Can I ask about the quote in your bio just under the header?
I’m just wondering where it’s from.
The Hávamál is one of the foundational texts of Asatru religions, and is found in the Poetic Edda. It presents wisdom shared from the Allfather, albeit filtered through multiple centuries of oral records and variously reliable intermediaries.
Line 127, quoted in my bio, is also significant as the eponymous line of Declaration 127, which is an intra-community declaration condemning and anathematizing the presence of white supremacists, antisemites, and other forms of bigotry in our spaces.
Notable is the difficulty in properly translating the word "frið," which I chose to render as "peace" but which is more complex.
By invoking line 127, we verbally affirm our obligations to confront such corruptive elements wherever they arise. We must not break bread with them. We do not meet them under banner of truce. Our business with them is done when they are destroyed utterly, and no sooner.
There can be no frið with fascists.
