Video Description: "This is a slideshow of the 9 month process of creating my sculpture Odin's Runesong with an audio commentary explaining my sculpting process. This was my biggest sculpture to date and a huge challenge for me. Odin's Runesong is based off the poem from the Elder Edda. Odin hung on the world tree Yggdrasil for nine days and nights in order to learn the secret of the runes. My interpretation comes from my interest in body modification and ritual, Odin is hanging in a resurrection suspension with the branches of the tree piercing his chest.

Video Description: "I am a member of Sveriges Asatrosamfund. We have been pestered by some crazy National Socialists and their bullsh*t today. For those who still don't get it: Forn Sed is a religion, not some kind of racism. I'll suggest all racists and nazis to just f*ck off!" Adult language.

Video Description: "Asatro och forn sed handlar verkligen inte om rasism, även om asatron ofta missbrukas av korkade rasister. Här berättas det om icke-rasistisk asatro. Asatru and Forn Sed is definetley not about racism, but sadly Asatru is abused by stupid racists. Here I'm telling about non-racist Asatru. In Swedish."

(I have been here several times. It is a beautiful ship.)

Video Description: "When I first started to learn the runes many years ago, I composed my own rune poems as a way to solidify the runes' meanings internally."

Video Description: "Here is part 1 of thew Death and the Afterlife Video. Real simple. Here I go over burial customs and a few references to what can happen when someone dies in Asatru concepts and theology."

Video Description: Speculative Asatru wedding scene from the movie Hvíti víkingurinn (The White Viking). "Here you can see some scenes of an heathen (Asatru) wedding as it may have been common across central and northern Europe before christianization. I like it because it is made very authentic. In the ceremony Askur and Embla marry. The priest calls Odin (the father of gods, god of wisdom, magic). Statues of Odin and Freya (the godess of love, magic, fertility) can be seen. Embla lies down two dolls to Freya to symbolize her connection with Askur. After the ceremony Embla receives presents from Greenland and Arabia. Finally Askur receives a Freya-pendant to protect their love. Freyas brother Frey (god of fertility, plants, etc) is also mentioned. Scenes are from the great movie "Hvíti víkingurinn" (the white viking), which is unfortunately very poorly known. A new version called "Embla" has been released recently, but it is also hard to get. The movie takes place in the year 1000 in Norway and shows the process of christianization.
