Declaration of Purpose II
II. The preservation of the Ethnic European Folk and their continued evolution
If the Ethnic European Folk cease to exist, Ásatrú would likewise no longer exist. Let us be clear: by Ethnic European Folk, we mean white people. It is our collective will that we not only survive, but thrive, and continue our evolution in the direction of the Infinite. All native religions spring from the unique collective soul of a particular race. Religions are not arbitrary or accidental; body, mind and spirit are all shaped by the evolutionary history of the group and are thus interrelated. Asatru is not just what we believe, it is what we are. Therefore, the survival and welfare of the Ethnic European Folk as a cultural and biological group is a religious imperative for the AFA.
What does this mean? In my mind this declaration should impact every one of us, impacting us deeply in our genetic memory. If you don't stand up for the continued existence of our Folk and win victories along the way, the entire human population is doomed to an insignificant, gray, and sorry existence. The benefits that our people have brought to the human population is exponential and indisputable in the advancement of the human population. We must remember and preserve at all costs our heritage and history. We are connected by our race and should be nothing less than proud of where we come from as Ethnic European Folk.
This is why we are here now as part of the AFA, to preserve our heritage and faith. As eyes become opened to this truth, we must embrace our race and culture, adapting to the current time we exist in by incorporating a modernity to the ways of our ancestors and practicing Ásatrú, not in the environment of our ancient ancestors, but in today's environment.
So, raise your children to know where they come from and to be proud of their race. Don't hide in the shadows with your faith, speak bright words in support of our Folk in the open so that the world can hear. Don't let fear run rampant in being proud of who we are. Help secure the present so that the next generations should be secure in their existence as a people without worry of destruction by those that would see us disappear into the annals of history.
