A Retired Swordsman On the River Grande, In the USA, Western European style weapons of any Type for its the style not the weapon. and 10th through 14th armor construction. All shields as again its the style not the weapon. With a nod to the teachings of Ralph Blum, and his Book of Runes. Then with other ancient ways my journeys have opened to me. I studied 2,500 Deities. I have found that all feel as if theirs is the only correct Deity. To me they all belong in the mythology section. Its easy, 3 rules. Know Thyself, Nothing in Excess,Harm None(do not be stupid about this one).  Its being in tune with cycles and the great Spirit of Self's that is the people of earth. The circle is self correcting.Even what is unbalanced can again be Balanced. if you are afraid you will have an UN-balanced self. Accept the truth of life and death. Some times its a leap of faith empty handed into the void of the Self. Doesn't mean we should fear it. Ever!
