Links
We recommend the following websites (though we take no responsibility for their content):
Runes
Rune Net - International Rune Study Guild.
Kerstin Fehn – website for a good friend of ours and the most amazing rune reader you’re ever likely to encounter.
Rune Secrets – a very detailed site that looks at runes mostly through the lens of personal experience and experimentation.
Seidh
Bil Linzie – One of the greatest authors ever on seidh and all other areas of Germanic Heathen spirituality around! We don’t agree with everything he has to say, but we do STRONGLY, STRONGLY, STRONGLY RECOMMEND HIS WORK.
http://www.cauldronfarm.com/nts.html – Very Ergi, but I like it, and isn’t that what Seid is supposed to be?
Jordsvin’s Seidhr pages – a great resource from a learned seidhmadr.
Hrafnar Seidhr – Diana Paxson’s pioneering Seidhr group, who specialise in reconstruction of the oracular seidhr documented in the Saga of Eirik the Red. Different again to what Bil Linzie, Jan Fries or we here at Elhaz Ablaze are doing, but very awesome.
Seidhr Study E-List – Highly recommended if you are interested in this stuff.
Seidh.Org – Website of Diana Paxson (Hrafnar).
Firefly Pages – a site with information on entheogens and Northern Tradition-flavoured shamanism.
Magic
Phil Hine – One of the modern originators of chaos magic.
Jan Fries – We think everyone should read Jan’s work, particularly his books Seidways and Helrunar! They are, in our opinion, utterly essential.
Chaos Matrix – Fenwick Rysen’s chaos magic clearinghouse.
Spiral Nature – An occult resource exploring philosophy, spirituality and magick.
Boxing, Wrestling, and Berzerkergang
http://www.gutterfighting.org/ – Some excellent information and articles on WWII style hand-to-hand combatives.

http://www.nononsenseselfdefense.com/ – Marc ‘Animal’ MacYoung.
http://www.thearma.org/ – The Association for Renaissance Martial Arts.
Soma Fera – The Body Wild.
Confessions of a Would Be Superman – Clint’s Blog on Personal Training, Nutrition and Martial Arts.
General Heathenry
Hex Magazine – a remarkable and deeply inspiring journal on all aspects of Heathenism, with a slant to the theme of “the Heathen household”. Henry helps edit Hex. He also writes a column for the Hex e-newsletter, to which you can subscribe here for free!
Uppsala Online – features many excellent articles on Heathenism.
The Modern Heathen – A well-written site on many aspects of Asatru/Heathenism.
Not All Who Wander are Lost – A very opinionated, thoughtful, and informative site on all thing Vanir-related.
Wanderings on a Wain – home page of Svartsol, Vanatru exponent extraordinaire and brilliant author on matters Heathen.
Vanaheim Fellowship – Founded in October of 2009 as a devotional community dedicated to the honor of the Vanir Gods and practice of Vanatru – the Vanic side of Heathenry.
An Opinionated Heathen – Insightful blog which seems to be demanding that Heathenry develop the kind of rich theological maturity that other religions benefit from…
Gate of the Slain – Thoughts on Odin, the Aesir and their home.
Boar, Birch & Bog – Musings of a Vanic Godathegn.
The Crooked Path of the Spiral Grove – A collection of musings on Animism, Traditional Paganism and Witchraft, and the Pre-Christian/Pre-Historical Ways of Northwestern Europe and the British Isles.
House Wodening – Site of, among others, Eric and Swain Wodening, both Theodish luminaries with some fascinating articles on their blogs.
Viking Answer Lady – An odd but very informative catch-all information site on heathenry.
The Journal of Contemporary Heathen Thought – a peer reviewed publication that seeks to foster the development and promulgation of thought within the Heathen community.
Asatru Lore – the only online Heathen forum we’ve yet found that is worth your time. Lots of intelligent people here.
RationalWiki Asatru Entry – We hate to admit it but we have to broadly agree with the miserable portrait of Heathenry presented here.
History & Mythology
Northvegr.org – probably the single most exhaustive source of historical and mythological information on the web.
