In the wake of Manchester’s tragedy, we of Fyrnsidu stand in solidarity with all faiths. Violence against any religious community is an affront to wyrd and frið. We condemn hate and honour peace, holding fast to kinship, compassion, and the shared bonds of humanity.

Poignant. We're as thin in number as the veil itself. But that can also be a strength. Reach out, community is where you look for it.

Private polytheistic worship provides the underlying foundation for a stable religious practice in Fyrnsidu. The establishment of hearth cult is thus considered to be the most important exercise the individual Heathen can take religiously.

Cosmology in Fyrnsidu is a regular topic of discussion with some tantalising snippets of information obtained from ancient texts and sources. The beauty of Fyrnsidu is that it is up to you to form your own view of what feels right. The linked article can help you! No dogma!

The case for Æled – An Anglo-Saxon Fire God. Reconstruction in Heathenry is the practice of reviving and honouring pre-Christian religions by carefully researching and emulating historical beliefs, rituals, and cultural practices. And so, Beofeld makes the case for Æled. 🔥

The Gifting Cycle is basic but fundamental to Fyrnsidu. We like the term "Do ut Des", roughly translated to "I give so that you might give". It represents sacred reciprocity.
This is the foundation of the relationship we form between us and the gods.
