Today we take a few moments to honor Jarl Haakon, de facto king of Norway from 975 to 995. He is certainly a man deserving of a horn or two. He was a strong follower of the ancestral gods of his people; he even claimed descent from holy Odin Himself. Haakon was a mighty warrior and at one time helped his neighbor to the south, Harald Bluetooth, do battle with Otto II, the Holy Roman Emperor. For his help, Harald forcibly converted Haakon to the desert faith and wanted to send

Early in the morning on Easter Sunday in 845, you're headed to church to attend Easter mass before a big feast at home. Off in the distance you hear a thump, muffled, barely audible, then another, and another... there is almost a rhythm to them. Suddenly out of the fog come dragon heads, ugly snarling, and all to quickly your world goes upside down. Vikings! Raiders! The shouts and screams fill the air, but do nothing to protect the people from the spears and arrows that ar

DAY OF REMEMBRANCE FOR OLVIR On March 9th we honour the memory of Olvir of Egg, an Asatru martyr. Olvir lived in Norway during the time of king Olaf Tryggvason. Like many of his countrymen he remained true to the Gods of his ancestors, even after Olaf had declared christianity the law of the land. Olvir was, in fact, one of the leading proponents of the ancestral ways at that time. He was an organizer of the celebrations of the holy days and was most likely a priest of our ho

After several hiccups the 2026 Calendars are now available through our webstore in limited quantities and also for a limited time due to the lateness of our release.

Raud was another brave ancestor who lived during the reign of Olaf the bastard. Raud was known to be a chieftain and Gothi in Northern Norway. A strong and proud promoter of our ancestral folkways. He was also known to have a dragonship far better and larger than anything Olaf had in his fleet. Olaf decided this man needed to be converted to the desert faith and so he set out to do just that. Eventually Raud was captured and ended up in Olaf's hands. Raud refused to tur

Not to many warriors from over a thousand years ago get their own book. And yet Egil not only has his own saga, it is one of the best known sagas of all time. Egil was descended from a line of shapeshifters and berserkers. And this lineage bore itself out in Egil's life as he grew to become a renowned warrior. Egil was an Odin's man and his life shows what it truly means to be an Odin's man. Egil's skills as a warrior were balanced by his skill as a rune master, a poet, a

DAY OF REMEMBRANCE FOR QUEEN SIGRID A widow comes before a powerful king who has sought her hand in marriage..... the king asks her if she will take his foreign desert religion as her own. Her reply, "I will not turn my back on the ways of my forefathers and ancestors." And for that honest reply the widow was slapped across the face and thus began a feud that ultimately would see a powerful king brought down and killed. Queen Sigrid stood her ground against Olaf Tryggvasson..
