  The Odinic Rite - Odinism for the Modern World -
As the Odinic religion is seen as a way of life - our inherited culture - Odinists feel they have a duty to pass it on to their children and to encourage their country men and women to find their own path.

 The Odinic Rite Australia
At its simplest, it is the autonomous Australian equivalent of London's Odinic Rite.
Both are officially defined in identical terms: "The Odinic Rite is the continuation of and shall promote the organic spiritual beliefs and religion of the indigenous peoples of northern Europe as embodied in the Eddas and as they have found expression in the wisdom and in the historical expression of those peoples."
There is some overlap between members of the Odinic Rite of Australia and the readers and writers of the Odinist newsletter "Renewal", but again we must stress that the two are entirely separate entities, although both save money by sharing a common address.

There are English and continental German heathens who express the genius of our people both within the framework of the UK or continental branches of the Odinic Rite and other, more local groupings.
Some of these associations, organizations and congregations are extremely localized, being the expression not only of the Germanic folksoul, but very particularly of the Norwegian folksoul, as it manifests itself in the geography of that homeland, and as it breaths that homeland's air.
Each group is different in ritual, focus, language, emphasis on the wider world, emphasis on environmental issues as they effect spirituality, and internal and external politics, both secular and international among other Germanic heathen groups.

Anyways, for a lack of better topics, the Odinic Rite, one of the larger Odinist organizations which I am proud to be a member of, was holding the Great Moot in England once again.
The Great Moot is a small celebration where members of the Odinic Rite get together, overview the past year, and exchange ideas for the upcoming one.
For those of you who are not familiar with either terms, the month of October is known as "Hunting," and the month of November is known as "Fogmoon" on the Odinic calendar.

Christensen was one of the earliest advocates of revitalizing Germanic Paganism in the modern age.
Her writings greatly influenced many of her contemporaries in groups like the Asatru Folk Assembly, the Asatru Alliance and the Odinic Rite.

 Nine Noble Virtues (Norse)
The Odinic Rite lists the 9 Noble Virtues as Courage, Truth, Honor, Fidelity, Discipline, Hospitality, Industriousness, Self-Reliance, and Perseverance.
I think most people, Asatru or otherwise, find this repugnant, but the only way to change it is to have the courage to refuse to take part in it.
The second virtue, that of Truth, is the one that most led our kindred to embrace the Odinic Rite's statement of values as our own.

While some groups follow a modified 8-ritual Wheel of the Year (admittedly of Wiccan origin), others, like the Odinic Rite in England, have a monthly Blot.
Other groups follow still other cycles, and by no means every group follows a fixed yearly cycle, although it does provide a sense of continuity and is a good way to connect not only with our Elder Kin, but also with the changing seasons.

This motive alone is enough reason for the Odinic Rite never to make any type of alliance with them.
Interestingly, some of those who advocated such an alliance in ORB some years ago were the very same ones who were engaged in the antics designed to cause a split in the Odinic Rite in recent times.
