Nicanthiel Hrafnhild - Chief Editor
Nicanthiel Hrafnhild is the founder of the Waincraft movement, and was previously influential in Vanatru before being led away from strict reconstructionism. He also has been involved in ADF, the Ekklesia Antinoou, and the Geferraeden Fyrnsidu, but is now pursuing his own path, focusing on the deep, dark mystical and magical currents that underlie the Powers.
He has been copy and managing editor for the newspaper of Montclair State University, helped edit the Vanatru compilation Visions of Vanaheim, been featured in several other pagan anthologies, and is the author of the Earth Mother devotional Boar, Birch and Bog: Prayers to Nerthus, and co-author of An Introduction to Vanatru, both available through Gullinbursti Press.
