Welcome to The Odinic Rite
Folkish Odinism in the Modern World
Folkish Odinism in the Modern World
The Odinic Rite is an international organisation dedicated to the advancement of Odinism, a modern day expression of the ancient indigenous beliefs of our Northern Indo-European ancestors. Drawing on ancestral wisdom from the dawn of our folk, The Odinic Rite is a unique denomination of Odinism. We do not consider the Viking age to be the golden age of our people, but a part of the rich tapestry which contributes to our history and wisdom.
The Odinic Rite offers a home to those looking to reconnect with that history and wisdom and the opportunity to learn, grow and evolve both personally and spiritually amongst like-minded folk.
There are many benefits that come with membership of the world’s longest running, continually active Odinist movement. Some can be easily named, as below, but others must be experienced and will vary depending on the individual and how much they wish to advance both themselves and the Odinic Rite.

The OR has really provided a loose but structured guidance that has proven itself to be the model for both individuals and families looking to return to their ancestral religion; it truly is the embodiment of Odinism in the modern world.
The OR is my refuge having given me the spirituality and re connection with my ancient faith that I longed for and the community, strength and purpose for which I’ll always be grateful.
When I found the Rite, it opened up a spiritual pathway I never thought possible. I had goals and drive and determination once more and the OR gave me a compass to guide me on my journey.
I joined in 1991 and feel that I have found a family and have grown in spirit. I have not met an OR member that I would not trust my life with.
Being an isolated Odinist for years, I came across the Odinic Rite who offered not only deeper insights in Odinism, but it also opened up a whole world where I came to realise I wasn’t as alone as I had come to believe.
I loved the pan-Aryan focus of the rite along with the pan-Germanic tradition, the sense of camaraderie and professionalism. I immediately took to its international structure and hospitality to incarcerated members. We need a shield wall! Hail the Rite!
Joining the OR was like coming home after a long day at work. Welcoming, refreshing, but also challenging. I’m still fairly new, but in the time I’ve been here my faith and spirituality have blossomed out from a little budding flower to a rose in full bloom. It has filled me with pride to associate with these wonderful comrades and sisters
The OR is a forward thinking organisation, seeking to continually advance our religion; something we can all play an active part in. Over the last few years I have become a much better person and I have the OR to thank for that.
The O.R. is an organization founded on strong folkish principles and does not try to gain popularity by compromising these ideals. Since joining the O.R. I have gained a wealth of knowledge in Odinism through the O.R. forum and have begun the Odinist Theology & Philosophy Basic Foundation Correspondence Course.
I eventually joined after great thought was given in which direction I was taking in my faith. As I often say, “all roads lead to now” and I have yet to be disappointed with the road that has taken me to the OR. Hail the Awakening, Hail our Folk.
On joining the OR I was given a warm welcome and could feel I was amongst like minded folk. The OR has assisted with my spiritual growth and was there to answer any questions I had as well as leading me to some firm friends; I came home.me.
I feel that I have met a good group of like minded people that I look forward to spending more time with. I have also broadened my understanding of Odinism through the correspondence course and interactions with the good Folk of the OR.
I am a former incarcerated member of the OR who joined sometime in 2006. I met members of Blod Tru Hearth AOR; the Rite’s first prison Hearth and I was very impressed with the standards they upheld and their integrity. I had been a solitary Odinist since 1999, and the more I learned about The Rite, the more I learned a more advanced and heartfelt approach to being an Odinist in the Modern World.
In the OR I have met comrades and found family. Folk we had never met before invited us into their homes as we made a cross country trip, and have reached out to provide support to us in times of need. The OR is truly family and a bastion of faith and lifelong learning for me.
I was searching for a place where my family and I could develop spiritually, both exoterically and esoterically. We found all that and more in the Odinic Rite! Through membership within the Rite and the formation of The Northern Winds Hearth OR, we continue to grow with our advancements in NY State.
