Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Infobox organisation Eldaring is a German heathen organisation founded in 2000 and launched in 2002. It operates as an umbrella organisation for local groups and independent practitioners.
History
Eldaring began in 2000 as a private Internet mailing list before it officially was registered as an organisation in 2002.Шаблон:Sfn The name is derived from the Old Norse word eldr which means "fire".Шаблон:Sfn It initially functioned as the German branch of the American organisation The Troth but eventually became independent.Шаблон:Sfn It was active in the World Congress of Ethnic Religions from the mid-2000s to 2009.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Efn As of October 2022, Eldaring has more than 500 members.[1]
Beliefs and activity
A text listed as a "basic article" on Eldaring's website defines heathenry as a religion based on nature, experience and transmission of wisdom. The article says that heathens value deeds over abstract values and life in the world over otherworldly salvation, and rejects the Christian conception of good and evil, the division between secular and spiritual and the concept of original sin.Шаблон:Sfn Elsewhere, Eldaring officials have associated their views with Шаблон:Ill's and Jan Assmann's concept of "primary religion", which refers to religions that have evolved within a culture, society and language, rather than having been revealed.Шаблон:Sfnm
Eldaring operates as a network of Germanic neopagans. The members generally regard religion as a private matter and are not expected to commit to the organisation, beyond using it as a platform for contacts and service. Members can be active in local divisions called Herde (Шаблон:Literal translation), local blót groups, special interests groups, and participate at annual events.Шаблон:Sfn The blót rituals may take place around a fire and include sacrificial gifts and libations in veneration of gods and ancestors.Шаблон:Sfn Eldaring generally emphasises the reliance on academic research for the reconstruction of pre-Christian practices,Шаблон:Sfn but recognises that not much documentation exists in many cases.Шаблон:Sfn Like The Troth, it views the Poetic Edda as a source for references and orientation, which should be supplemented by summaries of academic research.Шаблон:Sfn The organisation generally rejects folkloristic sources, although some members have argued in favour of making exceptions.Шаблон:Sfn
Eldaring publishes the magazine Herdfeuer (Шаблон:Literal translation) since 2003.Шаблон:Sfn It is politically neutralШаблон:Sfn but has as a stated goal to increase public awareness and acceptance of its religious views.Шаблон:Sfn
