The three most prominent pioneers of modern Odinism in the English speaking world were Rud Mills, Else Christensen and "Stubba" (John Yeowell).Stubba's writings have been sadly unavailable in recent years. Now, for the first time, a collection of his most important pamphlets is reprinted, in an anthology that also includes several of his occasional essays from the British Odinist magazine he edited, "Raven Banner".The compiler of this anthology corresponded with Stubba from 1972 until 2010, and has since conducted extensive interviews with people who personally knew the legendary founder of the London-based Odinic Rite.
Odinism: The Religion of Our Germanic Ancestors In the Modern World by Wyatt Kaldenberg contains nine essays on the Heathen Revival and the Return of the Age of Gods. This book advocates polytheism, family centered traditions, ancestor worship, tribalism, and service to the living Teutonic Gods.Kaldenberg's Odinism: The Religion of Our Germanic Ancestors In the Modern World covers such topics as the role of women in the spread of tradition, culture, and technology in the ancient Northern European world, contemporary Heathen opinions, feelings, and attitudes towards Christians, Jews, Muslims, and other monotheists, how to prevent infighting within the Heathen community, the nature of our living Gods, the concept of separate realities, using Aelfin or elf-magic to connect with and bring forth the dead, how to write Odinic prayers, blessings, and rituals, how to devote oneself to our living Germanic Gods, and Odinic theology, philosophy, and moral principles. Since the Christian invasion of Europe, we have become strangers to our own heritage, culture, and values. Too few of us know anything about our native Gods, Folk customs, and ancestral traditions. We live in a culture that was founded on someone else's folklore, traditions, and history.The Heathen resurgence is prevalent in our modern world. As Christianity declines, young people are increasingly turning to polytheism for spiritual answers. From Iceland to South Africa, from Russia to Hawaii, people are returning to their native spiritual roots. Modern Heathenism is forming into a number of separate theological branches such as Asatru, Odinism, Theodism, Norse Wicca, and Wotanism. Odinism is a polytheistic religion. The Odinic faith, or the Viking religion, as Odinism is often called, is rooted in Northern European ancestor worship. Odinism is a family centered belief. It draws from the pre-Christian native beliefs of the Anglo-Saxon, Frankish, Germanic, Gothic, and Nordic peoples. Wyatt Kaldenberg's book, Odinism: The Religion of Our Germanic Ancestors In the Modern World, describes a branch of the contemporary Heathen rebirth known as Odinism. The chief Gods and Goddesses of Odinism are Odin, Frigga, Thor, Frey, Freyja, Ostara, Heimdall, Mani, Njord, Tyr, Sunna, Eartha, and Ullr.Of all the ancient Northern European religions, Germanic Heathenry has been the best preserved. The Icelandic sagas and eddas as well as many written accounts by Christians, Greco-Roman pagans, and others have left a record unmatched. In spite of this, Mr. Kaldenberg writes: "Studying and reading about Heathenism is essential. However, all your studies must take you to the next level. I am a strong believer in direct contact with the Gods. Even lost things can be re-discovered through direct communication with our Gods and ancestral spirits. By opening up direct relationships with our Gods, they will re-introduce themselves. The Divine talks to each and everyone of us every day. The problem is we never listen." Wyatt Kaldenberg's book, Odinism: The Religion of Our Germanic Ancestors In the Modern World, contains the essays: How Women Spread Knowledge Throughout the Ancient World How Do Polytheists Deal With Monotheists?Extreme Tolerance in the Heathen CommunityWhy Odin Is King Of Our GodsOdinism and Separate RealitiesGiordano Bruno, Son of OdinOdinist Prayers and BlottirThe 24 Points of the Heathen Folk RevivalThe 24 Oaths of the Heathen Folk Revival

From the ashes arises the sacred lore of the North, the ancient stories and proverbial wisdom of the Odinist religion. Mighty Gods and fierce Giants battle in the never-ending struggle between order and chaos, while men seek honor and glory in the eyes of their beloved deities. After many years of research and piecing together sources, now comes the first known holy text ever presented for the Odinist faith. Giving these accounts in their true, epic form, The Odinist Edda is designed as a religious work by and for the men and women of this path. In reconstructing this sacred epic, the idea is to create a living storytelling tradition that will honor the legacy of the ancient Teutonic peoples, while providing an in-depth source of Odinist wisdom for our modern world.

The original and genuine Book of Blots of the Odinic Rite inherits the rich and formal qualities of English ritual language. It derives, ultimately, from times when poetry was mantic and widely used for magical purposes. Now, as in the elder days, it introduces, interprets and celebrates within a spiritual context the events and seasons of life and of the natural year. The fully revised and updated second edition of The Book of Blots provides a comprehensive celebration of the events and seasons of the Odinist year. This classic handbook is now re-issued for the guidance of all heathens.
