This is the first of Rud Mills' writings on Odinism to be cleansed of earlier "small press" typographical and other errors, and the first to be reissued today on behalf of the copyright-holder of all of Mills' works, the Odinic Rite of Australia. Rud Mills argues in this essay that Classical and therefore Western Civilization went astray with the theories of Socrates, as described by his disciple Plato. Socrates' ideas were picked up by a Hellenized version of Judaism, and subsequently imposed by force on the rest of Europe. However, Rud Mills argues that we can get back to the pure, clean, delightful spirituality of our Odinist ancestors. By doing so, we can restore spiritual sanity to the Nation of Odin.
