Hiding out in the valley<\/strong><\/p>\n

Blogging has been a minimum lately. On Friday the 5th, I set off for three days in the San Luis Valley, winding up here<\/a>, where the sandhill cranes far outnumbered people, and where Jack the Chessie<\/a> got to make a couple of “hero dog” retrieves.<\/p>\n

Duck-blind reading during the slow mid-day hours included the second annual issue of Tyr<\/em> the journal of Northern Paganism, Nordic myth, and capital-T Tradition edited by Michael Moynihan and Joshua Buckley. This latest issues, which includes a CD sampler of revived Nordic folk and Pagan music, is available for US $22 from Ultra, P.O. Box 11736, Atlanta, Georgia 30355. (Make checks payable to Ultra.) I blogged the first issue here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Together with quite a wide range of book and music reviews, this issue includes an article by Stephen McNallen<\/a>, “Three Decades of the \u00c1satr\u00fa Revival in America,” and a long, interesting piece by Collin Cleary, “Summoning the Gods: The Phenomenology of Divine Presence,” plus numerous others. <\/p>\n

Stephen Edred Flowers, another important writer on Germanic religion, offers “The First Northern Renaissance: The Reawakening of the Germanic Spirit in the Sixteenth and Seventeenth Centuries in Germany, Sweden, and England.” <\/p>\n

Other writers include Julius Evola, Alain de Benoist, Charles Champetier, Michael Moynihan, Steve Pollington, Nigel Pennick, John Mathews, Christian R\u00e4tsch, Markuss Wolff, Peter Bahn, and Joscelyn Godwin<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
