Meet the Gothi 

Nick Younger 
President/Gothi

I've always believed what I believed, despite different upbringings in faith. It wasn't until I did my own research that I realized that most of my beliefs were side by side with Norse Paganism. After some studying of my own, influence by family members, and digging into my lineage and ancestors I finally realized why I am the way I am, and why I am who I am today. Many of my views on life were identical to the nine virtues far before I knew what the nine virtues were and despite their creation by the wrong people, they are found in our Norse sources such as the Eddas, and Sagas. The nine virtues to me are critical in life because despite where your faith may lay, or how you feel about their creator, most of them are common sense to live a wonderful, happy life, and since they were pulled and built in reference from our faith sources, I believe they can be used correctly. My experience with multiple groups, and Asatru communities have been far but pleasant unfortunately, including big name communities that are popular on social media. I feel good people go to these groups and communities for help and guidance, only to be made a target by lots of social media tough guys. After my most recent experiences with the most recent community I was in did I realize that, I myself wanted to build a place where people can go to learn, ask, study, and participate at their own will, without being judged or being made an example of. This is why I built the NFK, a place for Norse Pagans, and Pagans of all, to communicate, build relations, participate, and get the answers they need without the social media hate that many receive. You can say I've been Norse Pagan for many years now in a cultural aspect, but I have only started to participate in practice again in the last 10 years. I have sat down and did my independent research and reading, along with experience in my own practice. I do not believe any one man has all the answers, for Asatru is the faith of study. As Odin did in the myths, we all must never settle for the knowledge that we receive, for we should strive for more and more, and this alone is worth building the NFK, so many can share and learn about this wonderful faith.
