Is it normal that he's really into norse mythology?
A guy I know, not really a friend but someone I know, is really into Norse paganism. Not just interested in it creatively like fantasy fans and metalheads are, I mean he takes that stuff seriously. When it comes up, he's as obnoxious about it as Christians and Muslims usually are, making sure you know that your punishment for being wrong comes not in this life but the next. He spent a lot of money building a shrine dedicated to Freyja, he went without food for two days because he just couldn't afford it with the money he was putting into the shrine. It's actually pretty impressive, but he made it for silly reasons. He's studied and performs many rituals. A few times he's invited a lot of us over for a blot feast, which involves sacrificing animals. I don't even know how he got those pigs and horses. What's most worrying is that he's joined a mercenary company that regularly lends its services to pro-Europe warlords in Africa and the Middle East in hopes that he will die in battle so he can be taken to Folkvangr or Valhalla. I asked a friend what he thought about it and he said it was strange but it isn't really weirder or more crazy than other religions if you think about it. I don't think it should be ignored that easily.
