The Asatru Folk Assembly's staff of volunteers continues to grow!
Joseph Lyons is taking charge of the AFA website. He'll be working with us to give our organization a neater, more efficient online presence. He'll also design the site for the Asatru Military Project, one of the most promising new AFA initiatives.
Chuck Hudson will maintain the Asatru Military Project site once Joseph has designed it.
Albert Ward, who has faithfully done updates and modifications for us for some time, will serve as a backup.
This team will serve us well as we expand the AFA's operations in the months and years to come! I am very much looking forward to working with them.

Two New Asatru Folk Assembly Clergy Take Oath!
Two new AFA Clergy members have been sworn in by Alsherjargothi McNallen. One candidate was Brad Taylor-Hicks, of St. Augustine, Florida. The other was Suzanne White, of Newcastle-upon-Tyne, in northern England. In both cases, the oath was administered telephonically.
Once again, I am awed by the caliber of men and women we are bringing into the Clergy program. Both these individuals have produced fine work during their course. Moreover, their personalities and characters have shone. I am confident they will give excellent service to the Gods and the Folk.
Hail the new Gothi and Gythja!

Okay, Asatru, Yule is Over - Now What?
For all of us who follow Asatru the Twelve Days of Yule have come and gone. We have lit our candles, said our words, affirmed the values of our religion. Now the candles stand, their light long gone, ready to be put away for next year. We have made our News Years resolutions, of course, and the more willful among us will actually carry them out. (Most of us will forget them before January passes.)
What's next?
Well, for starters, how about joining the Asatru Folk Assembly?
This blog reaches a lot of people - most of whom are not AFA members. To all you non-members out there...How about considering changing your status? The AFA can use good men and women who share our beliefs.
We are on the edge of a new year that holds promise and potential - and, no doubt, problems as well, but we'll overcome those. Take a look at our web site, at http://runestone.org. Read our Mission Statement, and our Vision Statement, and our Declaration of Purpose. If you like what you see...ask us about membership!
