Supporting Old Norse religious life through tradition, education, ministry, and fellowship.
Hákonarætt, the House of Hákon, is a religious fellowship dedicated to preserving, teaching, and carrying forward the Old Norse tradition, and to supporting 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 charters local Kindreds and helps practitioners connect and form communities 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.

Hákonarætt provides religious education, correspondence, resources, and pastoral support for incarcerated individuals seeking to learn about and practice the Old Norse religious tradition.
Hákonarætt Fellowship offers a path of religious formation, discernment, and preparation for those called to serve as Gothar, the priests of the Hákonarætt tradition. Following formation, review, and approval, each Gothi is formally recognized, authorized, and set apart by the Fellowship.
