Author Description

Einherjar-Gnostic Warriors of the North: Way of the Einherjar, Vol. 1, presents an anthology of kindred discussions and practical application exercises which have been found profitable for practically applying, living, and managing one's Asatru journey and spiritual growth along the way. In this current work, the author begins by examining the validity, mission, and esoteric system of training outlined in Norse mythology for Odin's ancient secret society of shamanic knights-the Einherjar. Systematically, the book examines several basic and essential aspects of ancient psychological and metaphysical thought as a review of fundamental gnostic philosophy. From there a historical and theoretical backdrop for the Einherjar mythos itself is developed. "Literary symbols" within Norse mythology are considered which reveal not only an ancient Norse initiatory system of instruction, but its intended use and obligation as well. Finally, demonstrating its functionality and practical application even today, this perennial wisdom is presented as an aid for readers in the raising of their own levels of consciousness and the development of a more virtuous and noble character.
