An introduction to the aims of the AHF in their own words:

Our future & people

The purpose of the AHF today is to be an institution for the development and reconstruction of our integral culture(1). This means that we seek to re-unite our peoples historical and inherited morals and ethics with the current development of our world. The problem, as we see it, is that we are loosing [sic] whatever we had of identity to the ever increasing cultural hegemony of the pop-culture, a phenomena that we regard as quite contra productive and devastating for the worlds cultural heritage. With some success, the task for saving inherited culture is carried out in other parts of the world, but it does require devotion and interest.

Our goal — to try to influence the path of our culture — may seem an overwhelming task, but influential movements have existed before, and still do today, as for instance the movement against globalization; ATTAC.

As any new born movement has to do, we work close to the ground, on the grass root level of society. Our goals can only be reached by enlightenment, and it is those who are close to us we try to reach first. We are not a political organization with huge ambitions, but an honest voice, that lingers in the back of our minds, knowing that the morals and ethics of our ancestors have existed and developed into the form we know it, for many thousands of years — and that they cannot be up rooted in the space of 40 years without serious damage to the environment which surrounds us.

To be more specific, we advocate honorable and conscientious conduct as the path to a positive outcome. With pop-culture, this becomes less and less obvious. Then we draw closer to the core of our philosophy; namely the revival of our cultural identity(2). Some headwords on what this implies are:

• Participating in folk customs/festivities/traditions

• Studying our integral culture

• Spreading the knowledge of our integral culture

• Advocate environmentalism

• Arrange festivities and festivals as according to tradition

• Arrange lectures or seminars with our area of interest in centre

• Make previous knowledge (in our area of interest) more accessible to the public

Do you identify yourself [sic] with our mindset and mission? We need your help in order to accomplish our goals. Join us today!

Notes: 1. For a good covered definition of the term integral culture see: Flowers, Stephen Edred. (2002). The Idea of Integral Culture : A Model for a Revolt Against the Modern World. Tyr, 1, (1), 11-21. 2. We only advocate the positive aspects of course. We do not wish to return to an uneducated and barbaric culture, like churchgoing, a double set of morals [a result of this faith], ritual drowning etc.'

[edit] Varg Vikernes

Varg Vikernes was only a member of the NHF, not founder or leader. He stated in an interview:

"The NHF was persecuted in Norway, by the Antifa/Monitor, who repeatedly wrote that the NHF was neo-Nazi and that leader was Varg Vikernes, and so forth. Even when the NHF told them that Varg Vikernes is not the leader of the NHF or the AHF they just kept on about it. Even the secret police claimed adamantly that I was the leader of the NHF when they interviewed one of the NHF guys (as he tried to get a license to own a 10mm H&K pistol of some sort). He told them I wasn't the leader, but they just ignored him and trusted their own sources instead."
