00:00:00.000 Hello, on the 9th of every month the Ask True Folk Assembly likes to set aside a day of
00:00:13.800 remembrance to celebrate a hero of our faith, someone who's paved the way, who's built and
00:00:21.180 who's sacrificed so that we can practice our faith in the way we do today and have the things we have.
00:00:30.000 This month, it is my honor to raise a horn and to celebrate the life and the accomplishments
00:00:36.960 of Alexander Rudd Mills.
00:00:42.380 Mills was a barrister, a prolific author, and a visionary who awakened our folk and
00:00:50.740 our folk faith in Australia.
00:00:52.300 you. He was inspired by the teachings of Maestro Guido von List, and he sought to return the
00:01:04.400 English colonial peoples to a faith in line with their true selves, to bring us back to
00:01:12.840 the worship of the gods bring us back to Odin to this he he worked his whole life
00:01:21.080 and toiled and he wrote prolifically and he had a vision of bringing us home
00:01:25.400 bringing our people home in 1936 he founded the Anglican Church of Odin in
00:01:31.320 Melbourne Australia during the tumultuous times that Mills lived in the
00:01:39.520 last century he he was imprisoned his church was persecuted and and it was
00:01:47.320 suppressed and the the opposition tried every way they could to to squash the
00:01:55.700 dream and the fledgling seed that he planted but to no avail he stayed true
00:02:04.720 to the gods he's faced with tested but he stood up to the test and he inspired others his inspiration
00:02:12.420 lives on to this very day very importantly Elsie Christensen when she was first starting out she
00:02:18.760 found the teachings of Mills and she was inspired to to pursue the gods and to found what would
00:02:24.600 become the Odinus Fellowship in the United States and in Canada she brought that faith to North
00:02:30.920 America and the work she's put in have contributed enormously to Alcetru and the way we practice
00:02:37.580 today. This is all due to the groundwork laid by Alexander Rudd Mills, his vision, his dream,
00:02:46.020 that he was courageous enough to put into practice, to shape into reality, to manifest
00:02:51.900 here in Midgard. So on this July 9th, I'd like to raise a horn to a hero, a visionary,
00:03:00.020 and a man that made it possible to do what we do today.
00:03:06.020 I raise this horn on behalf of the Astro Folk Assembly
00:03:09.020 to Alexander Runtmills. 0.92
00:03:11.020 Hail.
