You are very wise, I have no doubt you will recover from this better than before. Now people will see the differance between a True Heathen, and political bull,...!!!
cont .... Rather they depend on character assassination and abrogation of rights to rid themselves of the "troublemakers" who value honour above power.
I'm glad to see that you have soldiered on. I wish I had your strength, but I no longer have the will.
Good fortune, Dan. I would wish the Gods smile upon you, but I know they already do.
How very familiar this all sounds to me Dan, my friend. It seems that the power hungry will always attempt to get control of things they haven't worked for, from the people who only sought to serve.
Apparently you and I both made the mistake of believing that bylaws and honour would protect us. Unfortunately, what you and I have both learned that the corrupt and power hungry don't abide by the rules they insist on in the people they wish to control. ...cont
Lies and false accusations are unfortunately far to common in the Heathen community. Especially when you say something that is not PC just as you did in Shield-Wall Against Hate.
Rumours and false accusations are all to common in the Heathen community. Especially when you make strong statements which are not PC like you did in the Shield-Wall Against Hate video.
Here in Germany, of course, I didn't notice the troubles you had to face. So I cannot assess, or overview, what happend in the AFA.
But since I know your Youtube-account, you gave me the possebility to get an authentic overview over the way of practice Asatru, the religion of our ancestors, out of Europe. Although I don't know you, I want to thank you. Especially the Videos "Shieldwall against Hate" and "Yuletide Ritual" were absolutely fabulous. I hope, you can work further on.
Wassail! Thanks for the kind words from Germany. I am not involved in the AFA, I should point out, but rather founded both of Canada's only hone-grown Heathen organizastions, the Heathen Freehold in 2002 and the Fridhgard Fellowship in 2009.
Suffice it to say that it was my introduction to the ruthless world of politics. People will lie their faces off when it gives them am advantage. It is shameful.
So...are you going to have to re-create your videos all over again, like the ones on ond and whatnot? Seems a shame, yet they were so much more informative than 99.9999999% of the Heathen videos out there which just consist of speed metal music and pictures of Vikings bashing everything in sight, which presents a very one-sided view of Heathenry.
Stir up a hornets nest and you get stung, why whine? I was bond to happen, strive to be non political otherwise this kind of thing happens. Except all sides for what they are, and move forward. Pettiness breeds harshness, it's possible for both the left and the right to work together, most already do.
Hail to DanoftheHammer! It is of great disappointment to see what has happened. I am new to being a Heathen and your videos on the freehold opened my window to my Nordic Ancestors. Please stand strong and continue to use your "High Godhi" to in lighten those who seek there Nordic Ancestors religion. I feel Dan Miller of the: "National Heathen Freehold" ? Bring Back some of the Videos, I feel like my School just closed on me and I dont know were to turn? Signed: Garis of "RavenBear Kindred"
Very good Dan, really I commend you on your lies. Know why dont you tell very one about how for the last two months or so you have been slandering the current Witan of the freehold? or how you resigned? or how you still owe me 1200$? The warriors guild of the freehold did not take over you left.
You are the liar, sir, on many fronts, but specifically regarding the money you spent without my permission or authorization! With gifts like that, who needs enemies?
I cannot slander you with the truth, dude, get a lawyer instead of whining.
I never "left". I was removed in a secret trial.
What planet are you living on. You need to go back to Freya to ask her what she really meant by saving your life.
I think your innocent you have been nothing but true and you just being on from what I see of your videos. I hope you don't stop making videos logs even if it isn't with FreeHold who cares Beside I tuned into the freehold to hear you and what you have to say about our faith and what it brings in your life I can care less about the nonsense and lies people say about you they obviously have no honor and are no true Asatruer and in the end Tyr will judge them.
Well Dan, good that things are moving in a positive direction. In truth, I feel I must apologize, as I feel I removed my support from you in a time it was needed, as a deleted my posts on your video addressing the freehold after hearing the remarks of Mairner. In a way, I still stand by this decisions, though, as I though it would be best to not involve my opinions in an issue I was not directly a part of.
It seems though, that the phrase "Beserkers are really cool....over there" stands true.
By hearing the remarks of Mainer, you you mean that video "The Real Story..." they sent out just before they got the account suspended?
I never did see that. I'd love to see it, as they never, as usual, sent it to me directly.
They obviously have no knowledge of either ancient Germanic tribal law, nor modern Canadian law and are simply playing some kind of quiet propaganda war for their own aggrandizement. Nothing else explains their disregard for the law...
Indeed, that was the one. One of the funny things about it, they never spoke on the video-it was just red text. Gave a sense of a lack of credibility and/or authority because of it, in my own eyes.
I am not sure what to think of this, I am not accustomed to pagan drama on this side of the pond, it saddens me that this have happened; in the places if any where I have hope that the spirits of my ancestors will linger, when or if it is forgotten (or suppressed by force) in these lands.
I have read alot on this subject to date and it all seems a little surreal, I do admit laughing my ass of when seeing the whole "oathbreaker" ban. Cursing someone(you) feels so terribly childish and petty.
if you dont like the way the freehold was being run start your own if you have an online area post it ill gladly join and ill let some of the kindreds im friendly with know about it
