I will have a section in my book about monotheism. The first chapters will explain why universalism (the belief that the world must live under a single worldview) makes monotheism violent against polytheist religions. The second part of this section will be India Under Siege. The idea behind this is in 40 years there is a very good chance Europe with be Islamic and huge sections of North America, Australia, etc. will be Islamic too. India is a great example of what the West will look like in the coming years: endless bombings of non-Muslims, rapes, murder, stealing of land, oppression, the Left uniting with Islam to crush everyone else, etc. India, also, has the problem of creeping Christianity, Communism, International Capitalism, Political Correctness from secular Indians aiding the enemies of Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism, Sikhism, and other Folkish religions. By Folkish, I mean religions that grew naturally out of the people in certain part of the earth, as opposed to universal religions and political movements that are just fronts for imperialism and world domination. How do Hindus and others deal with being under siege by universalists: Christians, Capitalists, Muslims, Communists, etc?
Basically, I am looking for Hindus and others, who can write in English, short histories of the invasion of India, Nepal, etc. by Christians, Muslims, Maoists, and other forms of universalism, as well as first accounts of the troubles today.
On the troubles:
1. What are Christians doing in India? How did they get there? What kind of harm has Christianity done to India? Who is funding them? What kind of tricks do they use to convert Indians to Christianity. Are Christian charities just a front for converting Indians to Christianity? Why does India need the anti-Conversion Laws? Who were the heroes who stood up against the Christians? Who is standing up against the Christians today? How did British Christians empower Muslims in India?
2. What is the history of the Islamic-Hindu wars? Who were the Hindu and other heroes that fought Islam? Who is standing up against the Muslims today? What are Muslims doing in India? How did they get there? What kind of harm has Islam done to India? Who is funding them? What kind of tricks do they use to convert Indians to Islam. Are Islamic charities just a front for converting Indians to Islam? What is the Islamic mafia and how does it work with Islamic bankers to take land away from Hindus and others?
3. What happened in Kashmir? How violent were the Muslims? How did they get so powerful there? How many people did they murder? What types of things did they do to Hindus and others?
4. What can Hindus and others do to defend themselves against monotheists?
What I want is an overview of the problems of India. How it happened? What is happening? And what to do about it?
I was thinking of giving the problems of India about 10,000 words in the book, which I am hoping to be under 100,000 words.
I would love to find 40 or so Hindus, Buddhists, Jainists, Sikhs, and others who could write short pieces about history, current affairs, and personal experiences.
I know many of you live in very dangerous areas. It’s safer for you to send me a Personal Message through Facebook or Youtube, than to post something public.

Ten Differences Between Odinism and Asatru by Wyatt Kaldenberg
Ten Differences Between Odinism and Asatru by Wyatt Kaldenberg
Many people new to Heathenism have asked me what’s the difference between Odinism and Asatru. Many people think the words are interchangeable. They are not.
First, there are many more difference between Odinism and Asatru than just ten, but top ten lists are very popular today. I could have written 100 difference, but I want to get this list out before next year. Also, I don’t mean this as a put down of Asatru in anyway. This is just to show folks a few of the differences between these two religions.
To really get a clear picture, read Sigi Harrbard’s book, The New Odinism, 1982, published by Asgard Press, or Odinism: Past, Present, and Future by Osred, 2010, published by LuLu, and compare these two books to anything that the Troth has publish and you will see the differences between Odinism and Asatru.
First, Asatru and Odinism seem to be the same thing to outsiders just as Christianity and Islam seem to be the same religion to many Heathens. But people on the inside see great differences. Here are ten differences I will just pull off the top of my head. I have no idea what the ten will be. They will be in no order I am guessing, but who knows. They will be merely the first ten differences to come to mind. Some really big differences may not make my top ten list. Well, here are ten differences between Odinism and Asatru.
