THE WAY OF WOTAN'S WARRIOR From The Spear (and slightly condensed) - 1. LOVE. You must love your Folk. You also need to love those near to you, and you must love yourself. The strongest will learn to love their personal Destiny... 2. STRENGTH. You must be strong. There are many ways to be strong, in body and mind and spirit...You must be steel, not straw... 3. COURAGE. All of us know fear. Courage is the putting aside of that fear...Do right and fear no one... 4. JOY. The warrior is joyful in adversity... 5. HONOR. Right action produces honor...But honor is in the doing; it must be proven against adversity... 6. FREEDOM. You must have a passion for freedom...Freedom is not license; it is bound by law, and that law must be just and fair... 7. LOYALTY. Be true - to your Folk, family, clan, co-workers... 8. VIGOR. Have mental and physical energy. Be active. Do not be the one who looks away when it is time to accomplish some task... 9. GODS-TROTH. Be true to the Gods and Goddesses of our Folk. They are our Elder Kin. The Spear can be ordered from Lulu as an actual book or in PDF form, or you can order it directly from me at [email protected]. Signed copies of my earlier book, Asatru: A Native European Spirituality are also available along with other, smaller works; inquiries welcome.
