Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Beginning with Ronald Reagan’s 1980 presidential campaign, the term “religious right” entered the popular lexicon, coming to signify a politically and socially conservative form of Christianity that informs American conservatism to this day. Less well known are other ideologies that have influenced the far right since well before 1980, including Odinism, Creativity, and racialized atheism. The rising popularity of these extreme groups and their philosophical grounding in racial politics and religious bigotry has caused a shift away from—and often hostility toward—even racist forms of Christianity among American white nationalists. In Blood and Faith, Berry deftly explores the causes of this shift, rooted largely in response to racialized anxieties that are by no means exclusive to extremists in America. Focusing on the challenges these tensions pose for contemporary white nationalists seeking access to mainstream conservative politics, Berry also considers the recent rise of the so-called “alt-right” and the unifying issues of anti-multiculturalism and anti-immigration around which moderate and fringe groups have rallied. Blood and Faith is a provocative investigation of the complex, evolving role of white nationalism and an urgent reminder of the outsized influence of religion in American political life.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A controversial examination of the influence and presence of the Norse god Odin in contemporary history and culture • Documents Odin’s role in the rise of Nazi Germany, the 1960s counterculture revolution, nationalist and ecological political movements, and the occult revival • Examines the spiritual influence of Odin in relation to Jesus Christ • Profiles key individuals instrumental in the rise of the modern pagan renaissance Exploring the influence of the Norse god Odin in the modern world, Richard Rudgley reveals Odin’s central role in the pagan revival and how this has fueled a wide range of cultural movements and phenomena, including Nazi Germany, the 1960s counterculture revolution, the Lord of the Rings, the ecology movement, and the occult underground. Rudgley argues that it is Odin and not Jesus Christ who is the single most important spiritual influence in modern Western civilization. He analyzes the Odin archetype--first revealed by Carl Jung’s famous essay on Wotan--in the context of pagan religious history and explains the ancient idea of the Web--a cosmic field of energies that encompasses time, space, and the hidden potentials of humanity—the pagan equivalent to the Tao of Eastern tradition. The author examines the importance of the concept of wyrd, which corresponds to “fate” or “destiny,” exploring techniques to read destiny such as the Runes as well as the existence of yoga in prehistoric and pagan Europe, which later produced the Norse Utiseta, an ancient system of meditation. Rudgley documents how the Odin archetype came into play in Nazi Germany with the rise of Hitler and the pagan counterculture of the 1960s. He examines how the concept of subterranean and mythic realms, such as the Hollow Earth, Thule, and Agartha, and mysterious energies like Vril were manifested in both occult and profane ways and investigates key occult figures like Madame Blavatsky, Guido von List, and Karl Wiligut. He provides pagan analyses of Tolkien and the Lord of the Rings and documents the impact the Odin archetype has had on nationalist and fascist groups in America and Europe. Examining pagan groups in Europe and America that use the Norse template, Rudgley reveals true paganism as holistic and intimately connected with the forces at work in the life of the planet. Showing how this “green” paganism can be beneficial for dealing with the adverse consequences of globalization and the ongoing ecological crisis, he explains how, when repressed, the Odin archetype is responsible for regressive tendencies and even mass-psychosis--a reflection of the unprecedented chaos of Ragnarok--but if embraced, the Odin archetype makes it possible for like-minded traditions to work together in the service of life.

Download or read book Radical Religion in America written by Jeffrey Kaplan and published by Syracuse University Press. This book was released on 1997-01-01 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The burning in Waco of the Branch Davidian compound and the Oklahoma City bombing have heightened fear of American extremist groups. Jeffrey Kaplan combines interviews, correspondence, and publications not hitherto accessible to examine the cultic milieu in which these religious movements exist. Kaplan discusses several radical belief systems, but concentrates on three of the more prominent groups. They include the Christian Identity, whose members believe they are the true Aryan descendants of Israeli biblical tribes; Odinism and the related Asatru movement, which attempts to reconstruct the practices of Norse-Germanic paganism; and B'bai Noah, the anti-Christian movement in favor of God's covenant with Noah. To explain the existence and durability of religious cults, he applies the philosophy of Colin Campbell. From Martin Marty, he employs the mapping theory to place the movements in the sphere of American spirituality. His work details how the groups interact, the internal organizational friction, and how the private anti-cult groups—the Anti-Defamation League, Klanwatch, and Cult Awareness Network—monitor the activity of the movements. He argues that right-wing violence is primarily an impulsive act carried out by part-time revolutionaries against convenient targets or against that which represents change in the status quo. Thought provoking in his analysis, Kaplan lays bare the issues for current debate—how sectarian organizations, far outside the mainstream of American religious life, pose a significant challenge to prevailing conceptions of the First Amendment. He questions the extent to which even the most antagonistic and despised groups can carry out fanatical actions and still benefit from such protection.

Book excerpt: 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
