Œðelland is a Houston, Texas based religious organization, dedicated to the
study and revival of an ancient Teutonic world-view that is centered on the
Bronze and Iron Age peoples of Jutland. We are Þéodisc, and by this we mean
that we are a folk who have come together to reconstruct Teutonic tribalism.
In doing so, we seek to regain that Teutonic concept of *Hailagaz; a concept
of whole holiness that was lost to us with the coming of Christianity, and
which is wedged further from us in modern society.

In our approach we use elder languages, such as reconstructed Proto-Germanic
and Old English, as our liturgical tongues. We also use elder titles and run
orders such as priest, esoteric, and warrior gilds. Þéodism or Þéodisc
Geléafa (Anglo-Saxon) is perhaps the most orthodox of the approaches to
Teutonic Heathenry.

However, our approach is not for everyone. We base our social structure on
those found among the ancient Teutonic peoples, this structure is highly
hierarchical, though it is merit driven as opposed to a caste driven
society. Given the strong hierarchy of the group, some people do not enjoy
"having a place" in said structure whereas they might prefer a more
egalitarian format. Here are some things to ask yourself:

Do you believe in the strength of family?

Do you believe in the strength of a community to pull together for some
greater purpose while not losing your individuality?

Do you believe that some people make better leaders than others? Can you
handle not being one of those people?

Do you believe that the Holy and rituals surrounding the Holy should be
taken seriously and be filled with meaning?

Are you a Gods- and community-centered person?

If you answered "yes" or "likely" to most of these questions, then Þéodish
belief might just be for you.
