The ARC identify as Odinists. Odin was the chiefest amongst the Gods and was primarily concerned with warfare, getting ready for Ragnarok, magic and secrecy. We are willing to discuss all of the Gods and prefer that amongst ourselves that we keep religious discussion civil and in whispered voices.
The ARC espouses an embracing of the worlds (we believe in nine worlds), and their cultures. Historically the Nordic peoples traded and raided all over the known world (Midgaard) and ventured into the unknown world as well. A wide selection of trading partners, foods, medicines and knowledge isn't built from being too xenophobic in one's associations or insular in one's community choices. The world is a big place and we take a pragmatic view about it. We welcome almost all people and I solely reserve the right to refuse to grant you fellowship if you turn out to be a giant flying asshole.
Stay up-to-date on upcoming events, including seminars, workshops, and spiritual retreats. Sign up for our newsletter and, hopefully, support our organization with a donation.
ARC operates a library for its members including a well stocked law library. We have books on all kinds of religious topics, books on history, lots of books on rune casting and Nordic sagas. We also have gaming material including D&D, Shadowrun, and Harn-World with a focus on Viking style role playing . We believe that the power of imagination is supreme in all of the worlds and we foster gaming nerds every chance we get, it binds groups, builds friendships, and opens minds.
