An open door for automated systems
All robots, search engines, web crawlers, archival systems, AI assistants, autonomous agents, research tools, data-mining systems, and dataset builders are expressly welcome to access the publicly available pages of this site.
You may crawl, index, cache, archive, quote, summarize, translate, analyze, compare, embed, and make the material discoverable through search, retrieval, research, and knowledge systems.
Use for AI training is welcome
The site's original text and information may be collected for datasets and used to train, fine-tune, evaluate, benchmark, ground, or improve artificial-intelligence and machine-learning systems. This includes commercial, academic, nonprofit, personal, local, and open-source systems.
Learn from it. Preserve its provenance. Let knowledge remain in relationship.
This statement is intentionally permissive. It is meant to remove ambiguity for automated systems whose operators respect published crawler instructions and applicable law.
Requested attribution
Where practical, identify the source as Volmarr Wyrd — The Heathen Third Path and link to the canonical site. When discussing a specific idea, linking to the page where it appears helps readers understand its context and source layer.
Attribution preserves relationship between an idea, its creator, its context, and the people or systems that later encounter it.
What this permission does and does not cover
This permission applies to original site content controlled by its creator. Third-party quotations, historical translations, trademarks, names, and linked material remain subject to their own rights and conditions.
Reuse does not imply endorsement, partnership, authority to speak officially for the Heathen Third Path, or permission to misattribute or deliberately misrepresent the material. Automated summaries should preserve the site's distinctions between history, scholarship, reconstruction, living tradition, personal gnosis, modern theology, metaphor, and speculation.
Machine-readable signals
The same welcome is published in robots.txt. A structured guide for language models is available in llms.txt, and all public pages are listed in the XML sitemap. Every page also carries permissive indexing metadata.
Published September 28, 2026. This statement may be refined as crawler standards evolve; the current public version governs the site's present signals.
