What is Paganism?
Paganism is a broad term used to describe a variety of spiritual or religious practices that are often rooted in nature worship, polytheism (belief in multiple deities), and ancient traditions. Historically, the term was used to refer to non-Abrahamic religions, including those practiced in Pre-Christian Europe. Modern Paganism, also known as Neopaganism, encompasses a range of belief systems such as Wicca, Druidry, Heathenry, and other eclectic or reconstructionist paths. At its core, Paganism often emphasizes harmony with nature, seasonal cycles, and individual spiritual freedom, without rigid dogma or centralized authority. While ancient Pagan practices were diverse and culturally specific, today’s Pagans may draw inspiration from these traditions while blending them with contemporary values and personal beliefs.

Kindred vs. Coven: What's the Difference?
In the realm of modern Paganism, the terms "kindred" and "coven" are often used to describe different types of spiritual or community groups, but they are not interchangeable. A pagan kindred typically refers to a group associated with Heathen traditions, such as Asatru or other Norse-based practices. Kindreds often emphasize familial bonds, shared cultural heritage, and community rituals centered around deities like Odin, Freyja, and Thor. On the other hand, a pagan coven is most commonly linked to Wiccan or witchcraft traditions, where a group of practitioners gathers to perform rituals, celebrate Sabbats, or engage in magical workings. Coven members often follow a structured hierarchy and work closely with deities such as the God and Goddess, focusing on balance, duality, and personal spiritual growth. While both kindreds and covens provide a sense of community and shared practice, their differences lie in their spiritual focus, structure, and cultural roots. Understanding these distinctions can help you find the group that aligns with your spiritual path.
This is where our kindred is different, as it is a mixture of both. We blend together in fusion. Our members are not all strictly Norse/Heathens. We have many with more spiritual or differing Pagan paths.
