Odinism: The Religion of Our Germanic Ancestors in the Modern World

Odinism: The Religion of Our Germanic Ancestors In the Modern World by Wyatt Kaldenberg contains nine essays on the Heathen Revival and the Return of the Age of Gods. This book advocates polytheism, family centered traditions, ancestor worship, tribalism, and service to the living Teutonic Gods. Kaldenbergâ€™s Odinism: The Religion of Our Germanic Ancestors In the Modern World covers such topics as the role of women in the spread of tradition, culture, and technology in the ancient Northern European world, contemporary Heathen opinions, feelings, and attitudes towards Christians, Jews, Muslims, and other monotheists, how to prevent infighting within the Heathen community, the nature of our living Gods, the concept of separate realities, using Aelfin or elf-magic to connect with and bring forth the dead, how to write Odinic prayers, blessings, and rituals, how to devote oneself to our living Germanic Gods, and Odinic theology, philosophy, and moral principles. Since the Christian invasion of Europe, we have become strangers to our own heritage, culture, and values. Too few of us know anything about our native Gods, Folk customs, and ancestral traditions. We live in a culture that was founded on someone elseâ€™s folklore, traditions, and history. The Heathen resurgence is prevalent in our modern world. As Christianity declines, young people are increasingly turning to polytheism for spiritual answers. From Iceland to South Africa, from Russia to Hawaii, people are returning to their native spiritual roots. Modern Heathenism is forming into a number of separate theological branches such as Asatru, Odinism, Theodism, Norse Wicca, and Wotanism. Odinism is a polytheistic religion. The Odinic faith, or the Viking religion, as Odinism is often called, is rooted in Northern European ancestor worship. Odinism is a family centered belief. It draws from the pre-Christian native beliefs of the Anglo-Saxon, Frankish, Germanic, Gothic, and Nordic peoples. Wyatt Kaldenbergâ€™s book, Odinism: The Religion of Our Germanic Ancestors In the Modern World, describes a branch of the contemporary Heathen rebirth known as Odinism. The chief Gods and Goddesses of Odinism are Odin, Frigga, Thor, Frey, Freyja, Ostara, Heimdall, Mani, Njord, Tyr, Sunna, Eartha, and Ullr. Of all the ancient Northern European religions, Germanic Heathenry has been the best preserved. The Icelandic sagas and eddas as well as many written accounts by Christians, Greco-Roman pagans, and others have left a record unmatched. In spite of this, Mr. Kaldenberg writes: â€œStudying and reading about Heathenism is essential. However, all your studies must take you to the next level. I am a strong believer in direct contact with the Gods. Even lost things can be re-discovered through direct communication with our Gods and ancestral spirits. By opening up direct relationships with our Gods, they will re-introduce themselves. The Divine talks to each and everyone of us every day. The problem is we never listen.â€ Wyatt Kaldenbergâ€™s book, Odinism: The Religion of Our Germanic Ancestors In the Modern World, contains the essays: How Women Spread Knowledge Throughout the Ancient World How Do Polytheists Deal With Monotheists?
