I’m trying to weed out the crazy from the real.
Do we have a list of websites or tiktok profiles that have been weeded out?
If there is. My apologies. I have a head cold and not fully “present”. Thank you! ![]()
We don’t have a list of things that are “good” or “bad”, necessarily, but if you go through the Recommendations category you might find some good information! Also, if you ever have questions about the validity of sources you come across – books, websites, videos, etc. – please feel free to post in Q&A and ask!
For TikTok, I’m hesitant to even recommend anyone there because things change so much and the app is getting ready to be banned in the United States – I’m not sure if that’s going to be enforced or if it will hold up in the Supreme Court, but you never know ![]()
As a side note, I have a few videos on my channel that have advice for vetting sources, and I’m currently planning my February podcast to be on that same subject (so if you’ve got specific questions about finding stuff, let me know and I’ll add it to the podcast!)

I personally don’t use tik tok, not because it’s bad per se, but because, I don’t think sound bites give enough information. I use recommended YouTube channels but I find if you read from trusted authors, that gives me a good grounding so I can sense if someone’s an idiot or legit. Following Loki there’s alot of idiots! And being Norse, there’s alot of dangerous authors out there - so I’ve learnt to judge on content. If it promotes any form of division, I don’t touch it, and if they don’t provide where they get there info from, I don’t touch it. Just my way, I’ve thrown alot of books away for this reason. ![]()
Thank you both! I’m not a big TikToker but stuff pops up in my for you and I’m like. Is this legit or not?
I keep forgetting about YouTube! Thank you. I’ll look there.
And Megan I love your site!!!
That’s a really good question for a lot of stuff on TikTok
but there are also some really great people on TikTok with some great information. It’s always best to double-check and cross-reference the information you hear and see there if you’re interested in it.
Aww thank you!

Megan, I’m thrilled to learn you have a podcast and site, and will check them out immediately!
I’m mourning TikTok—even if the sound bites are missing sourcing, and if the drama is BIG, I found some great inspiration there to get back into my practice.
It will be back - no way it won’t be. It’s just a matter of how fast it’s back.
Well talk about having to follow my own advice sigh
. I’d joined a social media for Norse practioners, and it had wonderful education material , credit to the mods they put a stop to it, but the fact that it contained members who promoted hate towards other people, I’m out!
Have to be sooo careful. Account deleted.
Sorry for tik tok, it may be back. It’s still live here (UK).
It’s already back in the US and it looks like it will be permanently back after tomorrow’s inauguration
Yeah TikTok is different now. They are just trying to distract us from the bills they are trying to pass and take back money and spy on us
Aww thank you!
I hope you enjoy them!
