The door is open. The fastest way to reach me is by email — I read every letter, though I answer at the pace of a woman who works slowly on purpose. Please be patient; I will get there.
For readers, questions, and notes from the path
If an essay struck you, if you have a question about a rite or a rune, if you are walking this path and want to write to someone who is walking it too — please do. These are the letters I most want to receive.
Write to: hello@heathenwomen.com
If you are writing about a specific essay, a link to it helps me find it quickly.
For corrections and disagreements
If you spot an error — a mistranslated line, a misremembered attribution, an inaccurate claim — tell me. I would rather be corrected than comfortable. I will update the essay and thank you in the margins.
Write to: hello@heathenwomen.com with the subject line "Correction"
For citation and re-publication
If you want to quote or republish an essay from Heathen Women, please ask first. The answer is usually yes, with attribution and a link back. The answer is sometimes no. Either way, ask.

The newsletter
If you want the essays to find you instead of remembering to visit, the newsletter is the best way. It is free, irregular, and goes out only when there is something worth sending.
What I cannot help with
A few honest lines, so we do not waste each other's time:
- I am not a counsellor. If you are in crisis, please reach out to a qualified therapist or a crisis line in your country. The old ways sit beside that work. They do not replace it.
- I do not read runes for strangers by email. If you want to learn to cast them, the Runes room is where to begin.
- I do not accept sponsored posts, guest posts, or link-exchange requests from SEO services. Please do not ask.
- I do not debate race or blood-purity claims. Those messages go unread.
For everything else — thoughts, questions, a line from the path — I am at hello@heathenwomen.com, and I would be glad to hear from you.
