I write
this because the name "Odinism" in USA has been defiled due
to the actions of some people who commit
terrorism and racism and have become monitored by some hate group monitors.
Firstly, what is Odinism?
The word "Odinism" is derived from two components: "ism",
from the greek "ismos" meaning ideology or teaching, and of course,
Odin. Odin's name of course, does not come from Greek languages. I believe
that his name (one name among various others such as Valfather, Alfather,
Grimlord, Helm Bearer, etc) means "The Giver
of Od". Od is the gift that Lord Odin gave to all descendents of Ask
and Embla (Humankind). Od is the ecstasy, or the sacred madness. A very joyful
spiritual experience for those who undergo it. But of course, it is not new
data foreveryone, with exception for newbies.
The Nazi racial teachings center around racial purity and
preservation (forgetting that all of us are supposed to belong to Human
Race) and are against miscigenation or so-called inter-racial marriage or
procreation.
Yes, a long time ago,
Lady Griselda gave us a brief note about the
view-point from the traditional lore concerning racism.
She states:
"Mainstream Norse
Pagans/Asatruar believe racism is wrong, and
point out that arguments that the Gods and Goddesses
want "purity" of the race are off-base since the Gods and Goddesses
themselves mated with other races themselves. (The races
most often referred to in Norse Lore are theAesir and the Vanir,
two races of Gods; the Jotuns, also known as the Giants;
Alfs, aka Elves; Dwarves; Idises (Ancestral Mother Spirits), Humans
and various monsters. There is much mating between
Aesir and Vanir, andthere are several Aesir or Vanir and Jotun
marriages). One point that isoften brought up is that after
Ragnarok, when the new Gods start again withthe New Midgarth,
several of these new Gods will be children of God/Jotun
unions - including Thor's sons, Magni and Modi. An oft-posed
question is "Who's going to tell Thor His sons aren't "pure"
enough?""
That is the point!
Lord Odin was not known as a God to everyone.
He chooses his True Kin. He is a Sieg Ase. (God ofVictory), Chooser of
the Slain,
God of Poetry and Arts because he shares with us the Od and the Mead of
Inspiration,
and afterall, he is a God of Balance.
And YES!!! Certainly
it will be NOT him who will tell to the most beloved of his sons,
The Rauða þórR that his grandsons aren't pure enough!
"Shunyata
tad rûpan. Rûpan sa Shunyata"
Prajña Pâramita Hridaya Sutra
The voidness is the form (The All). The
Form is the voidness.
"Young
were the years when Ymir made his settlement,
There was no sand nor sea nor cool waves;
earth was nowhere nor the sky above,
chaos yawned, grass was there nowhere."
Volüspá - Stanza 3
Carolyne Larrington's Translation
Then,
from ginnungunap surges the three primordial elements of
Fire, Ice and Wind. The Interaction, struggle and
BALANCE of these three elements generated our Universe as we know
them, and our Gods. The imbalance of these three
elements will cause the destruction of the Universe as we know
them and as described in our Eddic myths. By these three
elements we were created and by these three elements, we shall be
destroyed. Everything in nature is cyclical. To experience the next
Spring, we must undergo the Winter. Any true pagan or
heathen must understand this.
These three elements
have a some sort of correspondence with the
Three Cosmicological forces of Creative Chaos, Stabilizing
Order and Balancing Entropy (Destruction). We can also see a
correspondence between these three cosmicological principes and
The Three Maidens of Fate (known in Eddic lore as the Norns)
Verdandi, Urd and Skuld.
The Creative
Chaos is the Element of eternal
change. From it one derives the possibility of The New. But its excess
will cause
destruction. If everything changes in an unlimited manner
, nothing would exist and nothing would be really created.
To Solve this problem, there is
The Stabilizer- Order.
Order allows the newly changed object to become durable and
existent. This is the purpose of the Order, and the Chaos
working within the Order, possibly even the changes necessary to
life itself. But the excess of Stabilizer Order would cause the problem
of stagnation.
Without the fluctuations of Chaos, a thing may be stagnant and will
die. Like a statue.
This is why the force of Entropy (Destruction) force is crucial.
To act as a balance
between these two principles. The Entropy is an opposing force to
Chaos and Order. The excess of Entrophy however, would cause
universal destruction. Someday, it will occur,
but for natural reasons. With the action of Entropy, Chaos will
cease to give a place to the ordered situation of Voidness.
The Order itself then also ceases to exist, because there will be
no Chaos force to stabilze. Everything will turn towards
Voidness. The true Voidness that is Nothingness is therefore
