	Internet Book of Shadows: Nine Noble Virtues (Norse)
		Nine Noble Virtues (Written by Lewis Stead from the Raven Kindred's ritual book) The Odinic Rite lists the 9 Noble Virtues as Courage, Truth, Honor, Fidelity, Discipline, Hospitality, Industriousness, Self-Reliance, and Perseverance.
		The virtue of hospitality means seeing people as if they were all individuals with self-respect and importance.
		The final virtue is Perseverance which I think most appropriate because it is the one that we most need to keep in mind in our living of the other values.

	Virtue Ethics - WiccanWeb.ca (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		Virtue ethics is currently one of three major approaches in normative ethics.
		It may, initially, be identified as the one that emphasizes the virtues, or moral character, in contrast to the approach which emphasizes duties or rules (deontology) or that which emphasizes the consequences of actions (consequentialism).
		Virtue ethics has been a recurring theme of political philosophy in the emergence of classical liberalism or republicanism, particularly in the Scottish Enlightenment that was carried to the British North American colonies and influenced the Founders of the United States.

		The feeling of inner value and worth from which one knows that one is noble of being, and the desire to show respect for this quality when it is found in the world.
		I can't answer that for sure, but it seems to be a matter of their 'modern' origins - they feel it's unnecessary to 'codify' what should simply be a matter of familiarity with our Lore and good-old common-sense.
		But I also think that putting the Virtues down in fl and white makes demands and places limitations on what is considered acceptable behavior - something that some people are unwilling to accommodate, even as a guide, though the NNV say nothing that isn't stated or implied in the Lore.

		Yes, about six or seven years ago, I was one of them folks who would proudly repeat the Nine Noble Virtues over and over like a mantra in conversation, etc. But, now, I think they do more harm than good in the long run.
		McNallen's version is a series of statements: Strength is better than weakness, courage is better than cowardice, joy is better than guilt, honor is better than dishonor, freedom is better than slavery, kinship is better than alienation, realism is better than dogmatism, vigor is better than lethargy, and ancestry is better than universalism.
		Basically, the NNV are sort of a "cheat sheet,” or a really crummy "Cliff's Notes" that is very loosely based on the Hávamál.

		On the basis of the Poetic Edda, Northern European and Icelandic sagas and Germanic folklore, a system of Germanic values called the Nine Noble Virtues was first codified in England in the mid 1970‘s.
		A system of values such as the Nine Noble Virtues goes far beyond that, because it is ultimately based upon personal honour.
		Having read the Nine Noble Virtues in several formats I found it's emphasis too individual and grim (Odinists please excuse the pun) - industriousness, self reliance, perseverence and discipline - without the flair and concern for truth that is in the Celtic writings.
