Web of Wyrd Hall Bylaws and Mission Statement

Web of Wyrd Kindred Bylaws and Mission statement.

1.The mission of this Hall is to honor the Norse Pagan/Proto Germanic gods and goddesses. To work closely with the Landvaetter and our Ancestors. To build a community with like-minded people who share Forn Sidr beliefs and values. If we don’t fit your needs, we will send you to right kindred. Web of Wyrd is a learning and spiritual Hall. We are not a warrior/drinking /larp kindred.

For us to accomplish this, we strive to promote respect and understanding of our beliefs and traditions. We also strive to connect with the pagan community. We also strive for clear communication between us and other Norse Pagan/Pagan communities.

This Hall is a community who share common interest, who want to a deeper understanding of the mysteries of the Northern European peoples to find harmony with the land spirits and to honor their ancestors. We welcome those who seek to reconnect with the traditions, values, beliefs, and discover their path so, we all can walk it together, no matter who we are.

2. Web of Wyrd goals and values

As a kindred we strive to create a welcoming and inclusive atmosphere, fostering towards everyone’s individual needs. We commit ourselves to preserving and promoting traditions, values and beliefs of the Proto Germanic and Old Norse.

We understand that connecting with ancestors is a private and challenging concept. Sometimes going back to Ancestral ways means looking at yourself as a individual, confronting old belief systems, distortions, and also the perversion of our symbols and mythology and make it ours again.

We foster an environment of learning and growing, while building mutual respect, support and understanding. We build bonds of kinship through honor, hospitality and community. Education and spiritual growth is our main objective. We also provide a safe space for guest, regardless of who they are and their beliefs. Web of Wyrd does not tolerate hate speech of any kind, we are a safe kindred for all people. We also choose quality over quantity, so we make sure everyone fits.
