I get a kick how there is one subset of the Odinist faith that is a violent aryan Brotherhood prison gang and another that is airy fairy hippy dippy nature worshipers and they both are fanitical in their belif that they are the real ones.
Personally I think that historically you probably had 10th century northerners from both points of view and they are both valid. The wiccan hippys want to change the parts of it they don't like or does not fit with their idealized view of how everything was peacefull and respected nature before the christians came.
I am sure there were tribes that were far more in touch with nature and had a vibrant culture that we ony know a tiny bit about. I am also sure that their were tribes just as violent and zenophobic as the AB who took slaves and commited rape and had human sacrifice like the blood eagle rites. Both the nazis and the hippys want to use my faith to give legitimacy to their political causes.

I think if you are not willing to die in battle then you can not call yourself a follower of Odin. It is one of the most basic ideas just like you have to belive in Jesus to be a christian. I am loyal to my family and my tribe most of whom are white but I would have no problem with another race joining so long as they were up to my standards.
