Heathenism

The Wanderer Anglo Saxon History, mythology, and religion

In this episode, we look at Heathenism both old and modern.

We look at how Heathenism has been reconstructed as well as heathenism of over a thousand years ago. Heathenry, also termed Heathenism, contemporary Germanic Paganism, or Germanic Neopaganism is a modern pagan religion. Developed in Europe during the early 20th century, its practitioners model it on the ancient Heathenism adhered to by the germanic peoples. In an attempt to reconstruct these past belief systems, Heathenry uses surviving historical, archaeological, and folkloric evidence as a basis, although approaches to this material vary considerably.
