The Journal of Contemporary Heathen Thought, Vol. 1

The Journal of Contemporary Heathen Thought is a publication that seeks to foster the development and promulgation of philosophical inquiry and thought within the Heathen community. We hope to reach beyond the historical overviews, introductions, mythographical expositions, and presentations of practices and rituals that have comprised the bulk of specifically Heathen publications thus far. Our aim is to encourage the expansion of Heathen thought into the domains of theology, philosophy, sociology, psychology and other discplines that have yet to be thoroughly examined by Heathenry or any other form of European polytheism. We at The Journal of Contemporary Heathen Thought feel that it is high time serious inquiries move beyond the what and into the why of both the theory and practice of Heathenry. Volume one's contents include:

• Alain de Benoist's "Intolerance and Religion"
• Stephen M. Borthwick's "Hermann Awakened: Folkishness vs. Racism"

• Loddfafner's "When the Gods Speak Back: A Heathen Perspective on Gardening"
• Christopher A. Plaisance's "Why I am a Heathen"
• Steven Robinson's "Thoughts on Poetry"
• Kris Stevenson's "An Interpretation of Germanic Mythology"
• Hunter Yoder's "Magic Plants Used Symbolically in Germanic Heathen Hexology"
