		Heathenry Heathen ÃsatrÃº as Shamanism focuses on the discovery and comprehension of the mysteries and magic of the land itself with the Heathens honoring the nature spirits of the waters, trees, and rocks, more than on the mythos of the goddesses and gods.
		Within a Christian context, Paganism (from Latin paganus) and Heathenry are catch-all terms which have come to connote a broad set of spiritual/religious beliefs and practices of a natural religion, as opposed to the Abrahamic religions.

	BBC - Religion & Ethics - Heathenry: Introduction
		Heathenry is a term used to describe the religious practices of two main groups of people, one historical and one modern.

	Heathenry - Article about Heathenry
		Heathenry is one of several modern revivals of historical Germanic paganism.
		Heathenry differs from Ásatrú in North America in being generally more rooted in the landscape (Blain, 2002a, Harvey 2006 forthcoming) and in this may possibly be more akin to Ásatrú in Iceland and similar religious expression in Scandinavia.
		Heathenry relates to both the practices and worldviews of Heathens and to the practitioners - thus Heathenry can mean people who are Heathen, or what they do.

	Neofolk - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Neofolk can either be solely acoustic folk music or a blend of acoustic folk instrumentation aided by varieties of accompanying sounds such as pianos, strings and elements of industrial music and experimental music.
		Homages and tributes to controversial figures such as Friedrich Nietzsche, Julius Evola, and Leni Riefenstahl as well as the usage of war themes, imagery and historical imagery by some musicians have drawn misguided criticisms and links between neofolk and right wing establishments from various sources.
		Of particular mention is Heathenry, or Germanic Neopaganism.

	Heathenry
		The term 'heathenry' can be used to denote both the ancient pagan religion of the Germanic peoples and modern reconstructed versions of that religion such as Ásatrú.
		One of the central concepts in Heathenry is wyrd, the force that connects everything in the universe throughout space and time.
		The three most widespread heathen holidays today are Winternights, an autumn feast heralding the end of the agricultural season and the coming of winter; Yule, a twelve day celebration beginning on (or near) the winter solstice; and a feast of the goddess Eostre (or Ostara) in the spring.

	Heathenry Asatru
		Heathenry was the Heathen religion of the Ásatrú and the Vanatrú, the Way of the Troth of the Aesir and Troth of the Vanir.
		The Heathenry Heathen Ásatrú Sacred Pathway has also been referred to as Heathen Norse Heathenry, Germanic Heathenry, and Ásatrú, an Icelandic term derived from two aspects of the Heathen "Faith in the goddesses and gods", "Ása", a Genitive of Æsir that refers to the goddesses and gods, and "trú" meaning faith.
		Although other Germanic tribes shared the same mythos and traditional stories which were memorized by their skalds (bards and poets), people think of the goddesses and gods as Norse mainly because most of the recorded folk beliefs and stories that survived the vagaries of the passage of time were written by Scandinavians...

	Humanistic Heathenry - current draft as of 10/16/2003
		Secular humanists contend that issues concerning ethics, appropriate social and legal conduct, and the methodologies of science are philosophical and are not part of the domain of religion, which deals with the supernatural, mystical and transcendent.
		Humanistic Heathenry is not a religion and it is not Asatru.
		According to ancient Heathenry, in order to obtain respect and a secure position within their society, it was necessary to become a strong, self-reliant and wise person, and that required experience, maegin and "luck," all of which could be obtained through acting well.

	Germanic Neopaganism - WiccanWeb.ca (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		The terms Ásatrú ("Æsir faith"), Odinism, Forn Sed ("Old custom", Anglo-Saxon fyrnsidu), Heathenry (from the Old Norse heiðinn), Germanic Heathenry, Theodism and other terms are used as descriptors for those who adhere to the belief system encompassed by the term Germanic Neopaganism.
		Consequently, some actions which other religions condemn wholesale, may be considered virtues in Heathenry, as long as they are carried out shrewdly and in accord with personal honour, both in the eyes of the individual and the community.
		More mystical currents of Heathenry may be critical of industrialization or modern society, but even such criticism will focus on decadence, lack of virtue or balance, rather than being a radical criticism of technology itself.

	Gamall Steinn [GL] Right Good Will
		In fact, the main thing that has worked to prevent modern heathenry from evolving beyond Wicca with drekkahorns into a real religion is that human evil is always just as shamelessly on display in it everywhere, with no clue to be found within the heathen religious thesis itself on what to do about it.
		Modern heathenry is a tiny community, full of the kind of treacherous cutthroat politics that guarantee that it will always remain so, with no sane functional moral advantage or rationale to offer newcomers as a reason for them to join it and help it grow.
		Thus heathenry is caught in an historical trap reminiscent of what Henry Kissinger once said about the politics of academia: that the reason academic debates are so bitter is because the stakes are so small.

		With personal evaluation you are deciding how the information in the lore, and the practices of Heathenry as a whole affect you and your own beliefs.
		In essence in studying the lore, you are learning the tools Heathenry uses to enact religious beliefs.

		Heathenry is not initiatory, and there are no secrets.
		Moreover, while a distinction is made between clergy and laity, and some heathen organizations have some kind of rank or status within the organization, there's no shared idea of a progression between levels, with ever growing wisdom and spiritual insight.

	History of Anglo-Saxon Heathenry
		Anglo-Saxon Heathenry's ancestry rests in the tribal religions of the Germanic peoples on the North and Baltic Sea shores of Europe.
		Modern Anglo-Saxon Heathenry is not and cannot claim to be an authentic reconstruction of the ancient religion.
		Modern Anglo-Saxon Heathenry is therefore a synthesis of many Germanic traditions and beliefs that have been interpreted using the best scholarship in modern Germanic Heathenry.

		There is a practice in modern Theodish heathenry of not immediately admitting prospective members into full membership.
		Different individuals have different ‘worths’, and to them it would not be at all unfair to say that some heathens are better than others in their heathenry, just as that some fighters fight better than others, or some researchers do a better job of researching than others.
		Heathenry of all sorts has quite a clear code of conduct and expectation of behavior and values from its members.

		Heathenry is a reconstruction of the pre-Christian religion and magic of the Germanic speaking peoples of north and western Europe.
		Heathenry continues in this tradition, in contradistinction to some contemporary paganisms which may have no literal belief in the gods, or may be duotheistic (having a god and goddess) or even monotheistic (such as some extreme forms of goddess worship).
		Heathenry is not just a magical path, but a social and religious one.
