=== Origins ===
[[File:Tønner Elgsent.jpeg|thumb|Tønner Elgsent, Nationalistic philosopher]]
The historical roots of Hirdism can be mainly traced back to Norgsveltian nationalistic and secular philosophers during the early and mid 1800s. Most being defined by their dislike of nobility and the Ulvriktru faith. Blaming them for what was seen as an overstretched and ineffective colonial empire that Norgsveldet established during that time. This is clarified in letters written by Gustaf Ederman, the leader of the NUNA during the 1920s, in which he proclaimed: “I am firmly convinced that Dveirleson’s ideals were most inspired by the works of Tønner Elgsent and Ylva Danidatur. In which Elgsent’s ideals of Organic Nationalism I would state has had the most impact on his ideals.”
==== Organic Nationalism ====
According to Gustaf Ederman Hirdism would not exist the way it does without the work of Tønner Elgsent having set said precedent. In which Elgsent’s works of Organic Nationalism should have said to help inspiring Dveirleson’s Hirdism.
Organic Nationalism is the idea that if a nation is meant to prosper and help its people the fundamental political establishment of said nation has to work for that goal. In which the ideal that a nationalistic democracy or an “Organic Democracy” should be established to ensure the national soul of the people comes to life. In which a more nationalistic society would emerge according to Elgsent which he called “True Nationalism” or “Organic Nationalism” as it one created organically by the people. In which he contrasted it with what he called for as the “Imperial Nationalism” or “False Nationalism” used by the Norgsveltian nobility. One which he argued had no other purpose but to line pockets of nobility instead of enriching the Norgsveltian people.
Elgsent was well known for his dislike of the colonial empire Norgsveldet has proclaimed that only lands settled by ethnic Norgsveltians should be controlled by Norgsveldet. He had a deep hatred of natives that were under colonial control and promoted the idea of deporting them to create “living space” for the Norgsveltian people. Through such actions can an “Organic Empire without noble elites” be established according to Elgsent’s views.
==== Radical Secularism ====
The second large influence on Dveirleson’s work has been suggested to be Ylva Danidatur and her book titled ‘Uten Guder Kommer Friheten’ (Without Gods There Comes Liberty). Danidatur being a 19th century writer in which she predicted in her book that the Norgsveltian colonial empire will collapse as a result of its overly hierarchical and religious nature. In which through said collapse that nation states will be born in which a new golden age of science and progress will be born. Promoting the idea of getting rid of all religious and spiritual beliefs that she proclaimed was holding people back. According to Danidatur’s book religious and cultural superstition should be replaced with heavy emphasis on science and modernity. That a society built on those ideals will rid nations of old traditions in its place a completely new society would be made. Stating in her book that: “With the death of empire a new society will be born, in which the nation shall be reborn around the ideals of modernity and secularism. Liberating us from the ideas of gods, and in its place progress will be our new god.”
Danidatur’s ideals can be seen repeated by Dveirleson’s work in the repeating of secular ideals and the idea of creating an entirely new society. As such inspiring his ideals of radical secularism. Though it had less impact if one compared it to Elgsent’s ideals.
