A community-maintained tertiary reference on Heathenry as a modern religious movement, directly examined. Its strength is naming both the historical texts the movement draws on and the honest range between reconstructionist and eclectic practice within it; its limit is a Wikipedia community article rather than a new religious movements monograph, which is why it sits at reliability tier three.
