What is "vigrid"

Vigrid is a Norwegian organization which combines racial teachings with imagery derived from Norse mythology. Vigrid was founded by Tore W. Tvedt on 1 January 1999. In 2009 the group registered as a political party, and ran for the parliamentary election, receiving 179 votes (0.007% of the votes cast). The organisation is widely regarded as neo-Nazi. Tore Tvedt announced his retirement on 17 November 2009, however, the organization appears to be still functioning, and still under his leadership. The name Vigrid is derived from the plain Vígríðr from Norse mythology. Apart from Tvedt, Vigrid has also been led by Thorgrim O. Bredesen.
