Odinism under the African Sun

By 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.

“Time” to Live

“Time” to Live

A Great Moot talk by Eowyn OR

Wights and Our Folkway

by Juliegh Howard- Hobson AOR

The care and keeping of landwight relations is underemphasized in the many writings on Northern European folkways.

Family – The Future of our Folk

Family – The Future of our Folk
