A hearty Waes Hal 
Welcome to Kindred-UK, an independent Heathen networking site.
The reason behind this group is simple. A group that will hopefully grow to encompass many individuals, hearths, groups and kindreds, all working together yet keeping their own individuality. Practising their own rituals, walking their own path. We are not here to tell you how to blot, approach your Gods or any other aspect of Heathen belief. A place to share knowledge, experience and friendship, to learn and grow as a larger community.
A dream filled vision yes, but not an impossible one.
We have many reasons behind founding this group. To meet other Heathens, to hopefully build a sound knowledge resource encompassing many flavours of Heathenry where everyone from the very experienced to the merely curious will find something to learn or to provoke thought, to educate non Pagans/Heathens to our many ways and other pagan traditions too, to foster relations with other Heathen and Pagan groups, and all the others that don’t spring to mind right now!
An aim that isn’t so popular is recognition. This is a possible future aim. After the group has gathered all it can about who our members are and what there needs and opinions are. Build up slowly, be sure we are ready then advance on specific campaigns, Heathen funerals, legal Handfastings, on issues where we can find basics common to us all.
Our belief has hidden long enough in the shadows, time it came out me thinks, where it belongs .
We love meeting people, always have. We've meet some of the kindest people within the pagan community and want to meet more. You can never have too many friends, and so Kindred-UK is here to hopefully provide a meeting place for like minded folk.
Don’t be put off by that last section. It is only a possible future aim right now and membership of this group will never be taken as support of any possible future campaigns, if that happens a sister site will be formed for supporters.
This message will more than likely be amended over time, so dont panic and run OK!
