Today the Irminfolk published "The Eddas" through our publishing arm Hamer and it's Hamer classics series.
The Eddas is an unabridged, unaltered reproduction of the 11th book in the Norrœna library first published in 1905.
It contains the Elder Edda of Sigmund translated by Benjamin Thorpe, and the Younger Edda of Snorre translated by Blackwell.
We await a proof copy from the printer so we can look everything over, and then we should be in print and ready to ship in a few weeks. Stay tuned!

For centuries, folklore was maintained through oral traditions passed down through songs.
This video is a great example of a Faroese chain dance about events that took place around the year 999. You might recognize some of the references in Heimskringla.
The long ballads of several hundred verses are led by someone who has memorized the entire narrative. Usually there is no musical score, and only rythmic marching of the dance itself to keep time. As the story becomes more dramatic, the tempo spontaneously increases, or mellows for more somber events.
This was Europe's Wikipedia for millenia. Before the internet, before books, before even literacy.
Families, towns and nations passed down history this way.

At a regular Thing held in December, the Irminfolk Rede has chosen to migrate our calendar over to a bound Lunisolar timekeeping calculation.
Völuspá instructs us that Sol and Mani are to be used together with the stars (sparks from mundilfari) to recon time. It further informs that prior to Order being established in setting Sol and Mani on their prescribed course, the Sun and moon were errant and chaotic. We conclude from this that a tropical calendar alone is insufficient to the purpose of reckoning time.
Recognizing that this is not just about a timekeeping utility formula, but a profound revelation hinting at quantum physics, we decided to recalculate the Metonic and Callippic cycles going back to Midsummer, June 28, 330BC, then harmonize our calculations with modern Germanic heathen custom.
The story of Mani and Sol is so much more than just about knowing the next Thing date. It instructs us to understand numbers, numbers in time, numbers in space and numbers in space and time, collectively.

"They who high Timbered the Hoarg and the Hof"
In a few days we will begin fulfilling the first tier of Hof fundraiser rewards. Here is an artwork reveal.
The inscription "Þeir er hörg ok hof hátimbruðu" comes from the 7th stanza of Völuspá.
These are limited only to the Hof donors, so make sure we have your info if you donated. There won't be any more available ever again.

Today on 23rd November we remember the Holodomor disaster, the Stalinist man made famine in Ukraine, killing millions of Ukrainian men, women and children between 1932-1933.
The exact number of deaths will never be known, some sources say between 5-10 million deaths, the biggest genocide in European history.
Never forgive - Never forget!

Activities Include:
winter hike
Lectures & workshops
A Blót
Prepare accordingly, embrace the challenge, and step into the cold. Invite only, you need to be vouched for.

The Norrbotniabanan railway is planned to be built, and archaeological sites along the route have been examined. A 3,500-year-old burial cairn may now be removed to make way for the railway.
This petition will be sent to the Västerbotten County Administrative Board and the Swedish Transport Administration in the hope of stopping this desecration of our shared cultural heritage.

Here is a poem the Irminfolk wrote originally for Midsummer 2024. It is crafted in a quasi galdralog meter and is part of a series called "The Upward Path" which will fully encompass the Irminfolk's Odinist worldview when complete.

New Acheivement unlocked. State Sponsored Light Bulb Gifts.
The Irminfolk receives gift packages from the municipal energy companies now.
This goodie box contained a bunch of LED bulbs, night lights, receptacle gaskets, and HVAC filter whistles, along with crayons and coloring pages.
We will actually definitely use all this stuff, so, great.
We aren't sure if this is just some program, or if they appreciate us for not racking up tens of thousands in unpaid bills like the previous occupants.
So far, the interest on our security deposit has covered the Hof's tiny electric bill for several months in a row. Compared to the round-the-clock 200amp draw the previous occupants were using, and not paying. Maybe this is a thank you.

