OUR NEXT SERVICE IS:

Thursday, Jan. 22nd: “Heathen & Hellenic 101- Foundations in the New Year”
10400 Warwick Blvd, Newport News, VA
Service 7:00–9:00 PM (Doors open at Setup at 6:30)

This month’s service is intentionally designed as a “101” gathering—a welcoming, no-pressure introduction to core ideas and practices in Norse Heathenry and Hellenic Paganism.

Whether you’re brand new, returning after time away, or have been practicing for years and want to reconnect with fundamentals, this night is for you.

We’ll explore:
• What Heathens and Hellenic Pagans actually believe
• The purpose and flow of sumbel, libation, and offerings
• How relationships with the gods work—without dogma or shame
• Common questions people are often afraid to ask (yes, we’ll ask them out loud)
• How an eclectic, interfaith kindred practices together with respect and integrity

This is a space for curiosity, honesty, and learning—not tests, judgment, or gatekeeping.

✨ All paths welcome.
✨ Questions encouraged.
✨ Doubt allowed.

All are welcome. All are honored.

Services are typically held on Thursday evenings.

Doors open at 6:30
Service runs from 7:00 - 9:00
Feasting is from 9:00 - 9:30
We say goodnight to our guests by 10:00

Refreshments, drink for ritual toasts, and grains for offerings are provided every service. Contributions for the communal feast are welcomed.

Personal offerings for the fire are always welcomed and encouraged no matter what path of faith you follow.

What To Expect

Here's what a typical service is like with our Kindred.

• Everyone is welcome — Whether you're Norse Pagan, Hellenic, another path, or just exploring, you're welcome in our circle.

• We begin with a horn and a call to gather — It sets the tone and brings our focus to the sacred work ahead.

• The Goði and Priestess guide the service — Through storytelling, prayer, ritual, and reflection, drawing from Norse and Hellenic traditions.

• We honor the gods, the ancestors, and the land — Through word, song, and offerings.

• Community participation is encouraged — You’re invited to join in responses, share a toast or story, or just observe quietly.

• There are moments of silence and moments of joy — Some parts are meditative, others are full of laughter, howls, and applause.

• Families and children are welcome — Many of our members bring their little ones, and we make space for them to be part of the community.

• No experience required — We provide guidance throughout, and you’re never expected to know everything.

• A feast or fellowship follows — Stick around, share a meal, and get to know your Kindred.
