Over the weekend, the Asatru Folk Assembly, a whites-only heathen organization, dedicated a new gathering place, "ThorsHof", in Linden, North Carolina.

The Asatru Folk Assembly has extremely close ties to organized white nationalism & has only gotten worse in recent years.

The Asatru Folk Assembly also established a third "hof" (temple) in Minnesota this month.

(The AFA's first hof is in Brownsville, California.)

Cumberland County, NC records show that the Linden property was purchased by Svan Herul earlier this year, then officially transferred to the racist heathen org.

Herul of Virginia Beach, VA is an Asatru Folk Assembly gothi (priest) & has now been promoted to AFA's Witan (Board).

There were some familiar faces at the Linden, NC dedication.

Here's Brandon Trent East of Georgia in the cap with Asatru Folk Assembly head Matt Flavel.

We exposed East last year. He is now a "folkbuilder" or recruiter for the AFA.

We've pointed out that East - who was in the National Guard and then worked as a jailer until we exposed him - keeps some interesting company.

Here is East (L) with Matthew Ryan Burchfield (R), a neo-Nazi who later joined The Base and traveled to Ukraine.

Robert Stamm (L) took his "folkbuilder" oath at the Linden, NC dedication.

Stamm was fired last year from the Virginia Capitol Police following an exposé by @ash_antifa.

Oh look! It's Joshua Keith Williams of South Carolina on the left.

Last year, @avlantiracism exposed Williams as a member of the white nationalist organization Identity Evropa (now rebranded as the American Identity Movement.)
