  • The Odinic Rite (OR) is a pagan religion devoted to the Scandinavian Gods Influenced by Else Christensen's Odinist Fellowship, the Odinic Rite was founded in 1973 in England under the name "Committee for the Restoration of the Odinic Rite / Odinist Committee". In 1980 the organisation changed its name to "The Odinic Rite" after it was believed that it had gained enough significant interest in the restoration of the Odinic faith. The OR has chapters in France (ORF), Germany (ORD, 1995) [1], [2] and North America (ORV, 1997) and individual members spread over many other countries. It has legal status in the United Kingdom, Australia and various states in the United States. Odinic Rite Australia (ORA) is not a part of, affiliated to or endorsed by the original Odinic Rite. The basic unit of the Odinic Rite is the "Hearth", a group of adherents who gather to perform ceremonies known as Blóts or Blotar, at which they honor their deities and their ancestors. However, a large proportion of the members are lone practitioners. The motto or watch-words of the Odinic Rite are "Faith, Folk & Family". Odinic Rite is a folkish Asatru society. The main OR website as well as the website of the German chapter has a disclaimer to the effect that they are unpolitical. "Professed members" have sworn an oath of fealty to the gods and to the Odinic Rite society. They gain the right to wear a "torc", a small crescent-shaped shield made by themselves prior to profession, said to derive from a historical British military decoration (not to be confused with the Celtic "torque"). Members of the Odinic Rite are encouraged to live their lives according to the "Nine Noble Virtues" and the "Nine Charges" which are detailed below.
