From the Editor…
Heilsan Folk!
Ok, Megi Odin blessi thig allure, í Odin’s nafn!
(And may the Gods bless you all, in Odin’s name!)
Those of you whom have been faithful HNO supporters from our formative years will recognize that we enjoyed rapid growth and success our first three and a half years of service as an Outreach Ministry and then we seemed to run into a proverbial brick wall!
We began to stagnate, as it were, and we began to fall behind in our production of GUNGNIR. The reasons were manifold, albeit never did we lack the creative resources or desire to serve.
Our initial mission was to serve our Folk as an Outreach Ministry for Fundamental Odinism. And so it remains that this is our mission… Our sacred mission today!
So then, what is an outreach ministry?
An outreach ministry produces literature, services and content which is germane to said ministry’s mission. For our part, we produce this content in the medium of an official bulletin of the HNO, Inc., Books (as they are produced), and electronically via the World Wide Web (internet), and booklets.
In this fashion, we serve the spiritual and religious needs of the Fundamental Odinist Folk Community the entire world over, free Folk and incarcerated alike.
What we are not.
We are not able to reply to correspondences that we receive, as this impedes our ability to be effectively productive. Corresponding with all whom write in or email, had become a full time job! This fact partially accounts for the inability too effectively serve your spiritual needs and produce viable matter. We shall return to publication on a bi-annually basis and with some good measure and sound guidance, we hope to publish Quarterly soon. We will return to a no frills, albeit not plain, format and delivery system of germane content solely produced by the Gothard (Priesthood/Clergy) of the Holy Nation of Odin, Inc.
Current issues of ANSUZ will be a donation of $5.00 US. All back issues of Gungnir will be a donation of $8.00 US. All donations go entirely to the HNO, Inc. to help defray the costs of operation of the ministry. Prisoner may pay in unused first class “Forever” postage stamps. Free world Folk must use U.S Postal money orders or PayPal only.
Also, the books; Ek Einherjar: Hammer of the Gods, and Vor Forn Siðr: A Handbook for the Living Einherjar and Valkyrjar are available from Amazon.cm or directly from the HNO/Vinland Kindred Publishing at the following, vinlandkindredpublishing.com. Additionally available from the HNO/Vinland Kindred Publishing is; The Doctrine of Essential Service (a booklet) for a donation of $5.00 US. The HNO’s Book of Blótar is nearing its completion at this time and further booklet publications may be expected as forthcoming as well.
Overall, we have redoubled our efforts and now hope to effectively serve your spiritual and religious needs as the only genuine Fundamental Odinist Outreach ministry. We shall not again, seek to over reach our means and resources, nor venture beyond the function of an outreach ministry. This will allow for us to journey forth from this point without any unnecessary pause or cessation of service. Still, as we endeavor to eradicate our short comings and continue to refine our ability to serve our Gods and Folk and the very mission of the 14 WORDS, the evidence of our very commitment to serve your spiritual and religious needs shall become both fluid and clear.
For those of you who remained faithful and loyal to this ministry, we thank you in the spirit of Norse-Teutonic hospitality!
May the Gods bless you all, in our Allfather Odin’s holy name. Heil Odin!
Megi Gothanum blessi thig allure, ok fara meth Odin. I remain yours in service and fraternal solidarity for the Gods, Folk and the 14 WORDS.
