"The NWA Kindred exists for the practice of the pre-Christian 
Scandinavian/Germanic religion in Northwest Arkansas. We gather together for 
sumbels, blots, or games on such holy days as Yule and Midsummer. We also study 
the languages and skills of the Northern European peoples, e.g. learning Old 
Norse and Anglo-Saxon, studying the sagas and Eddas, rune carving, and 
mead-making. Recent events include games (hammer toss, log toss, etc) at 
Midsummer, rune classes, and an open sumbel at a large pagan Fall Festival 
gathering. Our members and friends come from a variety of ancestral backgrounds, 
and like the vast majority of heathen organizations, we are opposed to racism 
and racial hatred."

Nice design, with obvious Scandinavian-cross influence. The emblem is Thor's 
hammer charged with a raven, a sun-wheel swastika, and a boar.
