  1. Steven "Piparskegrr" Robinson says:

    I’ve been around since July 1988, and never heard of this Runic Society/Templin character.

    I have been around the Asatru Folk Assembly, the Asatru Alliance, the Odinic Rite, The Ring of Troth, the Midnott Soll Regintroth, Irminsul Aetir…have been pretty much a home and hearth heathen for the past decade.

    Steve, Valgard and Garman were the first three to welcome me when I reached out a few years after that.

    Steve is the person with whom I have had most consistent contact over the decades. While he and I done not see eye to eye 100% of the time, I have never been ill used by him or folks close to him.

    Joss Turner, towards the end of his life, actually encouraged Steve to steer away from Volkish, as opposed to Folkish, thought.

    Steve wrote for SOF and Eagle military magazines.

    Any further, contact me.
