The Troth

The Troth is the international organization for inclusive Heathenry, bringing together the traditions people call Ásatrú, Forn Sed, Heathenry, Norse Paganism, Urglaawe and Anglo-Saxon Heathenry. Its self-description sets the tone: the welcoming inn on the roadside that invites all Heathens regardless of background to stop in, learn and restore themselves, with public services and a resource catalogue open to all.

The organization's training is its institutional core. The clergy program trains and ordains Elders who can legally officiate, and the Lore Program takes members deep into the sources; both sit inside an education and training structure that includes the Heathen Essentials course. The Troth publishes on beliefs, holidays, gods, rituals, history and spirits, maintains an FAQ and bibliography, and stewards community programs from in-reach and aid to Heathens in Recovery.

Its work is governed by bylaws and policies, with a Declaration 127 statement on inclusive practice, published events, a shop and membership. As the largest inclusive heathen organization, it carries the tradition's organizational load: clergy development, education, and community care across many countries. The institution's stated mission: To embody the spirit of reciprocity and service for our inclusive faith traditions.
