Heathenry is a modern pagan spiritual practice that draws inspiration from the ancient beliefs and traditions of the Germanic peoples, including the Norse and Anglo-Saxons. It often involves the worship of deities such as Odin, Thor, and Freyja, as well as the veneration of nature and ancestral spirits. Heathens may celebrate seasonal festivals, known as blóts, and engage in rituals that honor their gods and the natural world. Practitioners of Heathenry often emphasize personal experience and community involvement, with many forming groups called kindreds or halls. The belief system is diverse, allowing for various interpretations and practices, which can include elements of reconstructionism or folk traditions. Heathenry is characterized by its focus on honor, loyalty, and the interconnectedness of all beings.
