Odin Brotherhood

The Odin Brotherhood is the name of a group that practices the modern pagan religion of Heathenry.[1] The group first gained attention when Mark Mirabello published a book which describes the group and its beliefs, The Odin Brotherhood, in 1992.
Odin religion today
A second book about the group,The Way of the Odin Brotherhood by Jack Wolf, was published in 2013. [2]
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,[3] and the Odin Brotherhood is listed in the eighth edition of J. Gordon Melton's Encyclopedia of American Religions.[4] Other scholars and many in the Heathen community have expressed scepticism as to the Brotherhood's existence.
