The Freehold Kindreds are our local congregations and are analogous to a local church, mosque, temple, or synagogue of other faith groups. They are the Freehold’s primary way to interact with and support Heathens. We expect those who lead our Kindreds to be familiar with Heathen lore, basic helping skills, and ritual design.
If you are interested in forming a Provisional Kindred in your community, you will need to be a Freehold member and complete an application for the Witangemot to review. Once you have reached the requirements of becoming an Established Kindred, you will need to petition the Althing for recognition.

The best thing would be to tell us your location, and then we can compare it to the locations of the kindreds. I am the Clerk of the Freehold, so I maintain that kind of information. Come to think of it, Aaron Brookes could update my information. I will send him a message, too. – Garth Spencer, Vancouver – garth.van.spencer@gmail.com
