The International Asatru-Odinic Alliance (1997-2002) was an association formed by the Asatru Alliance, the Asatru Folk Assembly, and the Odinic Rite in 1997. It was meant to be an alliance of those Asatru organizations which took a "folkish" viewpoint at a time of strong sectarian conflicts with those they labelled "universalists" (the "folkish" view is that there is a genetic component to religion). In March 2001, Hnikar abruptly resigned from the IAOA and his preferred successor, Sheila McNallen of the AFA, was selected as the IAOA's third Allsherjargothi.

  • The International Asatru-Odinic Alliance (1997-2002) was an association formed by the Asatru Alliance, the Asatru Folk Assembly, and the Odinic Rite in 1997. It was meant to be an alliance of those Asatru organizations which took a "folkish" viewpoint at a time of strong sectarian conflicts with those they labelled "universalists" (the "folkish" view is that there is a genetic component to religion). Valgard Murray, Secretary of the Asatru Alliance was selected as the first IAOA Allsherjargothi ("every man's priest"). Murray had been a member of the Asatru Free Assembly and at its dissolution in 1989, was a founding member of the Asatru Alliance. In 1999, the IAOA responded critically to the FBI's Project Megiddo report. At Althing 20 in Utah, in the summer of 2000, Murray's chosen successor, Hnikar Wood, was chosen as IAOA Allsherjargothi. The Asatru Folk Assembly was represented by Stephen McNallen, Murray represented the Asatru Alliance, and Wood was the personal representative of Heimgest, the Director of the Court of Gothar of the Odinic Rite. Hnikar had also been a member of the Asatru Free Assembly prior to its dissolution, and was the West Coast director of the Odinic Rite-Vinland, the Southern California director of the AFA, a member of Raven Kindred of the Asatru Alliance, and editor of the AA's magazine, Vor Tru. At the Althing, Hnikar read a request from Ruarik Grimnisson of Australia's Assembly of the Elder Troth to join the IAOA, and the AET was voted into membership. Hnikar had met Ruarik in Fremantle, Australia in 1998 and had contributed to the IAOA magazine, Irminsul. In March 2001, Hnikar abruptly resigned from the IAOA and his preferred successor, Sheila McNallen of the AFA, was selected as the IAOA's third Allsherjargothi. On 20 June 2002, the IAOA was disbanded. The Odinic Rite issued the following announcement: In Loyal service of Faith, Folk & Family The Court of Gothar Asbjeorn CG Heimgest CG Asrad CG The Assembly of the Elder Troth's history notes:
