Camp Kvasir 2026 The Order Of The Wolf hosted our 6th annual Camp Kvasir in the Olympic National Rain Forest this past weekend. We spent 4 days immersed deep into nature mentoring our young folk. Our curriculum focuses deeply on 7 core pillars: 1) ​Lore: Deep immersion in the myths and histories of our folk. 2) ​Runes: Mastery of the sacred Futhark alphabet. 3) ​Primitive Survival Skills: Friction fire craft, emergency shelters, and water purification. 4) ​Hunting & Trapping: Building functional woodland traps and tracking wild game. 5) ​Character Building: Strengthening the spirit to withstand modern elements. 6) ​Leadership Skills: Giving older youth direct responsibility over the safety and education of their pack. 7) ​Sacred Rites: Honoring the Aesir Gods and experiencing genuine tribal rites of passage. We are looking to grow this program in surrounding regions. If you are interested in helping this program grow in your area please reach out to us.

THE ORDER OF THE WOLF PRESENTS: CAMP KVASIR 2026 The 6th Annual Youth Training & Rites of Passage Gathering ​Dates: Thursday, June 25th – Sunday, June 28th, 2026 Location: Olympic National Forest, near Forks Washington Ages: 9–18 (Youth under 9 are welcome to attend as "Pups," provided a parent camps and participates alongside them). OUR MISSION & TRADITION ​In 2021, The Order of the Wolf organically emerged in the Pacific Northwest as a circle of spiritual elders within local heathen communities. Our dedicated purpose is to establish a living tradition for our youth—mentoring the next generation into physically strong, mentally awake, and morally straight leaders of our folk. ​Through hands-on training and the strict oral transmission of ancestral ways, our youth forge an unbreakable warrior spirit. For the past five summers, Camp Kvasir has served as our ultimate crucible. To accommodate our rapid growth and welcome families traveling from across the country, we have officially expanded camp to a 4-day intensive this year. Donation- There is no Mandatory fee, however we do suggest a donation to help pay for food, supplies, awards and prizes. Suggested donation is $150 2026 THEME: "THE SACRED TREE" ​Following last year's milestone theme of "Becoming a Wolf," where our oldest Ulflings stepped into vital pack leadership roles, this year we turn our focus to The Sacred Tree. ​The forest is our playground, and the tree is our teacher. This summer, our collective teams will camp, compete, and study under the canopy of the Pacific Northwest, mirroring the watchful vigilance of the squirrel Ratatoskr on the World Tree, Yggdrasil. Our curriculum focuses deeply on 7 core pillars: ​Lore: Deep immersion in the myths and histories of our folk. ​Runes: Mastery of the sacred Futhark alphabet. ​Primitive Survival Skills: Friction fire craft, emergency shelters, and water purification. ​Hunting & Trapping: Building functional woodland traps and tracking wild game. ​Character Building: Strengthening the spirit to withstand modern elements. ​Leadership Skills: Giving older youth direct responsibility over the safety and education of their pack. ​Sacred Rites: Honoring the Aesir Gods and experiencing genuine tribal rites of passage.

THE HOPE FOR TOMORROW Raven Folk's push for Tribal Land Ever since I was a child, I have seen certain truths clearly through modern propaganda. Through countless generations of targeted manipulation, people have slowly been enslaved, one link at a time. I recall the campfires of youth and the simplicity of family and community; of song and love. This has been and will always be our strength. My reputation precedes me as a man of war. Alas, in such a time as this, our men must be men. But my true heart and my most passionate dream for the future is that of a community of safety, devotion to our Gods, and a community that loves each other. Outward, we must still have warriors. This is nature and we are wolves, but inward, as we shake free from the shackles of modern times, all egos and illusion can also be lost. Let us once again love one another as we are family. As we set forth to plant our flag in our own soil and declare a capitol for our homeland, let this undertaking resonate with each and everyone of the Raven Folk citizens. This tribal Folk Nation is yours! This campaign is your glory! OUR Kingdom will conquer for the Folk and then we will create a place for future generations to thrive! The magnitude of what we are trying to accomplish is heavy, and as we begin our push I hope each and everyone of you are excited to help us hoist this banner high! Hail Raven Folk United!

Welcome PNW Wolfpack! Raven Folk United has been working diligently to create a community that unites our folk within a framework that allows for the uniqueness of individuals and kindreds while adhering to traditional values and standards at a larger organizational level. We have been growing steadily. We have adapted, improvised, and overcome challenges to benefit our community through strengthened foundational principles and learned customs. These structural elements inform us on direction, purpose, and action that will allow us to forge bonds with our wider heathen communities. We are proud and humbled to announce our newest alliance with the Pacific North West Wolfpack. Our organization has much to learn from theirs and cherishes their willingness to share in this heavy endeavor to revive a holy relationship with our Gods and Ancestors. Together we will succeed in growing a community to secure the bright and prosperous future of our families. ⚡ ravenfolkunited.org

