Odin Brotherhood

The Odin Brotherhood is the name of a group that practices the modern pagan religion of Heathenry. The group first gained attention when Mark Mirabello published a book which describes the group and its beliefs, The Odin Brotherhood, in 1992. A second book about the group,The Way of the Odin Brotherhood by Jack Wolf, was published in 2013.

According to Mirabello's account, the Brotherhood alleges to be the direct survivor of an ancient pre-Christian belief system. Mirabello's book has been mentioned in several publications about religions and secret societies, and the Odin Brotherhood is listed in the eighth edition of J. Gordon Melton's Encyclopedia of American Religions. Other scholars and many in the Heathen community have expressed scepticism as to the Brotherhood's existence.
