Forums → WEPR → Ask from Odinist. :)

"Odinism" tends to be a racialistic, ethnicistic and ethnically exclusivist branch, near to the Völkisch ideals, addressed only to people with a clear Germanic ancestry, as opposed to "Forn Siðr", "Ãsatrú" which may or may not refer to racialist or "folkish" ideals. As defined by Goodrick-Clarke (2002), Nordic racial paganism is synonymous with the Odinist movement (including some who identify as Wotanist). He describes it as a "spiritual rediscovery of the Aryan ancestral gods [...] intended to embed the white races in a sacred worldview that supports their tribal feeling", and expressed in "imaginative forms of ritual magic and ceremonial forms of fraternal fellowship".

Do you reckon yourself in this description? If not, why not?

On what points do you follow or differ from the Edda and ancient nordic cults?

Thor is part of this pantheon.

@iMogwai
What you described is the norse mythology from the Edda, right? You're right in assuming Odinism, or any sort of neo-paganism, is a modern version of old "beliefs"; neo-paganism is just what the name says, it's modern-day paganism that hasn't a lot to do with how people lived back then. Much rather it's a more or less recent movement, that glorifies modern views on paganism rather than the actual historical culture. It's been supported by folk bands and especially folk metal (Amon Amarth to name a prominent example) who use that wave for commercial purposes, because, heck it works and sounds great!
Also motivations behind joining such a movement are very diversified.

Hmm... bladerunner you know if i want to go Valhalla i must die in battle and it happens if Odin is calling me away. Of course my soul can get Odin or Frej so don´t worry about my death. Yes, Odinism is neo-paganism and it is more real then Christianity. We have our god named Thor(God who nailed your God with hammer),Odin(god of wisdom and death), Frej(god of plentyness and peace), Freja( *****! who went bed for a jewelry), Loke(christians it is Lucifer) and other gods and godess. So don´t take it into your heard and ask from your all-mighty that: What are you have been done in Earth for a while. If i look the christianity history and what i see. I see wars about christians example: Holy Land war, destroying whole nation in America, South and North. I see a lot of death and it is not noble. Even A. Hitler thought god help him. Then i see witch hunting what was very useless, what was the Vatikan thinking??? And i read a Bible, hahahahaa, it was a very big fairytell, God created world only 7 days?? Ou comeone!!! And the legend of Noa ship, guys dont copy other religion storys and did you realy thought that Noa survived after the God anger was gone? No he died in all disease what God favourite animal FLY gave it and ofcourse microbes. And this is enough for a while. Ask more

What made you choose this path, or were you raised this way?

I was christian first but when i find about christianity in history and my parents broke up so i send God into Hell haahhaha.. and started listening black, folk metal and punk. I asked help from gods when i had hard times and they helped me also they gave me inspirations and motive to live and art.

And i like North gods much more then God and of course i live in Estonia and swedens are gave us some north culture so the Odinism culture is more clean then christians..

and started listening black, folk metal and punk.

music is very related to my religious becouse nargaroth, burzum, marduk, korpiklaani, finntroll, troll and other. Punk is just cool
