In keeping with this newest phase of our Tribe’s esoteric strategy, the Black Order of Vinland will be coming out of the shadows and making the teachings of Dark Heathenism available to the public for the first time. To this end this blog will henceforth function as the public mouthpiece of the BOV and its affiliates, and in addition other pertinent information from outside of the Order will be shared here where necessary.
The Black Order of Vinland began as a nexion of the O9A around 2015, and still today it aligns itself with the aims and ethos Reichsfolk movement. That said, we maintain our independence as a unique esoteric society and though we pay homage to our intellectual and spiritual progenitors, ultimately our Tribe stand on its own and remains unaffiliated with other nexions, temples, organizations, etc.. This does not exclude the participation of individuals within the BOV with other groups, however their affiliations are not representative of the Order as a whole.
The teachings and practices of the BOV are described by the name “Dark Heathenism”, which consists, among other things, of certain teachings pertaining to the Runes, a modern mythos developed from Northern European lore, an esoteric calendar based on the cycles of Nature, and hermetic rituals geared toward developing the powers of the soul. It departs significantly from conventional Heathenry, representing instead a new tradition of American witchcraft suited to the needs of the present day. As the memeplex of the BOV, it is rooted deep in our Pagan ethos and has been designed not just for its own sake, but to aid the fulfillment of certain long-term esoteric aims.
In due time a contact email will be provided so that interested persons can contact the BOV. As of the time of writing only a small handful of people have ever been involved with the Order at any one time, and membership depended on the prospective initiate knowing and having the approval of someone who was already in good standing with the BOV. Now for the first time, as part of this current phase of our esoteric strategy, we are changing this and moving toward a greater level of openness.
