Mills also wrote a song, "Australia", with Henry Hedges, published in or around 1954. For over thirty years, Mills had a friendship and romance with schoolteacher Evelyn Louisa Price. They were married at Holy Trinity, Church of England, Surrey Hills, on 2 June 1951. At the time of their marriage Mills was 65, Price 62. Bruce Muirden relates that Mills continued to pursue compensation for his internment in the 1940s for long after his release and threatened to write about his experiences, 'still talking about a book' in 1961. 'His chaotic ideas changed little in his final years. He remained obsessively anti-Jewish, anti-Christian and anti-black.' Mills died on 8 April 1964, and is buried at Ferntree Gully Cemetery, Victoria; Evelyn died on 9 July 1973 and is buried with her husband. Curiously, considering Mills' avowed rejection of Christianity, both are buried in the Church of England section of the Cemetery. In 2021, an exposé in the Melbourne Age of Australian Neo-Nazis gave brief details of 'a ceremony inspired by Norse mythology, instructed by a tattooed Odinist at the grave of one of Australia’s first well-known neo-Nazis [sic], Alexander Rud Mills.' Legacy and influence on Germanic neopaganism Writing in the Australian Religion Studies Journal, A. Asbjørn Jøn characterised Mills as "obscure yet important", having played a "very significant role" in the development of Norse-oriented Neopaganism. During the 1960s, the Danish far right activist Else Christensen came across Mills' work while she was living in Canada. Although Christensen felt that many of Mills' ideas were too heavily influenced by Freemasonry for her liking, she was profoundly influenced by his ideas about reviving the worship of ancient Norse deities. Christensen subsequently established the Odinist Fellowship in 1969, then based from her mobile home in Crystal River, Florida. According to Australian historian of the far right, Kristy Campion, the Odinist religion had more influence in the United States than in Mills' native Australia. In the early 1970s, a group of Australian Odinists, who were students at the University of Melbourne, sought a guarantee from the Australian Attorney-General that if Odinism were formally revived it would not be persecuted (as, they claimed, Mills' church had been). Attorney-General Lionel Murphy pursued a course of allowing freedom of religion within Australia, and by the early 1990s the Odinic Rite of Australia had been granted legal status by the Australian government.
