The ancient mysteries of Yosemite, vibrant California Asatru & Heathen communities and the Sierra Nevada's 1800s Steampunk Airships all seem to make it into our discussion tonight. What happens when gothic southern Appalachia meets the zeitgeist of the cowboy ghost towns in North California? Deep South Folk interviews ACN's founder, John and get's his perspective on the evolution of Germanic spirituality in the Burning West. John discusses the importance of Asatru practitioners reaching out to the Millennial Generation, wyrd synchronicities and the mystery of life and death.

Happy Veteran's Day to every one. Matt, a military veteran himself, ponders some fairly significant moral points about why being Asatru and being in the military, have similar expectations in regard to fulfilling obligations. Many veterans continue, quietly, in their professional mannerisms; a discipline long instilled in them even before the age of 21.

On this episode of Deep South Folk, Matt dives into his more personal life and the personal path he has decided to take. Sometimes as men, we lose sight of why we do what we do and at that point, we start forgetting what's really important to us.

Draugr: The Viking Undead, Zombies of the Northern Ice. This is a very special podcast, it's dedicated to a friend of mine who looked forward to me discussing this topic, thanks Douglas M. In Northern Lore, the unrequited dead were often the source of great fear, dread and unease. The Norse dedicated a large amount of their time, resources and abilities to stop these creatures of the night, the Draugr or 'The Again Walkers' - thanks for listening, please consider joining us at www.patreon.com/acncom or www.aesircom.com

Deep South Folk is a podcast about heathen living in the deep, sweaty and often gritty South. And sometimes, that's how we like it. In this Podcast Matt reminisces about his young adulthood, good times, making new memories, and Wodensfolk kindred's highway.

Women control society through the right to pick their mates. This strange, biological imperative often leaves Heathen men scratching their heads. Heiðrūn of the Free Folk discusses her research into how women use glamour, sex and deception to get the men they want. How Alpha males get the best, but often pay a high price and why Beta men hold the whole show together. Part 2's second hour can be heard on Patreon : www.patreon.com/acncom RF music by : The Wolf and the Moon

What is the Queen Bee cult mentality? Heiðrūn has been researching the effects that events have on traditional sexual roles. She continues her talk about 'mindedness' and why she believes that there are masculinity minded traits, femininely minded traits and other esoteric factors influencing both men and women. We also get into a discussion on generational influences and why Generation X may be holding the keys to cultural redemption themselves, the millennials and those that may be in their 20's today. And then, there is the controversial topic of the feminine *hive* mind. This is Part 2. Part 3 is an addendum for our Patreon listeners @ www.patreon.com/acncom.

Heiðrūn covers her studies on traditional gender observations and behavior as we discuss the topic : Women, Magic and Control. Tonight, we begin part one of the discussion, with part two following and an additional extended version (part 3) for our Patreon folks. She covers the basics in these two main casts and we'll get to the 'magic' side when she returns in couple weeks.

Observations on post eclipse reports from the alt-web from a heathen point of view. John also discusses what he did for the eclipse, why and what inspired him to experience totality while being underground in a cave. Plus, reports about UFOs, strange feelings people are having post eclipse and some on the political upheavals, strange storms and more ...

Recorded August 12th: Tonight's show was a call in discussion with your questions answered in the second half. Our first half of the show includes an in depth discussion of a possible initiation ritual found within those enigmatic rune process stanzas of the Rúnatals þáttr of Odin with Heiðrūn of the Free Folk. Could this be what he really meant? Join us as we explore the mysteries found within the wolf societies, the fierce Nordic Volvas and the use of Seiðr (Seider) magic in order to trance into the realms of the ancestors (or to send someone else there as we find out). If you would like to hear the second half as we get deeper and take the gloves of in regards to the Norse perspective on human sacrifice, please join us on Patreon by visiting aesircom.com

In this cast, John finally discusses and counters some negative feedback by basically reiterating the story of Odin's assent to apotheosis. In this cast, we cover how Asatru, Odinism and Heathenry, isn't "cultural", but esoteric, mystical and spiritual at its core.

On a recent trip back from seeing his family in another state, Matt mulls over the thought about what Asatru means to him. In this shorter set of thoughts for today, Matt explores this seemingly complex topic with relative ease. Visit us online at aesircom.com to find our Patreon, Facebook and Rootbocks links - while we appreciate your donation, we are just glad you tuned in today.

From the deep waters of Louisiana; Matt talks about his introduction to ethnic thought as a child, what he went through in order to find Asatru and discovering a faith buried within the DNA of the blood. He elaborates on a way of understanding that doesn't need all the baggage of either a past inflicted on us by the church or through our larping on ideas of the past. A great Monday show to pick up your heart, mind and spirits in the heat of life's battle.

Solar Eclipse UFOs, Whirling Black Suns and Bears ... Oh My! Our first cast as the new network starts today, Friday, July 21rst, 2017. We cover Mexican UFOs, Black Suns and Heathen folkish spirituality, all in our first episode under the new ACN banner. I compare the mania around the Mexico City July 11th, 1991 total eclipse of the sun and the UFO sightings that accompanied it's passing, to what we can expect for August, 21, 2017. We reaffirm the direction of the network as being both pro-Folkish, family oriented and more importantly, spiritual.

John's last public show on ABN and as operations head of the network: We start with a reading of McNallen's own version of the 9 Noble Virtues, discuss the events surrounding the Summer of the Black Sun and also a warning to our young men and women of Asatru. Thank you, folks, it's been great.

What is the secret of the Black Sun? How do I harness the Power of Vril? Are there secret Runic orders within the Nordic spiritual Traditions? Some believe Asatru is becoming a swollo lift cult, a simple morality tradition for Bikertrus and merely feeds into the same old materialistic line of the three Abrahamic traditions. Is that really true? We don't think so. But seriously, what does this have to do with UFOs, Vril and the Runes? You want answers, well, you can't handle the truth ... kidding. We discuss our initial explorations into these topics, why we are considering this path and our request to get your input at abncom.com.

Dagaz is the rune of the new dawn, the enlightening paradox and the 'time' of change. This represents, adequately, the 23rd rune in the Elder Futhark and the next to the last rune in the 3rd Aett of Frey. Visit us online at ABNcom.com for more information.

The rune Ingwaz or Inguz is the God Seed, or Frey's rune. This is the rune of male potential, Kingship and dedicated to the people of Ing or the King. Visit us online at ABNcom.com

Laguz is a rune often associated with water, but it it's deeper representation if one of the depths of the unexpected and the unconscious mind. This rune in particular has to be discussed in it's full esoteric context in order to inform it's basic meaning - water has a unique way of transforming itself, transporting it's presence and can easily get around most obstacles.

Mannaz is said to be the rune that represents all of mankind, and man as an individual, eternal being. This is the rune that embodies the eternal, while simultaneously asking us to reflect on the temporal nature of the human body (our ship) that takes up through life as our thoughts and memories guide.
