Crucial to the practice of Fyrnsidu as a life way, is an understanding of the goals it is intended to serve, as well as the philosophical and religious principles that rest at its core. Fyrnsidu is a holistic faith, which means that our world-view and practice comprises a series of wholes, one within the other, and many interlinked, creating larger wholes which all transcend the sum of their parts. These wholes exist within concentric circles, expanding outward infinitely. The lore of Heathenry is replete with circles, for a circle has no clear end and no beginning, and can grow without breaking. The heathen universe is a living, evolving phenomenon, not a static one. Our doctrines are based in the traditions of antiquity, but the heathen of today lives in today. Our way is not an anachronism, nor is a simply a celebration of the past. It is a path toward a future that the Gods have envisioned, and toward which they help us strive.
The pages under this heading are designed to help you begin your exploration of the core principles and philosophical foundation of this vital and living tradition.
