The Burgundians

In this short article I will talk about a little known Germanic people: the Burgundians. The Burgundians have played an important role in what became the modern Switzerland. Indeed the part of the Swiss settled by the Burgundians became the “Suisse Romande” (French speaking part of Switzerland).

To Each His Own

“Time” to Live

A Great Moot talk by Eowyn OR As Odinists, we must realise the triune concept of time with its past, present and future as static entities does not belong to our worldview; indeed, common parlance demonstrates this admirably: "you can't live in the past;" tomorrow never comes."

Family – The Future of our Folk

From a young age, idealism ruled my conscious thought process. The world was, and to many extents still is, very ‘black and white’ to me.
