  1. I agree with everything said, with one exception. The idea of anyone, including those not of Norse (or related) descent participating in the Norse religion or community. Although this seems ok at first, even supportive, in the end, it will be the seeds of our destruction. Eventually, those not of Norse descent will start to feel like outsiders. They will try to find a way to be accepted will will include one of two things (or both). They will either rewrite history by insisting that the Norse were "inclusive" of all races and that every race were Vikings. OR, if they're not successful with that rewriting of history, they'll just try to take away YOUR identity by claiming the Norse never existed, etc. This is exactly what Bjorn is describing. This exact thing happended recently with the Anglsosaxonists. It's vice president was a black woman who, after participating in the society for so long, eventually started to feel excluded due to her race and not being of anglo saxon descent. The society is now called the society for the study of medieval history.
