Author Vexior 218, also named Ekortu

Would like opinions on this guy. Thinking about it, I hget my doubts what is his real practice. Really, when I started reading Thursakingi 2, I made a facepalm when I found this strange slip: (page 21)

The Flaming Light within this grimoire is a gift received
through dedicating this life as a proud Satanist to serve
Thursian Worship and the Cult of Loki.

The Thursakyngi trilogy is not bad, but it keeps me wondering about how much pagan the books actually are, and of course how much author is actually pagan.
Another interesting find is that the dragon on book n. 1 comes from a music album.

My opinion is that he did made interesting work, but the more I think about it, the more I think about it being based on Christian-satanic occult stuff rather than deep understanding of Norse paganism. Besides it is a fact that before Thursakynigi he wrote PanParadox, a Satanist work, also anti osmic. I think (rather blind guess) that he rebranded to Norse as it seems to sell better.

His work is based in what most people would call "Anti-Cosmic Satanism"--he also focuses on ancient Swedish tradition. He writes lyrics intended to approximate or actually be Old Swedish. He is sincere in his work. His use of ancient Scandinavian religious mythos relates to Thursatru; something resembling a Norse version of Anti-Cosmic Gnosticism or "Anti-Cosmic Satanism". In fact, his book Gullveigarbók is highly regarded, and is perhaps a key work, in that tradition.

This passage is thus consistent:
"The Flaming Light within this grimoire is a gift received
through dedicating this life as a proud Satanist to serve
Thursian Worship and the Cult of Loki."

The first song of that album Antikosmos, aptly named Svarti, starts with hailing multiple Thurs.

Correction: He is the founder of that tradition.

Interesting. Guess that I was not looking at him right way. Though I disagree with the "true satanist" claim to be consistent with the rest of the book, I didn't think that Thursakyngi books could be part of greater syncretic system of Norse paganism and Satanism.

It’s highly likely that when the Norse began exploring new lands, the worship of deities like Loki and other "dark lords" stayed intact even absorbing outside influences before the Poetic Edda was written by a Christian. We also shouldn't forget that the cult of Odin wasn't always a part of Norse mythology; originally, gods weren't all worshipped the same way. This matters because the strict dualism of good vs. evil didn't exist in early Norse culture. Instead, Germanic tribes introduced Odin worship to Scandinavian kings and elites, who gradually adopted dualism and forced people to stop worshipping "evil" gods. Only a few rebels refused to bow down.
The books dedicated to Ekortu follow an antinomian Gnostic path where "Satan" and "Lucifer" are words, not proper names. Ignoring Christian propaganda, Satan simply means "the opposer" and Lucifer means "the illuminated." In this primal mindset, they represent connected stages of a magician’s personal evolution. Merely opposing the cosmic order isn't enough; you must also seek enlightenment. Ultimately, these terms don't refer to "the Christian Devil", but rather to self-enlightenment and a rebellion against mainstream religious mindsets.
