''When the world is pregnant with lies, a secret long hidden will be revealed.''- An Odinist ProphecyJust like the Cannibal Within, a chance encounter, although this time in the famous Atlantis bookshop, blossomed into a dialogue between the author and the anonymous adept of Odin. Called an "occult religion" for adepts, a "creed of iron" for warriors, and a "secret society" for higher men and women who value "knowledge, freedom and power," the Odin Brotherhood honors the gods and goddesses of the Norse pantheon.This non-fiction book details the legends, the rituals, and the Mysteries of an ancient and enigmatic movement.ContentsIntroductionIntroduction to the Mandrake EditionThe DialogueOdinism and the Mysteries of the PastThe Odin Brotherhood Today and the Heroic IdealOn Polytheism and the Nature of the GodsThe Eddaic Verses and the Three Ages of ManWhy Venerate the Odinist Gods?The Contacts between Men and GodsThe God Odin and His MysteriesThe Goddess Frigg and the Rite of MarriageThe God Thor, the Nemesis of TitansThe Goddess Sif, the Mischief of Loki, and the Skill of the Rock DwarfsThe God Heimdall and "The-Sojourn-of-the-Brave"The God Bragi, the Holy Words, and the Seasonal RitesThe Fair Goddess Idun and Her Enchanted FruitBrave Tyr, the Warrior GodThe God Njord, Magic, and the Vanir GodsThe God Frey and the ElvesThe Goddess Freyja, the Lovely Patroness of BirthThe God Balder and the Adventure of DeathThe Goddess Nanna and the Odinist Death RiteThe Legend of "The-Mountain-of-Promise"Destiny, Ragnarok, and the Mysteries of the FutureEpilogue -Eddaic SourcesWorks on Modern OdinismReviews of Earlier Editions ofThe Odin BrotherhoodThree New Chapters:SupplementOdin Lives InterviewSecret Societies: A Brief EssayWar, Odin, and Valhalla
