The Heathen Mentors Project exists to provide new heathens with someone they can talk to. Mentors are slightly more experienced heathens, who have volunteered to answer questions, and generally reach out a helping hand to people who want someone to talk to about heathenry.
We aren't experts. We don't have all the answers. But we can answer questions and help you make sense of your experience. There's no question too "dumb" for us; and if your questions are beyond us, well, we might just know someone else who can help you.
You don't have to be a heathen to talk to us. We are happy to talk to people who are simply trying to decide whether heathenism is for them.
Send email to heathen-mentors-requests@worldash.org to ask us a question, or start a conversation about your experience with Heathenry. Or if you wish, you can contact any of us directly (click on the volunteer's name).
