Mari Silva: Ai generated pagan, and spirituality books.
Wolf the Red and Ocean Keltoi Owners of the Hold Discord Server: anti-Semitic, and xenophobic. Have berated multiple people with mob tactics, and have caused several people irreparable mental anguish and ptsd.

Edred Thorson/Stephen Flowers: known white supremacist who wrote one of the more popular books on Runes, also founder of the Rune Guild.

Vilhelm Gronbech: Nazi-author of "Culture of the Teutons"
Daniel McCoy: Norse Mythology for smart people, routinely speaks hate against Loki, a proud misogynist, and supporter of Thorrson.
Ekortu (former pseudonym Vexior). He considers himself the founder of the Thursatru Tradition. Some of the books he wrote:
- Þursakyngi, Volume 1: The Essence of Thursian Sorcery
- Þursakyngi, Volume 2: Loki
- Gullveigarbók: An Investigation of Gullveig in Old Norse Mythology & Her Anti-Cosmic Nexus
- Panparadox (from 2009, under his former pseudonym)
Thursatru (at least how he describes it) is heavily based on Anti-Cosmic Satanism (also known as "Chaos-Gnostic Satanism" or "Current 218"). The later is an ideology created by The Temple of the Black Light (formerly the Misanthropic Luciferian Order). It's a misanthropic, fascist and satanic organization similar to Order of Nine Angles (terrorist and neo-nazi network). Members of Temple of the Black Light were involved in really bad criminal activities (||Keillers Park murder, animal sacrifices, calling for mass suicide||). In general Anti-Cosmic Satanism in an ideology based on belief that "the universe is an aberration that needs to be destroyed so that primordial chaos can reign again". They worship "eleven anti-cosmic gods" described in the book Liber Azerate.