1. Modernism vs. reconstructionism. Asatru and other sects of Heathendom wish to reconstruct the old Heathen religion, so they can practice it like our ancestors did and bring it into the modern world by studying the Eddas, Sagas, folklore, and books on Norse Myths. Odinists believe that the past is a good place to do research, but Odinism is a religion of the here and now. We do not put as much importance in studying and reconstructing the past. The Gods are living being that are alive today. We can contact the Gods here today, so if we can contact our Gods directly and find out from them what they want today; how is studying books on myths more important than direct contact? So, studying the Vikings, Goths, etc. is more important to Asatru people than to Odinists, albeit Odinists read the Eddas and Sagas too. The Eddas and Sagas are not a Heathen Bible as some Asatru people think. They were written by Christians, not Heathens. This point was too long. The rest should be shorter I hope.
2. Asatru people often dress up like Vikings, Saxons etc. and learn dead languages. They try to make blottir look like something out of the middle ages. Odinists do blottir in modern dress and speak modern languages to the Gods. The Gods are Gods. They are smart enough to learn a new language.
3. Asatru is a catch all. Asatru can mean anything from a front to a homosexual pedophile sports club like Stephen Cox and the creepy Jarls of Balder tried to set up in the U.K. to new age Wiccan hippies in the Troth, practicing witchcraft to Neo-Nazis, goose-stepping in the showers of Pelican Bay prison. Asatru means too much to too many people to really mean anything. It is a catch-all word. Odinism, like Theodism, means something very defined. Odinism doesn’t mean everything in Heathendom.
4. Our relations with the Gods. Odinists put extreme importance on the God Odin and his wife Frigga. Asatru people put a lot less importance on Odin and Frigga.
5. Odinists believe Odin is the ultimate Godhead. Asatru people do not. Sigi Harrbard said in his book that all the Gods and Goddesses of the Folk are really just masks of Odin. Odinism can sound like monotheism, but it mostly is not. I don’t believe that, but I believe everything serves Odin and Frigga. Most Asatru either don’t believe this or believe it to a much lesser degree.
6. Odinism believes the Gods are living being that can be contacted here and now. Personal relationship with the Gods is more important than studying books. Odinists believe Odin is the God-King of our Folk. He always was and always will be King. Odin was the Alfather over 100 billion zillion big bangs and multi-verse creations and deaths before the big bang that created our own multi-verse, as well as, Odin will be the Alfather of every new multi-verse created and destroyed after ours ends: on to a billion eternities. Asatru people don’t believe this. Some Asatru people believe this atheist crap that some non-Heathen mythologist created without any proof that Tyr was the first Alfather. If this was true, it would mean the entire Heathen faith was untrue and nothing more than a collection of myths and folklore as some in Asatru teach. Odinism is a religion, not a study of Norse mythology. Odin is God eternal.
7. Folk, race, and politics. Asatru people debate Folkish Vs Universal. I have been an Odinist since 1978. I never met one single Odinist who was a universalist. All Odinists believe Odinism is not for export and is a uniquely Caucasian religion.
8. Odinism is like Islam; it is a total worldview. Odinism is a religious, spiritual, economic, social, and political movement, and Asatru is just a religion.
9. Odinism is not a hyper-ethnic centered religion of people of Germanic, Norse, Saxon, etc. ancestry as some see Asatru. Many Asatru people think Asatru is just for Germanic people. Odinism treats Norse, Germanics, Slavs, Basques, Celts, Baltics, Balkans, Greeks, Spaniards, Russians, etc. as all Children of Odin. Odinism is the religion of the Greater Northern Folk. Most Odinists see Odinsim as a Nation of Islam for White people. Odinism is a religion to bring our people together, but to divide them.
10. Odinists believe in the fall of the West and most pray for it. Once the West falls, the Gods can return and we can rebuild our homeland anew. Most Asatru people don’t believe in the fall and rebirth of the West. Oh, that’s ten differences. Time to go.
Many people new to Heathenism have asked me what’s the difference between Odinism and Asatru. Many people think the words are interchangeable. They are not.
First, there are many more difference between Odinism and Asatru than just ten, but top ten lists are very popular today.
