The Way of the Heathen
In the latter days of the 20th century, the world of "millenial religions" and "spiritual movements," has produced a complex of literature, handy recipe books and titles both famous and obscure. In a manner of speaking, the Way of the Heathen could be said to be "in that world, but not of it."
The religous practice known as Theodism, outlined here, claims like many, to revive and recreate "the old religion;" but not like some others, with tongue in cheek. Theodism revives the long lost ancestral historical elder pre-Christian folk religion of the mediaeval Anglo-Teutonic tribal complex. Because it does so in all earnest, it features some important dimensional differences from the other literature of it's type. It is, for one thing, not your usual mystico-magical-feel-good "New Age" fluff-bunny- fantasia-hype-lore.
For another, the Way of the Heathen does not confine itself primarily to individualized spiritual evolution and enlighten-m-net... because that, in fact, was not the "way of the heathen."
The religion of the Heathen was not merely individual; it was primarily in it's modeling of this aspect that The Way of the Heathen shines as outstanding.
