What are your thoughts on the idea I have of creating an online library from the collected resources? It would be similar to what /fringe/ has here:

I can highly recommend Lady of the Labyrinth (Maria Kvilhaug) on YouTube. Her video series on how to interpret the poems in the Edda really made me look at them in a new light.

She stresses the importance of translating the names, which would otherwise make no sense to a modern reader: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=evE6aLg-_Q8&list=PL69DFD95FB096EAEC&index=1

"Nordens demring - Nordiske myter og sagn" Niels Chr. Brøgger is a great introduction to the Norse myths and sagas. The book is beautifully illustrated by Knut Yran (see the attached pictures for some samples)

"Norrøne gude- og heltesagn" by P. A. Munch (and the revised edition by Anne Holtsmark) is another great book on the subject - a very thorough and in-depth book that explains the names and meanings behind the myths.

I link Guðrún Kristín Magnúsdóttir's channel with a strong word of caution:

https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCQj_jtWzylAQRYhCeOB-syA

She's an Icelander who is intimately familiar with the Heathen worldview, so there is knowledge to be gained.

HOWEVER, she is also a Transcendental Meditation enthusiast, and in many videos, is clearly trying to force fit the Heathen worldview into the Trancendental Meditation worldview. Plus her accent can be a bit on the thick side.

Be prepared to shift through some dirt before you get to the gold.

Grumpy Lokean Guides - Edda Translations
http://grumpylokeanelder.tumblr.com/post/60472960801/grumpy-lokean-guides-edda-translations
I see people asking quite often which Edda translations are the best. To that end, I’ve compiled my reviews on various translations.

The best translation:

Dronke, Ursula. The Poetic Edda. (3 vol.) - Do whatever you can to get your hands on these. They were limited runs and are obscenely expensive, so you’ll probably have to do what I did and read them via interlibrary loan through a university. The Old Norse is presented alongside an extremely accurate English translation with extensive footnotes and translations notes. Commentary is included that provides valuable historical and cultural context, explains difficult terms, discusses religious and social pressures that may have influenced the texts… just amazing. Mrs. Dronke unfortunately passed away before the fourth volume was complete, but I’m still crossing my fingers that it will be released. A read through Dronke’s translations and essays will do wonders for your comprehension of the Poetic Edda.

Reveille For Tweedledum and Tweedledee
The Pagan and Christian Schism In The White Folk Cause

Give this article a read….is there anything violent or terrorizing in this article? No, it just talks about the roots of Christianity and how religion should not be a division….so how does this article warrant a move to the highest security prison in America?

http://news4whites.blogspot.com/2014/11/is-this-sign-of-what-is-to-come-with.html
Gary Yarbrough went to prison in 1984. He was the first member of the former Order to be arrested. He has been in prison for 30 years. This is more time than most hardcore murders or bank robbers do. In 2010, Gary had a release date of November 24, 2014, and they tried to vacate this date because of "association."

>9.03A-No racism or intolerance is allowed. No kindreds, individuals, or groups of people that support racist ideas are going to be allowed to remain members of TAC once TAC has become aware. TAC is fully against racism and intolerance. No exceptions! It is the duty of members to report anything suspicious to The Council.

>The Council

It's almost like they are creating an anti-white "asatru" government to rule over these newly formed Asatru communities. They want to centralize control of Asatru and promote universalism just like you'd find in Christianity.

Theses morons will fail because the breakdown of western culture that is occuring and the decreasing European populations in their own homelands will lead to resentment of universalist ideals.
