Folk-Greetings and Sun-Hael! 

As Founder and Folk-Warder of Woden's Folk I would like to welcome you to our Movement. Woden's Folk was founded on April 23rd 1998 after a profound mystical experience that I undertook; this experience led to the creation of this Folkish Movement aimed at reviving the most ancient Ur-Religion of the English Folk in a new form suited to the New Age - the Age of Ing. For nearly a decade now we have grown into one of the foremost Folkish Heathen Movements here in England, and we have gathered together a formidable group of activists who promote this English Faith and who have created a number of groups (WF Hearths) around England and overseas too.

Over the past 20 years or so I have come to realise that the English have a unique destiny within the Northern Folk, and that it is here in England that the Last Avatar will arise. This is a Folk-Deliverer who will wage war against the Forces of Darkness and Matter, and who was prophesied to appear in the White Island by various different traditions around the world - all stemming from the Folk-Wanderings of old. Woden's Folk was set up to prepare the way for the coming of The Hooded Man who is the Crowned and Conquering Son who will incarnate when the Hanged God is swallowed by the Wolf. This astronomical event will take place at the Winter Sunwend of Year 12 : Age of Ing (2012).

For the past few years it has become obvious that this land will be rocked by natural catastrophe and a breakdown in society that will create chaos, disorder and anarchy on a large scale. Catastrophic events such as flooding and earthquakes would make this society collapse into lawlessness, and it is our aim to prepare ourselves for such times, and to warn others of these so that they too can prepare themselves. United we stand - divided we fall! Where our warnings fall on stony ground there is little we can do, since the vast majority of the masses are little more than sheep being prepared for their fate as lamb chops!

What we need, as the English Folk, is a new religion based upon our most ancient Ur-Religion of the North; only a religion will override political differences and will unite the English as a Folk-Community once more. By the term "religion" we refer more to a way of life - where every act is a religious act. Our gods never left us, for it was we who cut the communications to them. All that is needed is for that line of communication to be remade and the gods will come back to us once more. This is done through ritual work and through our Folk-Moots.

When we talk of religious activities this is a far different concept than the dreary old stone buildings in which worship was made to an omnipotent "God" who ruled by fear. Our work is done around the Sacred Groves and the Ancient Sites of England, where we gather around a Holy Fire to do blot to our Gods and Ancestors. These blots are done around the camp-fire where we drink mead & ale and make boasts and toasts to our Gods and honour the Ancestors of our Folk. In short we enjoy ourselves in our worship, and we drink with our Folk-Comrades as a Folkish Brotherhood around the Holy Flame of our Folk. The Sacred Fire represents the Sun at the centre of the circle around which the Folk gather in blot. This is a religious rite followed by a social gathering around the camp-fire. It also prepares us for later struggles when we shall need to huddle around a fire to keep warm, and to gather with like-minded kindred in order to survive in a hostile world that collapses around us.

This land - England - has changed beyond belief in the last 60 years. Today we are "blessed" with the multi-racial society, made up of different "communities" all vying for a slice of the cake, and all claiming their own "rights". Outside of this - and completely left out - are the English who have prior claim to this land. We cannot blame anyone but ourselves, for had the people of this land had the guts (and the intelligence) to oppose this imposition, then today's England would be vastly different. Today the flood-gates are open and anyone seems to be able to get in; there are no checks on criminal gangs, on disease and virus-carriers which means a future of crime, vice, and epidemics unknown to us before. We can see signs of this right now. The false rulers of this country seem to care not one jot about the welfare of its people - "votes" are much more important, for they can only hold on to their lucrative jobs through this system of government.

In such a wasteland we see the final decay of a once great land and empire; we are at the end of this cycle, and thismeans that the future holds nothing but collapse and final destruction. This is the inevitable result of today's society based upon false ideas. For so long this land - and this world - has been held up by debt & credit; somewhere - and sometime - this has to come to an end - a final collapse. Together with the natural disasters we face (due to our being cut off from nature and the cosmic cycles) we face a future of disorder, anarchy and chaos in which everyone will be fighting for their individual survival. Such a result is inevitable in a land where society is based upon self-interest, egoism, and self-gain. The only antidote to this is the formation of Folkish groups founded on the principle of self-sacrifice for the whole, and for a healthy co-operation between blood-kin that will ensure the survival of our Folk at some level. This is the aim of Woden's Folk.

Wodenism is a Nature-Religion in that we uphold the Eternal Laws of Nature and hold our Folk-Moots outside at the ancient sites around England. Our All-Father is the Spirit of Nature and the ultimate force that pervades the multiverse; his is the animating force of the Cosmos. We are also a Warrior-Religion in that we recommend that our Folk take up some form of the Warrior Arts in order to defend themselves in a land fast falling into violent disorder. The figure of Woden as the One-Eyed Hunter-God (Herne the Hunter) is that of the God of Battle and the Virile Male Warrior Ethos which has been suppressed in our society - and which will eventually erupt in stark opposition to its suppression! To call Wodenism a "patriarchal" religion is to miss the point; there has been a total unbalance for some 1500 years or so since the Virile Male Warrior archetype and the Spirit of Nature were deemed to be "The Devil". The meek and weak religion of the past 2000 years was hardly that of the archetype of the Virile Male Warrior! Behind the facade was a lunar religion that was a mere reflection of the true Solar Religion of the Ancients - just as the Moon is a reflection of the Sun!

The true and original English Religion is based upon a balance of opposites - male & female polarities - which is the basis of The Hooded Man Prophecy. This prophecy was given to me on October 31st 1993 and is based upon the ancient Prophecies of Gildas but is in a slightly altered form, a form whose alterations prove it to be the new form for the New Age. This has as its basis the balance of Light & Darkness which is held in the individual and in the Folk as a group. This is the aim of our work at one level. Not only is Wodenism a religion but it is also a Spiritual Discipline for the individual, but as part of a wholeness - the Folk. This Spiritual Discipline centres around the Ar-Kan Rune-Lag system which is my own runic system based upon the 33 English Runes, and worked around the idea of the Wera - The Solar Warrior. This system is in its early development but in the years to come it will be forged into a true and unique runic system for the English Folk and eventually for the Northern Folk as a whole. This is part of the Inner Order of Wodenism - the Cult of Woden.

Woden's Folk offers an all-round religion and spiritual discipline to the English Folk, our aim being to restore the English Identity and to take the fate of the English back into our hands so as to ensure our survival as a Folk. On January 1st 2007 the English Movement was formed within Woden's Folk so as to restore the English Identity, and to preserve English Culture and English Tradition - see www.englishmovement.org.uk. This is a vital part of the growth of our Movement.

We welcome like-minded kinfolk into the Movement, either as WF Supporters (who subscribe to our magazines) and WF Activists (who get fully active within a WF Hearth or as Lone-Wolf Activists). There is room for anyone who is English, proud and who upholds the values of English Heathendom. Too long have we suffered under an alien yoke; it is now time to regain our own - our identity, our ancient religion that binds us, and our land that has been stolen from us through the work of traitors within our midst!

Honour & Loyalty!

Wulf - Founder & Folk-Warder : Woden's Folk.
