Supporting Old Norse religious life through tradition, education, formation, and fellowship.
Hákonarætt, the House of Hákon, is a religious fellowship dedicated to preserving, teaching, and carrying forward the Old Norse tradition. Through education, formation, resources, and fellowship, we support practitioners and the growth of enduring local religious communities.
We receive and live the Old Norse tradition with reverence for the Gods, remembrance of the ancestors, and respect for the landvættir.
Guided by the Eddas, sagas, and inherited practice, we carry the tradition forward with honor and frith.
Hákonarætt helps practitioners connect and form independent local kindreds rooted in the shared tradition.
Hákonarætt Institute of Eddic Studies (HIES) is the educational ministry of Hákonarætt Fellowship, dedicated to structured online study of the Old Norse religious and literary tradition.
