Hávamál 38: Away from his arms in the open field a Man should fare not a foot, for he never knows when the need for a spear shall arise on the distant road.

All Northmen have the right and duty to bear arms.

An unarmed man is at the mercy of others, thus he becomes their slave.

A free man, armed, is not at the mercy of his countrymen, criminals, his govern…

We are opening a Hof in Norway dedicated to selected Forn Siðr members. More information at https://www.ulfahof.no.

Upon original pre-release, STJARNA work was supposed to be a single volume of 258 pages (like all previous books, including each installment of the Úlfheimr trilogy, as well as Torfœrit). It was also supposed to be a limited edition of 300 copies.

However, various considerations have led to the work becoming far more extensive, namely 1,000 pages (10K). The limited edition has also been restricted to 117 copies (plus 3 for the National Library of Norway).

This dramatically increased printing costs whether it is a very large single book, or multiple volumes (all to be released at once). It is also unthinkable to print books offshore to reduce costs, and printing books with European materials in Norway and having them hand bound in Norway has a cost…

Hardcover Version

As a result, cost of updated work has increased to 10,000 kr.

For those who have already pre-ordered smaller/more limited first version of book, the upgrade cost is reduced to 4,000 kr (a saving of 4,000 kr) for a limited time. Prior to release, the upgrade cost will then be reduced to 6,000 kr. Upon release, the upgrade cost will be 8,000 kr.

You can upgrade at https://www.ulfheimr.no/trade/p/stjarna-star-raiders-upgrade.

Electronic Version

The cost electronic version, which doesn’t cost us significantly more to produce, has as a result only increased by 250 kr, to 750 kr for pre-orders and 1,000 kr after release.

This makes the work accessible to all who want it but don’t necessarily have the funds to acquire a highly exclusive limited version produced in the homeland and cradle of our species.

Contractual agreement

We understand a contract was entered with those who pre-ordered first smaller/limited version of the work. We will also be working on a solution for those unwilling to upgrade to the new, larger and more extensive version.

Earlier today, one of my fellow Marines started playing the Ymir track by Danheim & Gealdýr on his Bang & Olufsen Danish-made portable speaker. He missed Norway, now his home, and needed a reminder of his roots in the absolute foreign culture Japan is. Within a minute of the opening lyrics - in Old Norse - playing, the two dozen pups (toddlers) with us …

Freedom of Choice In Norse Culture

The body, spirit, and soul of a man are sacred and under his sole and exclusive control as well as jurisdiction. Freedom of choice with respect to a man’s body is an irrevocable aspect of his masculinity, warrior ethos, and innate natural evolutionary freedom further secured over the millennia by the sacrifice of his ancestors. Violation of a man's body by any mean is an egregious and intolerable assault to his dignity and very existence as a man. It is also undeniable gross emasculation as well as a loss of status and standing as a free man.

Sacred Body in Norse Culture

Jǫtnar created men as sacred beings also physically, mentally and spiritually naturally resilient to environmental factors and threats. Such natural strength and resilience, including to diseases and various environmental stresses, is linked to a man’s physical, mental, and spiritual fitness, and thus, part of a man’s traditional core identity as well as fundamental evolutionary traits and characteristics critical to species survival. In keeping with this historic, cultural, spiritual and irrevocable doctrine, any interference with a man’s body and mind - including but not limited to medical treatments or procedures a man would elect to accept as his sole informed prerogative free of coercion - shall remain natural and shall follow the laws of nature. This specifically excludes gene therapy (including but not limited to RNA messenger vaccines), specifically excludes animal-based treatments (including but not limited to adenovirus vector vaccines), specifically excludes human-based treatments (including but not limited to certain vaccines that contain fetal and other human tissues, but excluding expressly consensual organ transplants), specifically excludes artificial performance enhancement treatments (including but not limited to steroids or hormonal treatments in the presence of two functional testes), specifically excludes robotic, electronic or otherwise artificial procedures and interventions (including but not limited to microchips or other electronic implants and interfaces), and specifically excludes organ, thoughts and knowledge harvesting or exploitation, as well as collection or exploitation - directly or indirectly - of semen, DNA, blood, or any other physical, mental, or spiritual element.

