The Wolfpack Hamingja
The PNW Wolfpack is not here to replace other kindreds or Asatru organizations. Rather, we exist to help build active communities within the pacific northwest region. We are made up of independent clans and kindreds that are united in purpose for the education of our folk and connecting individuals and groups to other Asatruar in the PNW. We actively encourage members of other organizations to keep their unique identity as a kindred/organization, but encourage them to unite with us in our common mission of disseminating our Asatru religion and becoming active in the communities within our region. We believe active engagement with the larger body of the folk is a necessary development of our faith and will aid us in building strong and capable families, kindreds/clans and communities abroad.
If you are an individual not connected with a kindred or other organization, we are here to support you on your path by connecting you to other practitioners of our faith and folk-minded groups near you. We have a full educational learning center, active meet ups, festivals and our annual AlThing where all of the folk in the PNW come together. We can’t wait to see you at one of our events!
The PNW Wolfpack IS THE LARGEST asatru organization in the region with active members all over Washington, Oregon, Idaho and Montana. We are not just active with our own folk, but we also participate in community outreach projects that we are active in as a group; such as food drives, domestic violence support, prisoner outreach and rehabilitation mentoring programs and much more. Several of our members are actively involved with social programs through out the state. We believe in helping the communities that we live in, while strengthening our own.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are there any fees?
There is no fee to be a member of the wolfpack.
Is this a political group?
We are not a political organization. We are a non-profit religious organization that believes in the separation of church and state. While individual members of the wolf pack are entitled to have their own unique political views and beliefs, we as an organization do not involve ourselves in politics.
What does "folk" or "folkish" mean?
As an organization the PNW Wolfpack respects all unique cultures and religions. The word folk is used to imply things unique to our northern European culture i.e. gods, rituals, music, dancing, food, philosophy. Every culture is “folkish”, and when we use this word it represents the culture from which we are descended from.
