Who We Are
The Godsring Heathen Fellowship is an international faith organization dedicated to providing safe, welcoming spaces and affirming spiritual guidance to those who have chosen to live a spiritual way of life according to Germanic, Celtic, and Slavic folkways.
We specifically encourage, support, and affirm the interest and participation of those who are not of Northern European ancestry as well as those of queer, trans, and/or gender nonconforming experience.
What We Believe
- The Gods are real
- The Gods are distinct
- The Gods are innumerable
- Other faiths are legitimate
- There are multiple planes of reality
- Everything possesses a spirit
- Good and Evil are not absolute
- Old writings about the Gods are not more valid than modern understandings
- We can reach the Gods through offering and prayer
Our Way of Life
We care for our fellow humans, regardless of their religious beliefs, political orientation, ancestry, ability, or any other factor. We do not evangelize, nor do we display any preference for Heathen people over others. Any services we provide for the community are without expectation of reward or reciprocation.
We are stewards of our Mother Earth, and we strive to minimize the harm done to her by our human activities. We seek to inform ourselves and others about how these activities affect her, and about practical ways of caring for her.
We are an open community. We accept anyone who feels called to a spiritual way of living that understands and honors the Gods, the Worlds, and ourselves through the lens of the Germanic, Celtic, and Slavic cultures. We are not concerned with what our members can offer us, only with how we can be of service to our community.
