About The Troth

The Troth is an international organization of people who are working to reclaim and rebuild the pre-Christian religious traditions of the peoples of ancient Germany, Anglo-Saxon England, and Scandinavia, collectively known most commonly as Heathenry. We welcome all who are drawn to the gods, myths, and values of these old ways. We publish a quarterly journal, Idunna, which features both scholarly articles and more personal and intuitive writings, poetry, regular columns, and artwork. We also publish a growing line of books of interest to Heathens, from practical handbooks and guides to translations of ancient texts. Members can also take advantage of our training programs in clergy service and in lore study. Visit our website at http://www.thetroth.org/ to learn more about us. Wassail!
