Grievance of Runehof

Case Topic

Outlawry of Eric James Dokken

Accusers

Howard Allan ZumBerge, a.k.a. Steelfoot, as an  individual and as Chieftain of Runehof Asatru Kindred.

Steelfoot is joined by the Chieftains and Law Speakers of the following three kindreds:

Matt Reardon, Wulfsgeist Kindred
Christine Stone, Wolfmoon Kindred
Jim Rogers, Northwoods Kindred

Accused

Eric James Dokken

Note: there is no available on-line identity and/or alias for the accused.

Allegations/Statement of Fact

Dokken became known to Runehof members through standard contact methods; in this case via communication shared with a re-enactment organization. After in-person meetings and conversations, Dokken was invited to attend Runehof blot.

During a blot gathering – attended by dozens of people and several different kindreds, Dokken molested one of the young children. When this was discovered and subsequently reported to the police, it was learned that Dokken held previous convictions for the same offense, and was in fact on parole for the very same offense.

Dokken is currently incarcerated. Confirming information can be found at:

Supporting Documentation

The word and honor of the Chieftains and Law Speakers of the Kindreds as listed above.

Furthermore, Dokken acknowledged his guilt in state court, as clearly shown in the following document:

 

 

Stated Action

Dokken has proven himself to be a threat to the safety of our communities, and has proven himself to be a liar of most dangerous nature. Additionally, he continues to attempt contact with other Asatru organizations and individuals.

As Steelfoot, hearth-owner and frith-speaker at Runehof’s blot-fire, Dokken has violated the trust of my kinsmen and kinswomen – a trust which I had sworn. Frith was broken at my hearth – under circumstances most grievous.

Dokken is declared outlaw and nithing, and outcast from all Heathen Society. We are joined in this declaration by those kindreds listed at the end of this document. All kindreds who have affirmed this action have acted independently of any other organization or consideration.

Definition of Action

Because of the extremely heinous nature of Dokkens’ offense, and the high probability that he will continue to attempt contact with the Heathen community, we feel it is of utmost importance that the greater Heathen community be informed.

Dokken is still subject to and protected by Utland Law. Of greater importance is that WE are also subject to Utland Law, and irrespective of ancient Heathen tradition, we must act within the parameters of that Utland Law while satisfying the traditions of Heathen Law.

By declaring Dokken outlaw and outcast from Heathen society, we affirm the following:

  1. Dokken is banned from blot, sumble, or any gathering at which Heathens who affirm this outlawry are present, and which is assembled for the purpose of Heathen activity.
  2. If  Dokken should appear at any Heathen gathering attended by any who affirm this outlawry, we will inform the host. If the host refuses to take appropriate action, we will depart, and make it publicly known.
  3. Similarly, Dokken will be banned from any and all e-groups and e-lists organized by affirming Heathens. If Dokken should appear on any e-list or e-group frequented by affirming Heathens, the list /group owner(s) will be informed of Dokken's record and outlawry.
  4. Any Heathen who knowingly and willingly gives sanctuary or comfort to the outlaw will themselves be considered outlaw.

We declare and affirm no other actions than those listed above.
