Spring has sprung and Austra has blessed us all with her radiance!
One conceptualization of Austra that has always been powerful to me is her as a conquering goddess riding out of the east and her light steadily pushing back the darkness; the concept of that darkness fleeing before her and unable to stand against her might as the light overtakes the darkness.
Now is the time to internalize that concept and to allow divine light to purge the darkness from our minds and our souls. Spring-cleaning if you will.
We live in the age of "doom-scrolling" and the "black-pill." Many, if not all of us are bombarded daily with endless negativity and bad news. Our Folk care deeply about our world, about virtues, and about our future; this is a consequence of being awake and engaged. All too often we, as a Folk and as individuals, feel overwhelmed and this leads to lethargy and to being jaded and depressed. This is the darkness that must be banished by divine light!
We are blessed and we are fortunate! We have opportunities that so many around us don't. We are a part of something beautiful. We are part of something transformative. We are restoring Ásatrú. We are building the future.
Each Aryan man and woman reading this has the opportunity to make this world a better place and directly affect hundreds and indirectly affect thousands!
We are healing the soul of our race. This is a call to action for all the members of the AFA to get engaged. There are so many ways to help move the mission of the AFA forward and to help restore our Folk to health, nobility, and victory.
Participate in local gatherings of AFA members. Host gatherings if none are close by. Offer help and support to your AFA brothers and sisters who struggle. Donate funds to our hofs, to our Folk Services, to building the future. Donate your labor to the many projects that we are engaged in; be they physical at hofs or virtual with our tech-based initiatives. Spread the word of hope and victory to everyone you meet, help us bring our Folk home. Move yourself and your family closer to a hof or join us in Jackson County, Tennessee.
The world is beautiful, our future is beautiful. Hold your head up and take in the beauty, set your heart and hands toward victory and let's make the most of this glorious moment we share.
