Mills, a barrister and writer, sought to revive what he considered the ancient religion of the "British race", which he believed was more natural and spiritually fitting than Christianity.
His theological framework centered on Odin as the supreme deity, integrating elements of Norse mythology with an ideological blend heavily influenced by Aryan and racialist thought.
[2] Mills authored several influential texts, including The First Guide Book to the Anglecyn Church of Odin (1936) and The Odinist Religion: Overcoming Jewish Christianity (1939).
She established the Odinist Fellowship in the 1960s, aiming to promote the practice of Odinism within a framework that emphasized the cultural and racial heritage of people of European descent.
[5] Bolton's iteration of the church continued to emphasize the racial and cultural aspects of Odinism, aligning with Mills's original vision and integrating it with his far-right political activities.
