A group of individuals dedicated to bringing together those in the Minnesota area who are drawn to the Northern ways so we can network and get to know each other. Heathenry is the indigenous cultural, mystical, and spiritual traditions of the Scandinavian, Germanic, Anglo-Saxon, Baltic, Slavic, and other Northern European peoples. Originating in Northern Europe, Heathenry today is no more "European" than Hinduism is "Indian" or Christianity is "Jewish." As we grow as a community we can combine our efforts to support local Kindreds and regional events so we can meet face to face.

We do not care if you are "folkish" or "universalist," — most of us fall somewhere in-between the two extremes.

When politics and rhetoric are set aside, we are all Heathen, which is all that really matters.

We are busy people and our free time is precious. We have no desire to waste your time or ours on racists, fascists, or "National Socialists" who try to use our lore to support their anti-Heathen, Christian-identity-based dogma. Minnesota has a significant traditionalist Native American population, however, which serves as a good example of the non-racist folkish view. Homophobia, also has no place here if for no other reason than we live in an area with a significant GLBT community. You don't have to like it and have a right to your beliefs, but the GLBT community is a part of our community.