Everything-in-potential. Within this scenario, even the Entropy will
cease
to exist, for if there is no object to be destroyed, there cannot
be
an entropy principle. When everything regenerates into
the state of Absolute Voidness that is Everything-in-Potential, the
Old (universe) was destroyed and (due to it,) a new one can
born. That is The Balance and the Cycle of Nature that Our Lore
teaches us.
The All-wise
One, The God who sees everything in The Nine Worlds from is Highest
Throne called Hliðskjálf, surely knew such teachings.
After the threat of the Dreaded Fenris Wolf , who was subjugated by
TyrR, who sacrificed his own hand, ask
yourselves why Lord Odin never asked someone to kill Fenris while
he (Fenris) was still imprisoned? Lord Odin knows that his
fate is to be killed by Fenris at Ragnarök. Why then? Because he
understands the need of the Balance in the structure of the
Universe. Even Ragnarök is necessary for the welfare of the
Universe. Even the efforts of the Aesir to maintain Ragnarök as far
as possible is mandatory. The Balance of these forces in conflict
is the thing that maintains our lives and is the force that gives
motion to the wheel of Seasons (Spring, Summer, Autumm and Winter)
in literal and symbolic meaning. Would you like an example of
how the figurative meanings of the wheel of seasons can be
applied? Here is one of various possible examples:
Odin
mated with women of other races in order to share their best
qualities and be multiplied unto his sons and cause Change
and Evolution. These two concepts are something that MUST
be
highly prized and honored by all True Odinists and Odin's
Trú-Folkar!.
What
about Loki? Loki is a Pure Jotun (Giant of Ice) who was
not
only accepted by the Aesir, but he became The
Blood-Brother of the Alfather, Valfather, Sieg Lord Odhinn.
Also,
Skaði is still a Jotun, but she was accepted by the
Aesir without any problems. (Well, consider it a reperation
due to
the pain and woe that the Aesic gods caused to her father...)
What does the Alfather teach us by this? He teaches that
a person's
acceptance must be judged by his or her own conduct of
behavior and personal
values.
Well, one may reply that it was only for the Gods, not to us.
Wrong!!!
When
someone claims to be Asatruar or Odinist, it
is supposed to
that one, to follow the norse Old Ways, or The
way of
Odhinn. Our forebears were not racists or racialists.
Race was not an issue to them, only culture.
The norsemen praticed so-called inter-racial
marriage. As it
happened with the inuit (eskimo) people is a
good
example. Well, if it happens, would the new
husband or wife
and the "half-breed" children be inuit
or heathen?
Answer: It depends upon how the new husband/wife
and/or his/her
childrens would act. If they live as a Inuit,
they are still Inuits and
only the Inuit community would accept them.
If they acted as in the
norsemen values and culture, they would be accepted
in the
norse community. And the norsemen had many inter-racial
marriages,
not only with the Inuit, but with many other
peoples
of different ethnic origin.
The mere origin of the norsemen are not based on racial purity. As the academics know, three ethnical streams was responsible to generate the norsemen. The Proto-Indo-Europeans, The Picts (The same ones who fathered the celts) and the Uralo-Althaic!
Ok, Ásatrú and Oddhinism is a religion not only of Honor, but of Freedom.
There
are some Kindreds that only accept people with
"pure" norse,
scandinavian, teutonic, germanic or whatever
ancestry. That
is acceptable IF they don't discriminate and
War (to have
freedom, we and they must respect the freedom
of others)
against asafolks or kindreds that do not adopt
these
characteristics, rather they accept people,
regardless of gender, race or
sexual orientation.
To form a new kindred or to accept a new member
into one, the new
member must be trusted. Even if I don't agree
with their
criteria to acknowledge if they can trust in
someone enough to be a
member of their kindred or association. Life
will teach them
as taught me that evil or dishonorable folks
can be found
everywhere, irregardless of ethnic origin. I
know about one kindred
in South-America that has had problems with
such "True Asatruars"
with pure blood... These dishonourable ones
abused the trust of
their Godhi, stole many T-Shirts and publications,
stole articles
from another websites and assumed their authorship
in the
name of the kindred (causing Copyright and reputation
problems to
that one...) Fortunately, these ones were BANISHED
Forever!!!
Oddhinnism
is a religion of Honour, Courage, Wisdom,
Perseverance,
and even Humility as taught in Havamál. Sieg
Lord
Oddhinn needed all his humility to be dressed
like a woman in order
to learn SeiðR from Lady Freyja for at least
one year. (Am I right?)
"A
small hut of one's own is better,
A man is his master at home:

