'They judge that gods cannot be contained inside walls nor can the greatness of the heavenly ones be represented in the likeness of any human face: they consecrate groves and woodland glades and call by the names of "gods" that mystery which they only perceive by their sense of reverence.'   Tacitus, Germania

"If any wicca (witch), wiglaer (wizard), false swearer, morthwyrtha (worshipper of the dead) or any foul contaminated, manifest horcwenan (whore), be anywhere in the land, man shall drive them out."

"We teach that every priest shall extinguish heathendom and forbid wilweorthunga (fountain worship), licwiglunga (incantations of the dead), hwata (omens), galdra (magic), man worship and the abominations that men exercise in var-
ious sorts of witchcraft, and in frithspottum
(peace-enclosures) with elms and other trees
and with stones, and with many phantoms.

Two more examples of documentation from history which give clues to the degree of oppression and nature of that being oppressed.  Yet Odin will not be denied, and Breidablik's Grove is His domain.
