New Page 2. Anglo-Saxon Paganism. Anglo-Saxon Paganism or Anglo-Saxon Heathenry is a modern religion based on the ancient pagan tribal religions of the Germanic tribes that moved into what is now England in the 5th century.
These tribes are generally thought to be the Angles, Jutes, and Saxons, although portions of other tribes such as the Frisians may have migrated also. It is therefore closely related to the ancient Norse pagan religion and shares many of the deities such as Odin (Woden) and Thor (Thunor). Modern Anglo-Saxon Paganism or Anglo-Saxon Heathenry was first revived by Garman Lord in 1976, and for years he remained its main mover and shaker. After several false starts with groups such as the Witan Coven, he founded the Wínland Ríce which for several years remained the major Anglo-Saxon Pagan organization.
In 1996, the Angelseaxisce Ealdriht was founded and it took the lead in Anglo-Saxon Paganism and this remained so until 2004 when it dissolved. The Pagan Federation - Home.

It aims to promote a positive profile for Pagans and Paganism and to provide information on Pagan beliefs to the media, official bodies and the greater community. The Pagan Federation regards membership of any organisations that refuse to support freedom of religion and equality of race, gender, and sexual orientation, as incompatible with our aims, objectives and values.

The Faery Faith In The Northern Tradition By Uldis (Originally published at Imbolc 1996) Within the streams of the Irish, Scots and Welsh Celtic traditions there is, for each, an underlying "Fairy Faith" or older tradition.
The British "Fairy Tradition" may be an echo or remnant of this Celtic heritage. Less evident, though still discernable, is a similar vein within the Northern Tradition. The Eddas tell of a war between Odin's Aesir and the Vanir, a family of fertility deities who date back to the Bronze Age. Perhaps it's possible to reach further back, to a time when gods and giants were just beginning to be distinguishable, one from the other. References to Rinda, Kari, Loge and Hler are sparse but meaningful. Rinda, Goddess of the Frozen Earth, is the one for whom most information is found in the texts.
There are only four runes which are both non-invertable and non-reversible: Isa, Gebo, Dagaz and Inguz. Hler completes this cycle with the element of water. Hallowed Halls of Northern Tradition.
