About Heathens For Progress

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!
  • A chance to see all the positive aspects of Heathenry without prejudice.
  • A place where you can make a real difference and take positive steps toward helping support and develop the campaign for legal recognition of Heathenry.
  • Handy hints to help a Heathen lifestyle.
  • A place where most questions on Heathenry can be answered. Between us we have more skills, than Blue Peter, Can’t Cook – Won’t Cook and Gardeners World put together.
  • A place to make friends – both on line and in person.
  • A place where, as a group of people we appreciate someones first attempt!
