This channel is mostly used for information videos about Forn Sed, which includes Modern Asatru and Scandinavian Folklore. I am a member of Sveriges Asatrosamfund (litt. "Sweden's Asatru Community"), that is an anti-racist body which is based on the foundation of common democratic principles. We also declare that all racists are "níðingar" (i.e. traitors, criminals).

Note that the opinions I express are first of all my own interpretations of the subjects. When it comes to my favourites and playlists theese includes some opinions that I don't agree with, but I find them interesting to understand all the variants of Germanic Paganism.

The oldest videos (filmed before July 2008) have been filmed just using my cellphone, so the quality is not that good. But the newer videos are filmed using a digital camera, so the quality is much better.

I also have other channels. AchirdArkeo shows videos of ancient sites in Scandinavia, and AchirdFolkmusik shows videos with folk music.

Hei Gunnar!

Kunne du laget en video om Åsatru og homofili? Personlig har jeg ikke noe problem med det, selvom jeg er en infamous kvinneelsker :)!

Thank you for creating this channel! I am from the US; However, my family is Norwegian. I am extremely interested in learning about anything remotely related to Norwegian heritage. My family hasn't really taught me anything about it, but I wanted you to know that I am extremely grateful for this channel :P You are an amazing teacher.

Till skillnad från en massa nazister med förföljelsemani så oroar jag mig inte för muslimska invandrare.
