About Us
In the Old English poem Crist I are the lines (104–108):
éala éarendel engla beorhtast
ofer middangeard monnum sended
and sodfasta sunnan leoma,
tohrt ofer tunglas þu tida gehvane
of sylfum þe symle inlihtes.
Hail Earendel, brightest of angels,
over middle-earth to men sent,
and true radiance of the Sun
bright above the stars, every season
thou of thyself ever illuminest.
The name of the evening star of Earendel was chosen to represent our inhíred because of its radiance, beauty and grace.
Earendel is currently located north of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. We incorporate worship of our gods, goddesses, elves, dwarves, and ancestors with true reverence for nature.
Greater Pittsburgh is a wooded, somewhat mountainous region located in Southwestern Pennsylvania, where rural Allegheny county offers both visitors and native Pennsylvanians alike the experience of scenic mountain settings and thriving northern agricultural farmlands.
We gather together for monthly húsles, seasonal feast days to honor the gods of our ancestors, and for special community events such as Pagan Pride Day. We also study the languages and old-world skills of the northern European peoples, such as mead making, learning to work and be one with the land and nature.
Earendel also believes that runic studies, both literary and divinatory, are crucial to Anglo-Saxon pagan learning. We study and discuss the Anglo-Saxon runes at our monthly húsles and take runic omens on each of our high holy days.
We are a closed group, however we enjoy discussion with those who are interested in Anglo-Saxon Pagan spirituality.
