Wes’ post on Icelandic magick got me thinking about other Scandanavian magick systems. The fastest growing (in practitioners) probably being that of Asatru.
I was once acquainted with an individual who belonged to this religion – he was in the process of writing a book on runes. He informed me about how he spent one day a week at various prisons in the area teaching Asatru. It seems that (and we all know that in prison you usually have to align yourself with one group or another) there are plenty of white inmates that don’t wish to align themselves with skinheads. Asatru – with its tough Nordic ancestry – has become the number one alternative.

Klint, I want to commend you on an excellent choice of guest hosts.
I haven’t read either of your blogs before I saw you guys posting here, and now I can’t go a day without.

Thanks for the kind comments. I’m sure I speak for Wes too when I say that they’re very much appreciated.