To bridge our contemporary Odinist practice to the distant past with tangible, spiritual links to the ancestral faith, we use Relics.
Relics "ground" our sacred spaces to tradition. There are three classes of Relics in the Irminfolk but for the most important we coined the term "Prime Relic" —an item from Pre-Christian Europe directly connected to votive practices.
As we are preparing to dedicate a new altar crafted from lightning stricken oak, we are housing within it a Prime Relic of exceptional quality. This Bronze sunwheel is dated to circa 700BCE, and was uncovered near the Drava River in present day Slovenia. Notably, this site also holds historical significance as the location where Emperor Vespasian was elected in 69CE in the presence of the Danube Legion.
To display the Relic reverently, we created an air-tight capsule upholstered in archival grade materials. The capsule is set into a bezel of the Earths' rarest Bog oak, excavated from near the sea of Azov, and radiocarbon dated to 6450 years.

A Yuletide warning for brainy young friends. Always direct your reading and learning towards the ultimate spiritual purpose. It is right for a young man so inclined to immerse himself in philosophy, theology and the world of ideas only if he ultimately manifests those ideas into a coherent way of being. The intellectually gifted can fall victim to a type of vanity that transforms them into wordcels incapable of living out the ideas they have studied. Theories become obstructions to the modes of being they present and the victims use them as masks to obscure their failure.
“All too often people forget that spirituality is essentially a way of life and that its measure does not consist of notions, theories, and ideas that have been stored in one’s head. Spirituality is actually what has been successfully actualized and translated into a sense of superiority which is experienced inside by the soul, and a noble demeanor, which is expressed in the body.” Evola

An experiment before Yule:
Using the Irminfolk's Yule Leuchter as a censer for Juniper incense.
Tablecloth not set on fire. Pass!
The Juleleucher actually decants the incense very well. Almost like a convection process going on.

A quick update. The Irminfolk has migrated all of its operations over to our nonprofit workspace account.
The link on the website now points to the workspace. The old, in-house forum is depreciated and archived. If you are enrolled in the Irminfolk Auxiliary or are a member, log in to your workspace account, thats where we are going to be doing the members-only planning and discussions.
Also, this week we are closing down the Hof fundraiser. It was a resounding success and next week we will begin reaching out to fulfil the rewards. We are grateful to all of you who donated online and off.
If you wanted to get in on that you still can until Saturday.

While we are working on getting the Hof ready for holding regular Blot, we are also working on readying all of the accutrements.
The Irminfolk's Horn is in conservation now as it needs a rim attached to stabilize some hairline cracks which have appeared in the mouth.
This horn is a special relic to us because it was used in the first Blots of modern Heathen revival in the 1960s and has been in continuous use since.
The rim will be gilded filigree probably mounted with precious or semiprecious stones.
The copper sheet in the foreground of this picture was taken from the roof of a New York cathedral during renovation. Should we use the church roof? A sort of Re-conversion?
In addition to the rim we are consulting for best practices to line the entire inside with 24k gold so that the horn is protected from contact with liquids in the future. This way it can remain in use for decades to come.

Heathens judge by phenotype. The 12th century Christian Danish chronicler Saxo Grammaticus wrote of an old king's daughter who he says "men believed" could judge a man's status by his physical appearance. When Olo Vegetus came to her Father's court, with a glare so fierce that brave men cringed beneath it, she acclaimed him "a kingly-born hero". All asked him to remove his hood and when he did they all admired his golden hair but he kept his eyes half closed so as not to terrify them.
Saxo's scepticism was at odds with common beliefs of his forefathers. Anyone could judge the merit of a man by his face alone.

👀 America's first president, George Washington, was a direct descendant of Odin.
Though the records are obviously euhemerized by christian revisionists, many Germanic noble lines claim direct paternal descent from the high Æsir God Odin himself. This fact reveals two things:
1. That even post-christianization, divine ancestry and lineage remained important to kingship and nobility, imparting a demigod status.
2. That later revisionists couldn't deny descent from Odin and so resorted to euhemerism (gods are just men bro) to downplay the reality of the existence of the native Gods of Europeans.
The Pagan past is closer to us than we realize, mainly because it flows in your veins

We just got done prototyping a resin mjolnir plaque that is a scaled up, near perfect, replica of the one on display in the Swedish Historical Museum.
Here it is finished in a dry brushed bronze tone. Next we will see how a silver tone comes out.
