Visual-virtual Heathen politicking: anti-racist Heathenry on Instagram -- Conclusion: Inferences, implications and future directions.This book offers the first examination of extremist Heathenry and occultism in the UK and how anti-racist Heathens act to counter this discourse. It explores the spectrum of Heathen practice today and the historical origins of racist Heathenry in nineteenth century Germanic romanticism and twentieth century folkish nationalism. Treating each of the three main extremist Heathen organisations, the book extends the analysis to the neo-Nazi occult organization the Order of the Nine Angles (O9A), and the wider racist Heathen cultural scene in Black Metal and Dark Folk music. The authors balance this with discussion of how inclusivist Heathens are countering this discourse, from visible protests at far-right rallies to inter-faith forums and an active presence on social media platforms. The book makes an important contribution to the intersecting fields of new religious movements, nationalist history and racist politics.Heathenry (Germanic paganism)Political aspectsGreat Britainhttp://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2022005886Heathenry (Germanic paganism)Great Britainhttp://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2022005886OccultismPolitical aspectsGreat Britainhttp://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85093821OccultismGreat Britainhttp://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85093821RacismReligious aspectshttp://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85110267RadicalismReligious aspectshttp://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2001007455Religion and politicsGreat Britainhttp://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85112577British PoliticsmupReligion & BeliefsbicsscPOLITICAL SCIENCE / Religion, Politics & StatebisacshFar-right political ideologies and movementsthemaHeathenry (Germanic paganism)Political aspectsHeathenry (Germanic paganism)OccultismPolitical aspectsOccultismRacismReligious aspects.RadicalismReligious aspects.Religion and politicsBritish PoliticsReligion & BeliefsPOLITICAL SCIENCE / Religion, Politics & StateFar-right political ideologies and movements299.94Alessio Dominic1854605Wallis Robert J.UkMaJRUBOOK9911011861203321Faith, folk and the far right4451941UNINA
