Geferræden Fyrnsidu

About me:

Fyrnsidu is an Old English term meaning “The Old Ways”. We use this term today to refer to the spiritual and religious practices of the so-called “Heathen” Germanic peoples, specifically, the Anglo-Saxons. These ancient peoples had a way of life that recognized the interconnectedness of all things; the physical, spiritual and mental realms, and the natural cycles which govern all living creatures. This way of life was, and still is highly ethical and holistic. Fyrnsidu is not an historical recreation, it is a living religion based o­n the tenets and world-view of the “Heathen” Germanic peoples. Our way is not an anachronism, although we draw great strength from the traditions of our ancestors. Rather, Fyrnsidu is a dynamic, growing faith for the present, but deeply rooted in the past.

Due to some misunderstandings about the meaning of the term “Anglo-Saxon” it is worth noting that this is a LINGUISTIC TERM, NOT A RACIAL ONE. The Fellowship practices the pagan religion of the English. If you are thinking in English right now, that means you are “Anglo-Saxon” regardless of your skin color or country of origin.
