Hey, i was wondering if there was any videos on Odinism or anything linked to it? like a torrent/link would do :) . If not what would you recomend reading for a newbie odinist wannabe? lol :p

And there is a "Suggested Reading" thread in Viking Literature, check that out.

Then you should change that. Dont be lazy and expect videos when there are tons of great books out there to read.

davemint, there is a great web radio program Odin Lives. You can listen to them online.

Here is the archive page where a load of programs are available

But what Hveðrungr said is correct, of course: it's not enough just to listen, you should study as well :)

How do you two expect to learn anything about our ways if you wont even read the Eddas or the Sagas? Reading is a big part of learning, especially in our folkway.

for videos, I think the there are a couple on the AFA website that you can purchase.

As for reading, I am an avid reader, but after a while, the Eddas and Sagas make my head hurt. These are defenitely not lying in bed or sitting for hours kinds of books. Educationaly speaking, 15 min to 1 hr is optimal studying time for a subject, the closer to 15 the better. I personal prefer to spend 1/2 hr studying with my highlighter and a pad and paper. 1/2 hr every other day or so. I also have the luxury of being able to read on 3rd shift, while the inmates are sleeping.

As a side thought. At least you know that you don't have the patience, now is the chance to improve that, just don't overdo it and burn out. At least thats my take on it.

In Frith,

Ryan

There are two videos put out by the Asatru Folk Assembly on this page. I have not seen them so I cannot comment on quality.