Natural and Ethical

Men are sacred beings created in accordance with the laws of nature and intended to live in symbiosis with their environment. The food we consume shall therefore be evolutionarily adequate, and more specifically, natural as well as ethically harvested. Always with respect for, and in balance with, our habitat. This insures the preservation of our integrity as beings, as well as that of Miðgarðr as our home.

Consequently, our food shall be completely natural. Free of genetically modified organisms (such as GMO’s), free of chemicals (such as Glyphosate or 3-nitrooxypropanol), free of artificial substances (such as synthetic rennet), free of preventive medical treatments (such as antibiotics), free of gene therapy (such as mRNA or Adenovirus vaccines), and free of industrial processing.

Furthermore, the animals we harvest or raise shall be treated with care and respect. By remaining free range and allowed to roam. By being provided with clean and adequate shelter. By being fed a completely natural diet consistent with their evolutionary needs. By being killed, when applicable, humanely and with minimal stress and suffering (and thus, expressly excluding Halal processes).

Connection with our Ancestors

Eating naturally and consistently with our evolutionary and traditional needs, as we have since times immemorial, further keeps us connected to our ancestors and our culture.

Bodily Autonomy

Our food choices are our sole and exclusive prerogative, consistent with our innate freedoms and spiritual beliefs, including as they relate to our body autonomy.

THE ORIGINAL LOGO

Those who have been with us for a while know that the original Forn Siðr logo was a ship with two Norsemen, inspired from original rock carvings in Alta, Norway, from around 4,200 BCE. The new logo later becoming an emphasis on one of these two Norsemen, including a quite prominent Göndull not otherwise visible on original logo.

SO, WHAT HAPPENED?

In the original logo, the Norseman at the back is in his full glory. The Norseman at the front is not. The perverts will be quick to assert that the warrior at the back got a little too excited looking at his bro’s behind. This is however nonsense. The warrior at the back is (allegedly) straight. He simply is very happy to be going on a raid. As simple as that.

As a matter of fact, the Norseman at the front was just about to be aroused as well, at the prospect of pillaging, raping, and killing morons in far away lands. Then tragedy struck. The fact that his göndull was not apparent, unlike his bro, led Asatru members at large to assume he was in fact a shield maiden. A fierce, empowered, strong woman and warrior.

Our English speaking members, particularly those in Canada, the United Kingdom and even America, will certainly understand the trauma of being misgendered. The thought of being seen as a woman caused our Norseman PTSD. However, upon reaching the shore of a yet unknown land, and imagining a blood bath proper, he started getting hard again. Thank the gods! However, tragedy struck again.

This time around, our warrior was exposed, unwillingly, to the board members of “Forn Sidr of America (FSOA)”, when we ended up in a lawsuit with the radical left extremists over their illegal use of our name. This resulted for him in an immediate loss of any potential sexual arousal. He had indeed never seen such vile, homely, repulsive, and ultimately completely undickable hoes of all genders.

RETURN TO FULL GLORY

It wasn’t too long, however, until FSOA got absolutely humiliated in U.S. courts, losing the lawsuit (see "Forn Sidr of America": We Won.) Balance was then returned to the world of men, and our warrior immediately experienced, as a result, the most epic display of Óðr ever, returning to his long awaited full glory. With our logo being immediately updated accordingly, naturally.

THE NEW LOGO

In celebration of our court success in the United States, to streamline our logo for better use on various supports, and in honor of warriors, inherently men, past, present and future, as well as in yet another marked departure from the stigmatization of manhood by desert cults, including Asatru spin offs, we then decided to emphasize on the warrior at the front of the ship. Our new logo featured that Norseman, his axe to split skulls, his spear to impale morons, and, naturally, his göndull in full glory as celebration of us men, as well as the essence of life too.

PATCHES AND THINGS

It is worth noting as well that, unlike the legacy logo, the new Forn Siðr logo is suitable for combat patches, including IR (Infrared) on a variety of backgrounds, including all multicam variations.

"Brevity is the soul of wit".

Unlike academics, who explain things with as much words and jargon as possible, we Norse explain things laconically (Spartan-like: short and to the point). Very laconically, to the point we say many things at once. 

Unlike academic papers then, where you have to skim through to find anything useful, you must pay close attenti…
