1) Asatru/Germanic Heathenry 2) Family, Faith, Folk; Honor, Loyalty, Valor; Though I don't look at it as the same/similar to Biblical Commandments in specific importance as a list, essentially all the values included within the "Nine Noble Virtues" 3) and 4) drifted in and out most of my life ( 22 now), usually towards Heathenry but occasionally Celtic polytheism (as far as I can remember), and have been committed to it for the last few years and as my knowledge of pagan religions/paganism grew. Was very spiritual most of my 22 years so far, but frequently towards Christianity at various times; never really felt satisfied and always drifted back towards pagan beliefs, but only once I became old enough to actually pursue learning about it did I realize it is the best spiritual path for me. Had interest and limited knowledge of the Germanic/Norse Gods for as long as I can remember (at least by 10 if not younger) but only really learned about current practice/Asatru in the later years of High School. Have considered myself fully heathen and committed to these views and continuing to learn more most of my last four years in college, with no desire for any other spiritual paths.

5) none as of yet, as I have never knowingly encountered any other pagans or heathens in person, nor found any local kindreds

6) and 7) No children, as I'm only 22 and just finished college but eventually desire to. Yes, I plan to share my beliefs and raise them with them. I'm not against marrying a woman of a different/no faith and would allow her to educate any children we had with her beliefs as well; I would not allow any wife I may marry to raise any children of mine fully non-pagan or irreligious, and would require they're at least exposed to both sets of beliefs if not only my own.

8) As mentioned, don't know other pagans personally, so no, but others on the internet have done so according to themselves.

9) Yes.
