The names Edred Thorrson and Darban-i-Den are pseudonyms of Stephen E. Flowers.
While Edred Thorrson was a significant influence on Heathenry in the 90s and turn of the century, nowadays he is strongly associated with The Asatru Folk Assembly.
In a recent statement, The Asatru Folk Assembly declared point blank that non-white and LGBT Heathens were not welcome in their tradition. The Asatru Folk Assembly views do not represent our views at all!!! We hereby declare that we do not condone hatred or discrimination, and will not associate with those who do. We will not grant the tacit approval of silence in the name of frið, to those who would use these traditions to justify prejudice on the basis of race, nationality, orientation, or gender identity.
