Comercialism

It's no wonder that Asatru has such a hard time growing to its inevitable place in Midgard. Most of "our" people have sold out to the almighty dollar. Even the infamous Edred and his so-called rune guild or wood harrow or what ever it is, has even let down our kinsmen that are behind bars, they send money for books to increase their knowledge and wisdom and what do they get?  At least an extremely long wait, if they get anything at all...Go to the Rune Guild website and you'll find people who are so concerned about the future of our Gods, Goddesses, Ancestors, Kinsmen and "The Mysteries" that they haven't even updated their website in what looks like several years! What mystery is that about? The mystery of complacency? The mystery of dedication? The mystery of ...You tell me. I'm not an idiot, and I realize that everyone needs money to survive whether you're an organization or an individual you can't get by with out some kind of income. However, neither can you sell out your self and your beliefs and your people just to serve your greedy nature. Sure I'd like to make money doing what I'm doing and I may at some point because people have already made it plain that they would like nothing more than to see me write books on our belief system but I still sit here in my humble little abode and for no monetary gain I plug away about our Gods and Goddesses, ancestors, kinfolk and heritage on MySpace, FaceBook, Twitter, Tumblr, and here on Blogspot just to answer questions and write about things that people need to know and should know, FOR FREE! Yes I don't charge anybody and in time I'll probably open up so those who can may make free-will donations, and I'll have to charge a fair price for any future book that I may write, but I will continue to spread the word for free on the internet and maybe eventually a newsletter or something but please, what ever you do out there, Don't Neglect Your Gods and Goddesses, your Ancestors, your Heritage or your kinfolk or yourself. And no matter how trivial your subject may seem, please post any thoughts or questions, complaints or whatever you want anywhere The Brotherhood of Magni, Olaf Odinsson, Olaf The Godi, or Magnis Godi can be found. And always remember: If something is bothering you, it's probably bothering somebody else somewhere too, and if someone doesn't bring it up it not only prevents you from accomplishing what you need to accomplish, But, it keeps other like-minded individuals from learning or accomplishing things too. Hail The Gods and Goddesses, the Ancestors and the Kinfolk...~Olaf
