The Northern Gnostic
This is my Christo-Heathen webpage that I created in early 2000.
I'm pleased that it has become closely associated with the English
Folk Church of Andrew Waterhouse.
I am a very proud member of the Asatru Folk Assembly. If you are new to
all of this and want to learn more about our traditions in the AFA, please check
out Steve McNallen's informative FAQ.
Odsmal
Odsmal is one of the greatest Asatru books ever written. Modern
Heathenry needed a tome such as this! Containing profound wisdom, this
book offers a glimpse of Asatru's highest potential. Gudrun Kristin has
done a great service for all contemplative Asatruar.
Seidhman Rants
An excellent exploration of the mirror image ancestral community living
underneath us. This exceptional work, written by a man who ran out
of luck, is highly recommended!
What would Odin say
about Gun Control? If you want gun control, use both
hands.
Like most Asafolk, I have a tremendous respect for the Native peoples of
North America In fact, my daughter has a small amount of
Cherokee ancestry. The following important articles by Stephen
McNallen, are from the Asatru Folk Assembly.

Here is the Lakota Declaration of
War which the AFA fully supports.
Viktor
Rydberg In my opinion Rydberg understood Norse mythology better
than anyone. The work of this great mythologist has been continued by William
Reaves. This is the most important research that has ever been
done on Heathen theology.
Here is Viktor Rydberg's Teutonic
Mythology which was translated by Rasmus B. Anderson.
Also please check out Eysteinn Bjornsson's Synopsis
of Rydberg's Edda.

Thorshof Superb site about
Thor and the Vanir. Superior artwork as well. Exquisite!
WolfRaven's Celto-Germanic Page
I love Asatruar that practice both Teutonic and Celtic religion! The two
cultures are really just different expressions of the same faith. Celts
and Teutons share many of the same gods under different names. It pleases
me when people recognize this. (This link might be
gone.)
The Rune Net
The Rune Net is forging a blade of runic might in the South Pacific.
These explore the kinship between the Celts & Hindus. Good idea!

traditions are disguised in Catholicism. Here is a link celebrating such
connections. The Ordo Arcanorum Gradalis is an Arthurian Fellowship that
blends Neo-Paganism with Gnostic Christianity. This web site contains
chapters from Shadwynn's intelligent and enchanting book The Crafted Cup.
Finding this book in 1995 was one of the biggest events in my spiritual life.

Most Asatruar can't stand the idea of Norse Wicca. This is
unfortunate. In my opinion, the more people honoring the Aesir & Vanir
the better. As long as the Wiccans are careful to distinguish between
authentic Heathen practices and modern Wiccan traditions, I have no problem with
it.
My friend Chris N. happens to have an excellent site on Norse
Wicca.
Yggdrasil- The Scandanavian
Tree of Life and the Baha'i Faith OK this one is pretty darn

Here are some of the many Northern Tradition denominations.
For the most part these are all national or international organizations. I
have, however, also included some smaller regional tribes and micronations.
All of these groups certainly do not share the same points of view.
