Flying in the face of the prevailing modern school of free verse, Juleigh Howard-Hobson's brand of 'standard traditional' poetry has won the Australian ANZAC Day Award, has been a finalist for the Morton Marr Poetry Prize and has been nominated for both "The Best of The Net" and The Pushcart Prize. It is with great pleasure that we are able to offer for sale this limited, hand numbered, chapbook by the editor of The Runestone Journal.

"Beyond the obvious appeal of the subject matter hinted at in titles such as 'After the Ashen Spear', 'Troth Magic' and 'John Barleycorn' (the latter being the author's take on the traditional English folksong of the same name) the English used here and the approach to rhyme are solid, straightforward, pleasing and somehow wholesome."—Runa Magazine

The long awaited third volume of Tyr is out now. Weighing in at over 525 pages, Tyr 3 contains what we've come to expect of these publications, and a little of what we never would, but are very glad to find there nonetheless.

Our Northern heritage's great traditions, classic myths and ongoing culture are presented, explored and examined through poetics, interviews, essays, translations, and reviews by luminary thinkers such as Ian Read, Michael Moynihan, Joscelyn Godwin, Stephen Flowers, Nigel Pennick, Alain De Benoist and others. Many others. Tyr3 is as abundant a volume as it is deeply engrossing and varied. The sheer wealth of writers and artists who make up the table of contents is intriguing and interesting... and, their work is inspiring. All of it.

As usual, editors Josh Buckley and Michael Moynihan pull together a collection of radical traditional and anti-modern works that both transcend and hold-to-account the contemporary material world we must rub shoulders with. Tyr 3 is a stunning anthology of intellectual and insightful work that we cannot recommend highly enough.

"When we invoke the 'myths, culture and social institutions of pre-Christian, pre-modern Europe' we do so not out of mere antiquarian interest or a need to escape into historical fantasy. On a fundamental level, this is still the stuff of life, though it may be well submerged beneath the veneer of the modern world. ... By looking to the origins of our culture, what we hope to find is an alternative to the asphalt wasteland of our data-drenched civilization. This is a revolution in the most radical sense of the word: a turning back to the roots to reclaim a new beginning."-- (from the preface by the editors)

The Runestone is back !!

With all the changes and cycles of the AFA it's not too surprising that we'd eventually see a return of its signature journal, The Runestone Journal. However, rather than a glossy, full-size magazine as before, it is returning in a 6"x9" bound soft cover book, totaling over 200 pages of articles, essays, photography, poetry and art on 100% recycled paper.

From an interview with Chris Larsen of Odin Lives! Radio to the very first English translation of Rydberg's 1892 "the Heroic Saga on the Rokstone", Issue One delivers a span of contemporary and classical folkish Asa thought.

 This is a limited edition; new issues will be available annually.

Issue One includes work by:

Juleigh Howard-Hobson (editor)

 Tina Lebouthillier (art editor)

 Dave Hobson (production, design, layout)

On Being a Pagan, by Alain de Benoist

In this book, the founder of the profoundly pagan "French New Right" argues that Christianity has failed Europe, and that only a re-linking with the eternal truths of our pre-Christian heritage can rescue us from the guilt, fear, and rootless nihilism of the present age. This book is highly intelligent, compelling, and designed for men and women living real lives in the 21st century.
