The <strong>Odin</strong> <strong>Brotherhood</strong> 85<br />
THE ODIN BROTHERHOOD: They are neither.<br />
AUTHOR: Then what are they?<br />
THE ODIN BROTHERHOOD: All worlds are what we make<br />
them.<br />
AUTHOR: You mentioned there are three Other-Worlds.<br />
What are their names?<br />
THE ODIN BROTHERHOOD: The first is called White-<br />
Kingdom or Valhalla. Heroes who die violent deaths go there.<br />
AUTHOR: Is a violent death absolutely necessary to enter<br />
White-Kingdom?<br />
THE ODIN BROTHERHOOD: Yes. Unless a soul exits<br />
through a gaping wound, it cannot enter White-Kingdom.<br />
AUTHOR: In an ancient text called The Ynglinga Saga, Snorri<br />
Sturluson declares that some dying heroes mark their bodies<br />
with the points of spears. Is that custom still followed?<br />
THE ODIN BROTHERHOOD: If there is blood at death—<br />
no matter how small the offering—the soul finds Valhalla. A<br />
man who knows that secret holds the key to White-Kingdom.<br />
AUTHOR: And what is the second Other-World?<br />
THE ODIN BROTHERHOOD: The second Other-World is<br />
called Gray-Kingdom. People who die straw deaths go there.<br />
AUTHOR: Straw deaths?<br />
THE ODIN BROTHERHOOD: People who die in bed from<br />
old age or sickness. Their souls exit through the nose/mouth.
