containing the best and most significant teachings, practices and
rituals of the Armanen masters Guido von List, F. B. Marby, R. J.
Gorsleben, S. A. Kummer and others, including material which has

First in the Woodharrow Bund's 3 part series, The Elder Trow Volume
I tackles the hard question of what has gone wrong in the
organization of modern heathen groups over the last 40+ years and
proposes ways in which modern heathen group structure can become
more traditional and authentic as well as more practical for modern
times. A survey of social and group models among the Norse,
Anglo-Saxons and Goths is given. Germanic re-tribalization, the
concept and understanding of tribalism, ancient Germanic sacral
kingship, military kingship, heathen priesthood, modern heathen
social structure and group organization, implementation of
traditional Germanic culture in modern heathenry, major issues that
hinder modern heathen groups, and how to live authentically as a
heathen in modern times, are discussed at length. The Woodharrow
Bund is a school dedicated to the promotion of authentic heathenry,
and which provides a model for heathenry that can be used by anyone
regardless of their specific group affiliations.
Gaut's Descendants: Gothic Religion and Culture in Germania
explores the religion and culture of the Goths and the Gothic
influence on other Germanic tribes. Some of the topics examined
include: the gods and goddesses of the Goths; the rituals and magic
of the Goths; Gaut, the founding father god of the Goths, his
surviving myths and his cult of sacral kingship; the various
influences that contributed to the synthesis of Gothic religion and
culture; the nature of Gothic Christianity and survivals of Gothic
heathenry in Christian times; how the Migration Age layer of
Germanic mythology differed from the more well-known Viking Age
layer of Germanic mythology; how the Goths contributed to Germanic
mystical and religious concepts preserved in the Eddas such as the
differences between the Aesir and Vanir gods; the substantial
influence of the Goths on the legend and poetry of the rest of the
Germanic world, especially in Viking Age Scandinavia and
Anglo-Saxon England.

English translation and original Old Norse text of the Voeluspa and
Havamal, the two most important poems of the Elder Edda. Aelfric
Avery presents a literal translation made by a heathen for
heathens, with the translation beside the original Old Norse text.
Avery's translation does not add or take away anything from the
original text, nor does it offer the assumptions, interpretations
and rationalizations that are found in other translations. The
purpose of this translation is for heathens to be able to
understand what the original text of these poems actually says and
to be able to read the text in Old Norse and know what it means.
Further, Old Norse words which do not translate well into Modern
English but which are central concepts in heathenry are explained
with notes in the Wordhoard. An Old Norse pronunciation guide is
also included.

Gothic Myths and Legends is a modern creative retelling of the
surviving ancient Gothic stories and histories as preserved in the
writings of ancient Roman historians and Norse sagas. These are
combined with some of the author's own narrative and poetry. The
stories have been thoughtfully woven together into one long tale of
the Gothic gods, kings and heroes. The story of the Goths is told
in two parts: the "Gude Spill" or Story of the Gods begins with the
creation of the world and the divine origins of the Goths, and the
"Amale Spill" or Story of the Amali line of Gothic kings, as well
as their Balthic, Longobardic and Anglo-Saxon descendants. Also
included is a commentary on the Gude Spill which explains how the
primary sources have been woven together, and an English
translation of "The Battle of the Goths and Huns" from the Hervarar
Saga.
Gutiska Hunslastaths Razda is a Gothic heathen liturgy in the
Wulfilan Gothic language with a modern English interlinear
translation which honours the gods and goddesses of the ancient
Goths. The liturgy consists of the ritual practices of modern-day
Gothic heathens which are based on what is known of the ancient
Germanic heathen rites.
