Stuck in a Rut?
Family & SocietyBy Reginhard OR
Have you ever found yourself stuck in a rut? Most people have, let’s be honest sometimes it seems like a constant rut. It is very easy to immerse ourselves in a particular routine, so much so that months and sometimes years seem to fly by. In all things we do, work, family, hobbies, we end up endlessly repeating the previous cycle, almost like a hamster running on a wheel.
Death: The Meaning of Life
Family & Society, OR and OdinismA Great Moot talk by Eowyn OR
How many of you here know the meaning of life? How many of you are searching for it? Well, I will tell you right now what it is. You, you, you- and you- are all going to die! Every single one of us in this room. It could be today, tomorrow, a year or decades from now. But the immutable fact of life is that nobody but nobody escapes death. It is the one uniting factor of all life on Earth.
From a Word to a Word
Family & Society, Poetry & ProseBy Volksieg AOR
Language is one of the greatest tools and gifts mankind has ever wielded. Imagine a world without language? The rich inner world we each inhabit and explore cannot even take shape without the tools which language has provided.
Freedom
Family & Society, OR and Odinismby Redwald OR
When Friedrich Nietzsche wrote in Thus Spoke Zarathustra, “Are you a man as ought to escape from a yoke?”, he sparked an interesting dilemma for anyone of an evolutionary Odinic mindset.
The Germanic Mother and the Zeitgeist
Family & SocietyBy Sigurd AOR
When Tacitus wrote his Germania, he mentioned, in awe, how much veneration our Heathen ancestors gave to women, especially mothers. But somehow, somewhere along the way, this veneration got lost, and changed to utter demonisation...
Odinism under the African Sun
Family & Society, OdinismBy Gabriel Maritz AOR and Suzi Marsden AOR
Every time I Blot in this beautiful country, I can feel the land wights and nature spirits welcome me. The Gods speak to me and our Galdrs echo through the landscape. It re-energises and revitalises me, just like it did in England. It feels completely natural and right, ancient and true, thus I respond with my whole heart and soul and do not hold back.
THE END OF THE WORLD IS NIGH – The 2012 Myth: Is it true?
Family & SocietyA Great Moot talk by Eowyn OR - October 2012
Good morning folks. Are you all having a good time?
Great! Then I suggest you make the most of it because this may well be our last Great Moot - that is, if you believe that we have only 55…
Wights and Our Folkway
Deities & Lore, Family & Societyby Juliegh Howard- Hobson AOR
The care and keeping of landwight relations is underemphasized in the many writings on Northern European folkways. Yet, it is the wights, (disir, alfar, house wights, land wights, tompts) who actively strengthen—even more than our ancestors, and more than our gods--our vital link, our holy bond, to Nerthus, the earth, this place we occupy day and night until we leave.
Family – The Future of our Folk
Family & SocietyFrom a young age, idealism ruled my conscious thought process. The world was, and to many extents still is, very ‘black and white’ to me. And never has this philosophy been proven more correct than when I learned of the eternal concept of Natural Law, for in nature we constantly see very simple and definite answers to issues which have been significantly over complicated by our so-called ‘civilised society’.
Isolation and the Threat of Apathy
Family & Society, OR and OdinismBy Asbrandir AOR
I believe that it is clear to most people that apathy is generally caused by two factors. The first would be lack of personal contact with another of like mind, with whom ideas, thoughts and general comradeship can be shared. The second, adding to the burden of the first, is to see on a daily basis one’s highest principles and ideals disregarded and trodden into the dirt, if not made outright illegal, in our dishonourable times.
Hierarchy of Needs
Family & Society, OR and OdinismOften over dinner conversation in our household, we discuss the chaos that surrounds our Folk. We are usually left grasping at exactly “why” the terrible things in this world are allowed to continue. Why do the powers that be allow the most despicable activities to continue? Interestingly enough there is an explanation. It begins with the business world…the economic world.
Modern Enemy – Modern Psyche
Family & SocietyBy Phil AOR
This article is not intended to be a history of Kings and wars, nor could I relate facts any better than the multitude of books available on the subject. What this article is about is the psychological and physical way power is won and lost, how it affects the people of Britain today and how we can reclaim our birthright.
