About this ebook

Paganism is a growing force, and I believe a disinterested
observer should record and publish some of the material
available on the Odin Brotherhood, a mysterious fraternity that
is one of the most interesting manifestations of Odinist polytheism.
Because my aim is preservation rather than criticism, I have
simply detailed the Brotherhood’s beliefs and have made no
attempt to scrutinize their “mysteries.” At times the ideas
relayed to me were unusual in the extreme—doctrines that deify
men and humanize gods, legends of magic gates that lead to
divine enclaves, prophecies of wars with apocalyptic monsters,
clues concerning a treasure trove of golden monoliths, and much
more.

    The Odin Brotherhood - Mark Mirabello

    The Odin Brotherhood

    By Mark Mirabello

    New Edition Copyright 2014 The Odin Brotherhood.

    Odinism and the Mysteries of the Past

    AUTHOR: What is Odinism?

    THE ODIN BROTHERHOOD: Odinism is an ancient religion that acknowledges the gods by fostering thought, courage,

    honor, light, and beauty. Older than history, Odinism is all that

    was called wisdom when the world was new and fresh.

    AUTHOR: And what is the Odin Brotherhood?

    THE ODIN BROTHERHOOD: The Odin Brotherhood is a

    secret society for all extraordinary mortals who embrace the

    principles of Odinism.

    AUTHOR: Extraordinary mortals?

    THE ODIN BROTHERHOOD: Men and women who possess

    an epic state of mind.

    AUTHOR: When was the Brotherhood established?

    THE ODIN BROTHERHOOD: Although Odinism is the

    primordial religion, the Brotherhood itself is only five centuries

    old. It was established during the time of our humiliations.

    AUTHOR: The time of your humiliations?

    THE ODIN BROTHERHOOD: The era when Odinism was

    the victim of premeditated cruelties. During this dark period,

    our people were murdered, our temples were annihilated, and

    our altars were profaned.

    AUTHOR: And who persecuted the Odinists?

    THE ODIN BROTHERHOOD: Men and women who were

    black with hate. They called themselves the vassals of Christ,

    but they were liars.

    AUTHOR: And was the use of force effective? Did Odinists

    betray and abandon their old gods?

    THE ODIN BROTHERHOOD: In the end, the Christian

    terrorism made Odinism stronger.

    AUTHOR: Stronger? In what way?

    THE ODIN BROTHERHOOD: Purified by violence, Odinism

    became a religion for the highest form of heroes. From those

    heroes—the young, the strong, the living—the Odin Brotherhood

    was born.

    AUTHOR: Tell me more about the Brotherhood’s origins. In

    precise terms, how was the movement initiated?

    THE ODIN BROTHERHOOD: The Odin Brotherhood was

    inaugurated in an obscure village built out of gray mud and

    brown thatch.

    AUTHOR: What was the name of the village?

    THE ODIN BROTHERHOOD: There are certain facts I must

    conceal. In the legends, however, the place is called "The-

    Heart-of-the-White-Darkness."

    AUTHOR: And what occurred in this mysterious village?

    THE ODIN BROTHERHOOD: The process that would initiate

    the Brotherhood started in 1418 when an ugly and venomous

    Christian priest arranged the execution of a young widow.

    AUTHOR: What was the widow’s name?

    THE ODIN BROTHERHOOD: That also must be hidden. In

    the legends, however, she is called "The-Shrouded-One-of-

    Odin."

    AUTHOR: And why was the woman executed?

    THE ODIN BROTHERHOOD: The priest, a man infamous

    for his bigotry, had seen the young widow honoring the old gods

    in a remote grotto.

    AUTHOR: And honoring the old gods was a capital offense?

    THE ODIN BROTHERHOOD: That is correct. In the twisted

    words of the fiendish nonsense that was then called law, death

    was the punishment for "murmuring heathenish incantations and

    performing pagan rites."

    AUTHOR: So the woman’s fate was sealed?

    THE ODIN BROTHERHOOD: Yes. The priest did offer to

    spare her life if she submitted to his carnal lusts, but the young

    widow scorned his obscene suggestion.

    AUTHOR: And did the priest murder her with his own hands?

    THE ODIN BROTHERHOOD: No. With eloquent

    vehemence, the priest inflamed a mob of peasants in the village,

    and they slaughtered the young widow. In the legends, the mob

    is called The-Hundred-Soulless-Authorities.

    AUTHOR: And how was the woman killed?

    THE ODIN BROTHERHOOD: First they cut her beautiful

    eyes from her head. Then, with red-hot pincers, they ripped her

    tongue from her mouth. Finally, they burned her quivering body

    on a pyre constructed from green wood.

    AUTHOR: Why was green wood used?

    THE ODIN BROTHERHOOD: It burns slowly and prolongs

    the agony of the victim.

    AUTHOR: The widow’s immolation must have been a ghastly

    spectacle.

    THE ODIN BROTHERHOOD: Yes. And her three young

    children, a boy the legends call Mocking-Defiance, a girl who

    is known as The-Power-of-Innocence, and another boy who

    is called Desire-to-Rebel, were forced to watch.

    AUTHOR: Was that the priest’s idea?

    THE ODIN BROTHERHOOD: Yes. And as the children

    witnessed their mother’s sufferings, they were goaded by the

    priest and his diseased imagination. These were his words:

    Hear the hideous bellowing of the harlot who gave

    you birth? Soon—very soon—she will be groaning in

    the deepest pit of hell with her counterfeit gods. If

    you do not become children of the one true church—

    if you do not learn to kneel, believe, and obey—the

    devil will one day make you share her pain and her

    grief.

    AUTHOR: And what did the children do?

    THE ODIN BROTHERHOOD: Of course, they were not

    afraid of supernatural terrors.

    AUTHOR: Supernatural terrors?

    THE ODIN BROTHERHOOD: They did not fear a fictional

    hell, a scarecrow called the devil, or the other spurious horrors

    contrived by extinct theologians.

    AUTHOR: And why were they not
