Welcome

The Wanderer Kindred

Welcome to The Wanderer Kindred’s website. We are a group of dedicated men & women who follow the ancient spiritual beliefs named Asatu. Asatru is translated simply as “belief in the gods” in Old Norse. Many see Asatru as a religion, but it is much more than that, it is a lifestyle. The same lifestyle, in fact, that was used by our ancestors of yore. Asatru is the ancient pre-Christian religion of the Northern European people dating back thousands and thousands of years.

Within the last 30 years Asatru has made a comeback in Vinland. It is an organized religion comprised of hundreds of Kindreds throughout the United Sates and thousands worldwide. Our Kindred, The Wanderer Kindred, is located in the Phoenix metro area but more specifically the East Valley. We are also an official kindred of The Asatru Alliance.

Upcoming Kindred Events

Horning (February) 14th
The Feast of Vali

in Queen Creek, Arizona.

Many Heathens make blessing to the god Vali at this time and generally enjoy the day. Many use it to celebrate the death of Hodr by Vali, avenging Balder, the son of Odin. It is considered a late winter festival related to the triumph of the sun over the dark days of winter. Noting the familial tie bewteen Vali and Odin, it is held as a celebration of the family and Asatruar exchange cards and gifts with loved ones just like everybody else. It is also a time for the renewal of marriage vows and an occasion for marriages/handfastings.
