Tiller Talk - Editorial - Rurik Grimnisson

Greetings! In the last talk I focused on the similarities of Quantum Physic Theory and the esoteric interpretation of the Nordic creation myth. This has led me to speculate on the relevance of archaic religious symbolism to modern western man, particularly of Abrahamism (Judaism- Christianity-Islam) in the light of scientific understanding of our cosmos and of human psychology.

The Ravens Caw - Editorial - Dirk Schmitt

The concept of an unbroken tradition is often sprouted by many, but it seems the true implications of statements of such nature, most often pushed by the Neo community to lend their NEW ways an air of respectability and authenticity, are often ignored. Picture the scene, a person boasts that their ancestors were descendants of say Tutankamun, but in reality they are just a common person descended from say a respected merchant family, but it simply isn't good enough as it fails to stroke their ego. Now, lets ask ourselves, what would that persons ancestors think about them, and how would they, living in the Otherworld, react to such a situation? This is the plight of the Neo Pagan.

Lithend - Serial Story - Henry Lauer

Urgardh – “And so I am sure that Aela, who you see here, would happily lead you to the place. She has been scarred as much as any has by the arrival. You would help these men, would you not, Aela?” He turned to gaze at her, and seven other pairs of eyes followed. She frowned, brow furrowed. Each of them was a vision of violence swimming just below the surface, the strict honour of the sword scantily restraining that power to bring death and agony. But she did not think anyone could save the village, and so she merely nodded, in such a way that all present assumed she was agreeing with Urgardh that she would lead these men.

The AET, Membership and You - Dirk Schmitt

The AET is an Australian organisation with one goal and one goal only. To bring about the development of the Elder Germanic Folkway in Australia and to aid and support folk who wish to do the same. To this end, we have set the AET up as a national organisation, with legal recognition in all States and Territories of Australia. We are an Income Tax Exempt organisation already and are fully functioning with a small initial member base.

Einar's Saga - Historical Fiction Serial - Rurik Grimnisson

It took an hour of hard riding to reach Gunnstein's holding. Sheets of ice skimmed deep puddles in low-lying areas of the trail, making it treacherous to exceed the heavy Fjord pony's characteristic trotting gait. By the time Einar spied the numerous strands of smoke rising above the trees, which indicated he was now on Gunnstein's land, he was sorely tired. His morning hunt had used up his breakfast and his stomach rumbled - he was not in the best of humour.

Circles for Space - Article - Madhusree Mukerjee

A vast, shadowy circle sits in a flat wheat field near Goseck, Germany. No, it is not a pattern made by tipsy graduate students. The circle represents the remains of the world's oldest observatory, dating back 7,000 years. Coupled with an etched disk recovered last year, the observatory suggests that Neolithic and Bronze Age people measured the heavens far earlier and more accurately than scientists had imagined.

After the sun had fallen over the Battlefield on that ‘Good Friday’, the 23rd April 1014 at Clontarf, in Ireland, the whole area was littered with thousands of bloodied and bloated corpses, an incredible number of human life lost in one of the bloodiest and strategically modernised battles of its’ time, fought equal to a modern conflict, in dark-ages Irish history.
