Gives an interesting perspective on the "Radical Traditionalist" roots of one of the controversial political/religious groups known as Asatru, National Socialism. I got it because there was interested in traditional Baltic cultural ceremonies that are losing steam due to the reduction in population of this isolated ethnic group. Generally it was interesting, but I have too much criticism for A. Organized religion in any form, from Asatru to Christianity and B. the ultimately positive outlook on life, the idea of finding hope in a hopeless world through resurrecting dead religious practices of cultures long since ground to dust in the gears of the Industrial Revolution. If you read this and find that I may have ,misinterpreted some aspect of what I read, or perhaps you had a different conclusion drawn from reading the same material, please feel free to contact me. I merely seek to more thoroughly understand the philosophical roots.

This was great clear across the board. TYR keeps improving in quality and range of content with each volume. A must for anyone interested in recent thought on radical traditionalism.

Another collection of thoughtful and informative essays and reviews. The extended analysis of Baltic traditions was particularly excellent.
