Ásatrú Alliance

The group is typically classified by scholars as folkish based on their ethnocentrism and restricting of membership to those of specific ancestry.

[citation needed] As a definition of Ásatrú, AA cites a 1995 essay by McNallen on "what is Ásatrú", which concludes by summarizing the main goals as the practice of "courage, honor, the importance of the family and ancestral bonds, strength, freedom, the preservation of our kind, and joyful, vigorous life."

[7] In 1969, Murray worked with Else Christensen[inconsistent] to found the Odinist Fellowship, and served as vice president.

In 1986, he founded World Tree Publications,[8][independent source needed] and in 1987, he served as general manager of the AFA.

[9] When the AFA folded, he and Robert Taylor of the Tribe of the Wulfings, began to create the Ásatrú Alliance in 1987, inviting other kindreds to a formational Althing in 1988.

[7] In 2013, Murray commented on the killing of Colorado Department of Corrections head Tom Clements as the alleged murderer "practiced a controversial form of religion behind bars"[11] which was Asatru.

[12] In 2014, Murray was interviewed in a three-part series by George Whitehurst Berry on the Sedona Dreams Show.
