Súþfolc Heorþ

We hold this griðowær to be true and good, and bind ourselves to it by our freely pledged word. We hold this griðowær open to all others who would themselves be kenned as Anglo-Saxon Heathens and who openly pledge likewise. May Anglo-Saxon Heathendom ever wax in weal and grow in the sight of its Gods.

To this pledge we set our hand and give our word, on this the fourth day of Þrimilchi, the year 2012 CE.

For more info on this pledge, check out: Griðowær

The latest edition of Hex Magazine, Issue 8, has an article called “Creating Community in the modern world”, we should all read this!

some excerpts:

“Fosterage

Another way we can build cohesion is by having our kids stay for periods of time with other members of the community.”

“Simple living

Group cohesion isn’t possible if we are spending our time obsessing about the latest consumer craze. I think it’s important for people to expect that prospective members of the community are trying to live consciously, buying what they feel really adds quality of life and not just buying things due to rampant consumerism. This helps separate the group from the undifferentiated masses of consumers, and it helps free up resources that can be used for group projects.”

June 18th we had a Midsummer Feast. The feast included hamsteaks, biscuits, grapes, fried apples, watermelon, and cherry pie. It was a small get together, but still rather enjoyable and yummy.

Holy Noms
