Folkish Appalachia

Yall check out this stream tonight, just a bunch of Heritage Appalachians hanging out and conversating. We'll be covering a wide range of things, so pop into the chat and get some questions in

"Asatru is often called a “warrior faith”, and there is some truth to this. Our male ancestors often fought with sword, shield, axe, and spear to protect the things that mattered to them, and that still matter to us. They were almost all required to have some sort of martial bearing, and to be able to stare conflict in the eye without taking a single step backward.
We, those warriors’ descendants, live in a time where comfort is king for many people, in the deepest and scariest sense of that phrase. Martial prowess is no longer expected from us, or seen as necessary. There are not currently any physical battles to fight; no need to smash through a shield wall, no need to plant some archers in that tree line over there, etc… However, as men, we have a physical need to exercise that aggression. And as ARYAN men, we have a need to exercise that aggression in a HEALTHY way.
The best options for this are weightlifting, and combat sports. We will never feel the rush of smashing a war axe through someone’s shield, but you CAN feel the raw power of lifting iron off of your chest, or from blocking another man’s left hook.
This is a call: if you want to call yourself a warrior, get in the gym. Put on the boxing gloves, or the ace bandages around your joints if you’re old like I apparently am, and get to work. Face that fight. Make yourself solid in a world of mush.
If you need tips on a decent but simple regimen, send me a message and I’ll help get you started."

What is it that the Asatru Folk Assembly is doing?
1. We have 4 Hofs (temples) to the Aesir, with a 5th coming soon. We have Sigrheim, a 70+ acre tract of land in Tennessee that will be the spiritual home (as well as physical home) of the AFA. With a planned community, Great Hall, and Hof to Tyr planned for the site, rituals are already being conducted on the land and pioneers are already settling it.

2. We put our money where our mouth is, literally, regarding taking care of our people. We feed our Folk in South Africa. We have monthly food drives at each of our Hofs. We give away toys during the Yule tide. We have prison outreach. We have a robust Folk Services fund where we take care of our members when they fall on financial hard times. We provide baby blankets, handmade by our ladies, for each new baby born into the AFA.

3. We have developed our own homeschooling program, the Asatru Academy, which is currently enrolling grades K-3. We no longer have to subject our children to the degeneracy of public schooling: they can instead learn about OUR Gods, OUR culture, and OUR Heroes.

4. We have ordained Gothar, who attain that title after a robust training program, which one only attends after demonstrating leadership as a Folkbuilder.

5. We have an extensive, real-life community that spans the western world. Not a week goes by without AFA events happening, bringing real people together in real-life doing tangible things.

This only scratches the surface of what we are building and accomplishing. Get off the fence, join your Folk. Apply today. If you decide it isn't for you, that's fine (though I doubt you will). You owe it to yourself and to the rest of your Folk to at least give it a shot.

Wake early if you want another man's life or land.
No lamb for the lazy wolf.
No battle's won in bed.

We are not a people to sit back and pass blame. For eons, we've risen and taken what we need. We are conquerors. Times and ethics may have changed, the Faustian Spirit remains. Rise up or die off. The choice is yours.
