Northern Hemisphere: Lencten-tíd Festival
2025-03-14 - 2025-03-15
While it is related the modern English word “Lent”, in Old English, Lencten-tíd simply means “Spring time”. In our calendar, the feast of Hréðe and Hludana takes place on or before the full moon in Hréð-mōnaþ.

Northern Hemisphere: Biikenbrennen
2025-02-21
As the first fitful stirrings of Spring draw near, it is an opportune moment for us in the modern Heathen community to honor the god Woden, and also celebrate our cherished relationships, drawing inspiration from both ancient warrior rituals and the tender farewells of Anglo-Saxon Age mariners.

Northern Hemisphere: Āwæcnungdæg

The First Day of Foran-lencten
The festival begins with Awakening Day, dedicated to the awakening of Gerd, the Goddess of the frozen Earth of the cultivated enclosure, and her symbolic retrieval by Ing-Frea, the god of fertility and growth.
This festival officially begins with the sundown on the day upon which the Full Moon is visible at Dusk. In 2025 we have placed it at Sundown on the 12th of February.
Nine nights later when the wedding of the god and goddess is sanctified by Woden, will be the celebration of Bēacnbærning or Biikeenbrennen.

Modern Ingwine Heathenship venerates the powerful feminine ancestral spirits known as Idese. These figures, associated with the Matres and Matronae of Northwestern Europe, are today seen as fertility goddesses, shapers of fate, and numinous beings who grant luck and prosperity to individuals and families.
