Abducted by Aliens
[...] The aliens in the legends that follow are not those from outer space,
but rather underground people from our own earth: fairies, trolls, elves,
and the like. [...]

The King of Vinland's Saga
Stuart W. Mirsky
Xlibris, 637 pages
[...] The idea of a narrative of 11th or 12th century Europeans interacting
with the Native Americans of their time, isn't all that new. The poet
Robert Southey's 1805 epic poem Madoc tells the story of a Welsh prince
forced to flee the political situation in his homeland and lose his claims
to land and power. According to legend he crossed the Atlantic, landing in
the region of current day Mobile, Alabama. Southey extends the story to
Madoc's involvement in Aztec politics and warfaring.

Mirsky's story is similar in that Sigtrygg Thorgilsson, the illegitimate
grandson of Leif Eiriksson, is denied his birthright by his grandfather's
descendants. When they renege on a promise to cede to him Leif's claims in
Vinland and furnish him with a boat to reach there, in exchange for his
land claims in Greenland, Sigtrygg and the small group he has gathered
around him take the boat by force and leave for Vinland. There they meet
the Skraelings (or natives) and help one tribe throw off the yoke of a
native tyrant. Returning to their claims with native wives they find that a
group of Greenlanders have arrived and taken over the claim. Peaceful
co-existence is impossible, and a back-and-forth slaughter occurs, until
the defeated Skraeling leader returns in a punitive expedition from which
few will survive.

Besides the heroic leader Sigtrygg, the huge berserker Arnliot Keelfoot
with his cursed axe (a character in many ways reminiscent of Haggard's
great Zulu warrior, Umslopogaas), Vragi the quiet and retiring old veteran
who hasn't forgotten his old skills with a sword, Girstein, the most
reasonable and supportive of Sygtrygg's step family, and Thjodhild the
vindictive and jealous kinswoman, the book is peopled with many complex and
interesting characters. The fight sequences, be they between Greenlander
and skraeling or amongst the Greenlanders themselves are excellently
portrayed, on par with any of Mirsky's literary precursors, and consistent
with original saga accounts of such things.

So don't be afraid that just because The King of Vinland's Saga is a
self-published book it won't live up to something published by one of the
major publishers. This is one to please even the likes of Snorri Sturluson,
and it even passed my "keep me up reading until 3 a.m. test." [...]

Welcome Comrade!
After a regrettably long period of inactivity, the Vinlandic Heathen Front
web site is active once again. Over the past months some significant
changes have unfolded within our ranks. The VLHF has had to reorganize its
inner structure and virtually begin anew. We apologize to those who have
been disappointed with the lack of updates and overall mediocrity of the
past site.
For those of you visiting us for the first time, you will find that surfing
this site as well as visiting our main domain (heathenfront.org) will offer
a lot of insight into our view of life.
The Vinlandic Heathen Front exists, quite simply, to present a viable
alternative to the secularism and materialism of the decadent modern world.
This alternative is neither purely political nor spiritual but an
inseparable synthesis thereof. We seek a complete reconnection to our
natural pattern of life on every level of existence. This is not merely an
intellectual or physical endeavour but rather a process of collective
spiritual ascendancy that must begin with the self-mastery of individual
comrades.
Though we are a Germanocentric order, we welcome all like-minded
individuals of wholly European descent who reflect intelligence and
character. If you would like to join us in our struggle or simply want to
learn more about our perspective, please e-mail or write to the
geographically appropriate representative as listed on our membership page.