Just
try to say all of these
words even in a reasonable
tone to
those racists who claim
to be Odinists. They will
deny these words
with all of their hearts
as a fanatical gospel,
and will ignore or
even reply agressively
even if they don't have
arguements to reply to
all of this, instead of
making a construtive discussion
and/or
learn something that may
make them change their
actions.

And if all this was not enough, to the students of History, I ask:
Need
I remind
all
of you
about
the
Marco
Polo
Protocols?
The
Marco
Polo
Protocols
are
a set
of ideas
that
was
used
by Marco
Polo,
the
famous
trader
who
bring
from
China
the
Spaghetti,
powder
and
mush
knowledge
in many
areas
of expertize.
Such
ideas
granted
him
success
in his
mission
and
we will
expose
that
here.
No
matter
how
strange,
no matter
how
much
foreigner
ye are,
IF
when
ye are
in foreign
land
or community,
you
attempt
to eat
what
they
eat,
eat
like
they
eat,
respect
and
follow
their
culture,
Worshipp
their
Gods,
worship
them
as they
do,
follow
their
ethical-moral
behaviour
standards,
and
show
sincere
efforts
to learn
their
language,
and
speak
like
they
do,
they
will
not
only
treat
ye as
an equal,
but
as an
very
important
member
of their
community.
Will
treat
ye better
than
one
of their
comminity.
Want
to know
why?
Because
ye are
a foreigner...
Because
ye are
a foreigner
who
respect
their
culture.
Because
since
ye are
a foreigner,
and
was
not
educated
in that
culture,
it would
not
be
expected
from
ye to
behave
in their
culture,
but
since
ye did,
they
feel
flattered!
Would
not
ye believe
yet
that
our
forebears
was
not
on the
criteria
of such
criteria
refered
as Marco
Polo's
Protocols?
Let
me quote
our
Lore
then.
"1.
Attention
I Ask,
for
all
ye Sacred
Folks,
both
high
and
low
of Heimdall's

thou

"
Volüspá:
The
Prophecy
of The
Seeress:
Stanza
1-2
We already
know
that
The
Jotnar
(The
Frost
Giants,
The
Ettins
and/or
The
Thurses)
are
usually
portrayed
in our
lore
as destructive
beings,
who
are
usually
enemies
of the
Aesir
Tribe.
But
this
two
verses
of Volüspá
shows
very
clearly
that
one
of the
Jotnar
Kin,
one
who
long
ago
was
nurtured
by the
Jotnar,
has
achieved
the
Aesir
trust
enough
to be
accepted
on a
Ting
(Assembly),
and
her
words
trusted
enough
to be
seriously
listened
and
it become
legend.
Adolf Hitler, in his mein kamph has said:
"The
first
step
to destroy
an nation,
is to
destroy
its
culture!"
Agreeing
with
this
Hitler
statement,
since,
as a
Thurse
(an
destructive
being)
he understand
very
well
about
destruction,
and
since
his
racists
and
political
ideas
have
nothing
to do
with
the
Original
Culture
before
Kristyanity
of the
North
Europeans,
we must
make
sure
that
Nazism
and
Racism
should
NEVER
be mixed
or mistaken
with
the
teachings
of the
Norse
Pre-Christian
Religious
Traditionalism!!!
And to allow THEM to destroy our culture, is to allow destruction to our heritage, our sacred link and to our coletive souls!
And
YES!!!
This
also
means
that
even
if somebody
is one
of those
"pure
breed
with
pedigree",
but
act
in a
way
that
destroy
our
culture
and
heritage,
One
who
betray
our
roots,
his
genes
don't
make
him
"saved",
much
less
an better
asafolk,
but
should
NOT
be respected
as one
of our
kind,
as one
of us.
Afterall,
not
even
one
of the
Aesir
was
free
from
punishment
for
his
evil
deeds
due
to his
genes!

But
we only
had
spoken
about
racism,
and
nazism
is also
an political
ideology.
Because
of Hitler's
Christian
abuse
of the
Norse
symbols
(and
indo-european
Symbols,
including
the
swastika,
there
is a
lot
of misguided
youngster
who
hear
their
ancestral
call
to our
culture
and
religion,
but
mistakenly
take
the
nazi
ideology
unfortunatelly
just
to feel
"more
germanic"!
Unfortunatelly
these
youngster
had
a lack
on Norse
Pre-Christian
Political
History
Studies.
"Nazism
is based
on the
belief
that
all
must
submit
and
surrender
their
indepence
and
rights
to think
freely
to a
father-figure
run
dictatorship,
which
essential
is a
very
patriarchial
christian
system
in essense.
Our
ancestors
elected
their
leaders
by votes
and
believed
in the
equality
and
righst
of the
individual.
therefore
nazism
has
nothing
in common
with
Asatru
or our
ancestors
beliefs!"
