The story

  2. English todayYnglism

Borrowed from Russian инглиизм (ingliizm). May be reanalyzed as Yngling (“a Scandinavian royal dynasty”) + -ism, in analogy with the Russian word. In Ynglist belief, the name refers to a fiery primordial radiance known as the "Ynglia" emanated by the supreme god Ramkha.
