The Odin Brotherhood - Paperback

by Mark Mirabello (Author)

'When the world is pregnant with lies, a secret long hidden will be revealed.'- An Odinist Prophecy Just like the Cannibal Within, a chance encounter, although this time in the famous Atlantis bookshop, blossomed into a dialogue between the author and the anonymous adept of Odin. Called an "occult religion" for adepts, a "creed of iron" for warriors, and a "secret society" for higher men and women who value "knowledge, freedom and power," the Odin Brotherhood honors the gods and goddesses of the Norse pantheon. This non-fiction book details the legends, the rituals, and the Mysteries of an ancient and enigmatic movement.
