+ | Odinism is a form of norse paganism, like Asatru. Odinism, in contrast to Asatru, is a henotheistic religion which centrally emphasizes the worship of Odin, and to a lesser extent Frigga, and calls Odin the 'allfather'. Also in contrast to Asatru, Odinism does not emphasize the viking age or the old norse language. | ||

+ | Odinism was founded by Alexander Rud Mills in Melbourne, Australia, in 1936, as 'The Anglecyn Church of Odin'. The Anglecyn Church of Odin was a syncretic mixture of Anglican Christianity and norse paganism. Odinism later shed it's syncretic anglican elements. Mills was a nazi sympathizer, and to this day many Odinists are white nationalists. |
