Karl E.H. Seigfried examines DC Comics’ Superman as an American myth – one that can be told in many ways.
Karl E.H. Seigfried examines the claim by American Heathens that use of Norse symbols by white supremacists constitutes “cultural appropriation” through speaking with numerous scholars and practitioners.
Luke Babb responds to the appropriation of Heathen symbols during Wednesday’s U.S. Capitol riot with a challenge: it is time for inclusive American Heathenry to become actively anti-racist.
One of the figures in the forefront of the extremist riot at the U.S. Capitol yesterday wore Heathen symbols tattooed on his chest. Heathen groups have spoken out against this appropriation of their symbols by the far right.
The USA not at a turning point, writes Karl Seigfried – it has been on the wrong path for years. But there are steps to take to rescue it from its present mire of racism and violence: choosing diversity over inclusion; bringing an end to violent threats; and, at the last, simply choosing to care for one another.
