00:00:00.000 There are two people more than anything else who are responsible for the amazing things
00:00:13.600 that we have in our lives today. Steve and Sheila McAllen built this. They built it with
00:00:26.460 blood, sweat and tears
00:00:29.800 they built it with years of
00:00:32.300 thankless work
00:00:36.060 laying foundations
00:00:37.780 and setting in motion a dream
00:00:41.580 that in many ways was far off to achieving
00:00:46.660 but the work, the love, the devotion
00:00:50.520 the pioneering spirit
00:00:52.720 to see what could be
00:00:56.160 And to take that initiative to go out, to put in the work, to stand alone, to build it, is something we will always be so very, very grateful for.
00:01:07.820 our founder
00:01:11.320 Stephen McNallan
00:01:12.920 is responsible
00:01:14.320 through his
00:01:17.320 personal relationship
00:01:19.300 with the All-Father Odin
00:01:20.920 for bringing 1.00
00:01:24.580 Ausatru back into our world
00:01:27.500 he is the foundation 1.00
00:01:29.580 that modern Ausatru
00:01:31.520 is built upon
00:01:32.420 and his wife Sheila
00:01:34.840 to build our AFA
00:01:37.000 to build our community to build our family she has put in she has put in all of herself and
00:01:48.040 continues to to this very day and will for all foreseeable future she cares about this so deeply
00:01:56.680 and so much that so much of our sexual writ large is a result of Steve's inspiration and his dedication.
00:02:10.640 So much of our AFA family as a group, as a church, has been built on the heart of Sheila McNeiland
00:02:19.800 and the love that she has for our gods and our folk and to see this happen.
00:02:24.520 and, uh, we could never possibly do enough to honor them, but we're going to try anyways.
00:02:35.940 And, uh, I've always wanted to see statues erected of these amazing people and what better time
00:02:48.720 than when we found our home, the home of victory, Sigerheim.
00:02:54.860 So we wanted to put that into place and make that happen.
00:03:01.000 And I'm proud to present these statues to Steve and Sheila McNallan
00:03:08.180 as a Yule gift from all of us who have been so very inspired by the work they've done.
00:03:18.720 And we're so very, very appreciative from the bottom of our hearts.
00:03:23.400 Good folk, I have the great honor and privilege to present to you today a gift to the McNallans.
00:03:33.520 This Yule at Sigurheim in honor of them and dedication by decree of Ausheri Argoni, Matt Flavel.
00:03:41.880 Well, there was a very special picture that was taken of the McNallans in a field.
00:03:52.420 And it was taken around the time of the foundation of the Astro Folk Assembly.
00:03:58.140 That picture has always been very inspirational to me.
00:04:01.940 And I think in one frame, it captured the very essence of what we do.
00:04:11.880 We present to you these statues of dedication as a gift, a mule to you both for so much.
00:04:25.880 Without you two, none of us would be here.
00:04:30.880 None of these great and momentous moments of the Hoffs and the attainment of Sigurheim,
00:04:38.880 And none of this would have happened without you.
00:04:42.700 So from the bottom of my heart, and all the folk gathered here that have helped to make this happen,
00:04:49.420 and to become Husserio Brody, Matt Flavel, and his genius of getting this done,
00:04:56.240 and having it made tangible, from an idea to reality, for you.
00:05:03.600 To you and to all the folk, let us rejoice in our victories and our, and these are just one of many, many that we have gained and many that are to come.
00:05:20.600 So, to you and to all the folk, let us rejoice in our victories.
00:05:27.600 Steve reaching, reaching up towards the gods, arms outstretched in the algae's pose, facing north with his mouth open, chanting into existence this that we know as Ousitre.
00:05:50.000 and with his devoted wife Sheila to his side, holding the horn, making things sacred, making
00:06:01.080 things special, looking up with devotion and dedication, and that's what's brought us here
00:06:11.160 today, and that's what we sought to try to recapture in bronze.
00:06:20.000 I suppose all that can be said
00:06:24.280 is
00:06:24.940 thank you
00:06:27.220 and now you are
00:06:29.320 deeply and forever
