Least you think I’m just talking about the neo-nazis currently trying to hijack the runes, I’m not.
#VALKNUT MEANING RACIST FULL#
It’s a beautiful image, in a film full of them, but eventually the credits roll and those of us who carry the Gods in our hearts have to emerge into the harsh daylight of a world where our symbols and beliefs are being manipulated and maligned in a way not seen since Heinrich Himmler defiled the swastika and Black Sun, filling them full of hate beyond repair. Damn scene gets me every time, for many reasons, one of which is that it illustrates that it is what is in the heart that makes one Asatru (which literally means true to the Germanic-Norse Gods) not where one’s genetics are from. Heimdall is talking to Thor, and as the camera pans over a multi-racial group of Asgardian survivors, Heimdall declares “Asgard is not a place, it’s a people,” implying that the way of the Aesir will live on after Ragnarok in the hearts of all true folk who carry the gods with them, wherever they may roam. Hela is in the process of destroying Asgard and Heimdall, played by Idris Elba, is leading the remaining inhabitants, who are hunkered down in a cave, to safety. There is a scene in Marvel’s “Thor: Ragnarok” that gives me all the feels. – Kveldulf Hagan Gundarsson, Our Troth, Volume 1 Anyone who doubts this only has to try picturing a free-minded Viking or Germanic tribesman accepting the suggestion that he be shorn like a thrall and made to wear a uniform and march in step, obedient to the last words of his leader – or a woman such as Signy the Volsung, Sigridr the Proud, Unnr the Deep-Minded, or Freydis Eiriksdottir listening meekly to the news that her sole purpose for being is to bear strong sons for “the race”! During the Nazi era, Germanic religion and history were, in short, simply treated like any other propaganda tool, with complete disregard for the actual beliefs of the heathen Teutons, the god/desses in who they believed, and the actual underpinnings of the Northern culture.
