Sigurd is the model Germanic
hero. His wooing of the Valkyrie Brynhild, the winning of the treasure of the
Nibelungs, and the constant theme of Odinic initiation that weaves itself
throughout his story are priceless parts of our Ásatrú heritage, that provide
endless material for contemplation and inspiration for action.
June 9th is the
heathen day of remembrance for Sigurd the Volsing, the great and noble Teutonic
hero. Sigurd wooed the valkyrie Brynhild and won the treasure of the Nibelungs.
He is noted for the constant theme of Odinic initiation that weaves itself
throughout his story. His heroic lore is a valued element of Asatru heritage,
provides cause for contemplation and inspiration for action-based life on this
day.
