John YEOWELL "Odinism and
Christianity under the 3rd Reich" editions AVATAR, Nantes, 2006
Despite the bibliographic
reference above, the first French edition of this book dates from
1998 and it was surely made by the publisher himself since on page 11
he removes the mask by writing "Note from the editor and
translator" . Yeowell (born in 1918 - died in 2010) was British
and it is not without reason that his excellent work is sold out
today. "In fact, if we think of the Inquisition and the pogroms
so often aroused by the Orthodox clergy or by (Martin) Luther in his
influential diatribe entitled" Jews and their lies ",
hatred of Jews appears academic in all main branches of Christianity
and provides the Nazis with a historical precedent and moral support
for their own anti-Semitism "(op.cit.pp.46-47). Yet on a page
before this one we can read: "So the question of anti-Semitism
does not arise in the historical question of Odinism whereas under
the Roman emperors peasants it was granted to Judaism the same degree
of tolerance that 'to other subjects' (op.cit.p.45). Yeowell was the
creator of the "Odinic Rite" which also exists in France
today. "The swastika against the Irminsul" would be the
alterative title of this extremely rare book. As we all know,
Irminsul would be the tree of war among the Norse (the ancient
Norwegians). "The tree of life" would not be the opposite
of the war tree since Odinism "insists on the symbolism of the
tree of life / cosmic axis Irminsul or Yggdrasill" (op.cit.p.89)
. But to make you want to find and read this book, which has been out
of print for a long time, we are going to quote a new definition of
the term Wotan by the late David Lane, our American comrade: "Will
Of The Aryan Nation", read only the initials. Wotan was the same
God as our Odin! We will thus try to bring the old Wotanist cult
closer to the present day by copying this sentence from another
excellent but still available book: "David Lane deepens his
studies of history, religion, philosophy and odinism by finally
maturing a racial conception of the ancient Nordic cult as a pivot of
a new spiritual dimension of the white race "(in" As Wolves
Among Sheeps "by Max Ribaric and Davide Maspero, Camion Noir
editions, 2014, p.724).
