We are a working group, not just a website and forum. Our members include experts in Heathenry and related areas, as well as those in the process of discovering the Heathen Way. We have a diverse membership with ages ranging from 10 to 80 years! (Please note that Under 18’s need to have a supervising parent who is a member too.)
Benefits include:
- Opportunities to meet with other Heathens both on the website and at a range of face-to-face events across the country.
- A chance to share in serious discussions and help form presentations to Government and other statutory bodies.
- A place to share fun ideas and humour too!
- Supportive information for new Heathens or those starting to discover Heathenry. A real learning experience!
