Modern heathenry

Modern heathenry is a contemporary spiritual movement that seeks to revive and practice ancient pre-Christian beliefs and traditions, primarily from Northern Europe, particularly those of the Norse and Germanic peoples. It emphasizes the worship of gods and goddesses such as Odin and Freyja, reveres nature, and honors ancestral traditions. Practitioners may engage in rituals, gatherings, and community events. Often described as polytheistic, modern heathenry can also include elements of folk traditions and personal spirituality, with an emphasis on personal connections to the divine and the natural world.