One people, One Purpose Folk of the PNWWP, We stand at a moment that calls for clarity, courage, and action. The future of our folk will not be secured by standing still or by clinging to what is familiar. It will be shaped by the choices we make now—by who we stand with, how we build, and how we carry our responsibilities forward. For the past three years, our leadership has watched Raven Folk United (RFU) closely and worked alongside them in real ways. We have collaborated on the lived praxis of our religion, on leadership ethics, on community standards, and on how we build healthy, accountable structures for our people. This has not been distant observation, but shared labor and shared responsibility. RFU was formed when corruption within the AFA came to light and leadership failed to act in ways that protected the vulnerable. Rather than remain bound to a structure that had lost the trust of the folk, those who founded RFU chose to part ways and take on the harder work of building something new, grounded in accountability and responsibility to the people. After long and deliberate discernment, PNWWP leadership has taken the step to make our collaboration with RFU official. This is a decision we believe places our church in the strongest position to grow in the right way going forward. We have weighed this for well over a year, with care for our people and the long future of our communities. Kindreds, houses, and individuals are encouraged—but not required—to follow this path. Each local community must choose what is most right for their people and their land. Many among us are already members, and this step reflects a reality that has been steadily taking shape. This affiliation expands our reach and strengthens our position in the wider world. It opens doors to nationwide kinship and fellowship, to networks and circles across the country, and to deeper coordination between communities who share our values. We believe this step contributes to one of the most significant movements toward unity among our folk in our time. At the same time, we speak plainly about what does not change. Our standards remain our own. Our structure and bylaws remain intact. Our kindreds retain their autonomy and their right to organize their local communities as they see fit. This affiliation reflects shared values and shared direction while honoring who we are. We continue to proudly fly the Wolf banner, even as we now hoist the Raven banner alongside it. Odin’s ravenous wolves and soaring ravens now work together toward common purpose. The future of our folk will be shaped by those willing to build with intention and to stand in right relationship with one another. We take this step with clear eyes and steady hands, for those who stand with us now and those who will come after. In service to the folk, PNWWP Leadership

It is time to gather our folk home. It is time to share what we know with those who feel the old call stirring in them. It is time to speak the wisdom we carry, not in arrogance, but in invitation. Let Wotan guide your steps. Let the voices of our ancestors, singing in your blood, be heard in your words and your deeds. Speak to your neighbor. Speak to your friend. Awaken that sleeping godspark gifted to us through Ask and Embla, and be the spark that becomes a fire we can all be warmed by. This is the work of now.

We stand here now as men and women of the folk, in this time and in this land. We gather in knots and kindle small fires. We form circles to make blot to our gods. Often we are thirty, or fifty, and sometimes fewer—men, women, and children bound for a night by rite and shared breath. These gatherings are good and beautiful. They are living proof that the old ways still walk among us. And yet we feel how scattered we are. We feel the thinness of the threads that bind us across long roads and wide lands. We feel how fragile it can be to keep the old names alive when we stand so far apart. Still, we come together. Still, we speak the names of Wotan, Freyr, Balder, and the Asa. Still, we make the offerings and keep the seasons. This is not small work. This is the work of keeping a people from forgetting themselves. We do not speak against the paths of others. The world is wide, and many walk many roads. But we do speak to our own. We call our folk home to the ways that shaped us, to the gods who know our names, to the stories that taught our ancestors how to stand upright in a hard world. We call our children home to the songs, the rites, the seasons, and the living memory of our traditions, so that they may grow knowing who they are and where they come from. We do not speak against others. We do not have time to waste on slander. That time is better spent calling our people home. We feel the strain in the world-tree. Nidhog gnaws at the roots, and Ratatoskr runs with sharp words that stir unease. We feel this in our own lives when division, distraction, and forgetting pull at us. This is why it is time—now—to strengthen what we love. It is time to move beyond only small, scattered circles and begin working as a folk united in purpose and deed. Not as one voice that erases difference, but as many hearths that agree to tend the same fire. We have seen that our gods still answer when we gather in good faith. When we made blot to Freyr on that dedicated land, an eagle came down, took the shape of Freyr, looked upon us, and then rose again in the form of an eagle and flew off. This was not seen by one pair of eyes only, but witnessed independently among our men. We take this as a sign that even a small gathering, when it stands with clear intent and open hands, raised to the sky, can be seen by the gods. If fewer than a hundred of us, standing together in that place, could draw such notice, then we should ask ourselves—here and now—what might be stirred if we move with greater coordination, greater care for one another, and greater commitment to building together across our lands. What could be raised if we shared labor, teaching, rite, and vision? What could our children inherit if we act with the future in mind, not only the next gathering? So I speak this plainly, in this moment: It is time for us to think as a people, to plan as a people, and to build as a people. Not tomorrow. Not when it is easier. Now. We will keep our small fires. We will keep our circles. But we will also begin to weave them together, so that the light of one hearth strengthens the next. This is how roots are thickened. This is how the gnawing is resisted. This is how the old ways are not only remembered, but carried forward with strength. So here is the work I place before you now: Go to the mighty ash and hang your offerings there for the Hanged God, Wotan, as our forebears did when they sought wisdom beyond comfort. Sit with the runes and let them be a mirror for your spirit and a guide for your steps. Look honestly at your circles of friends, your kin, and the curious folk who are already asking about our ways. They are not asking by accident.

When you pass on, what will you pass down?

New breath and new life are moving among our folk. For the first time in many years, our ways are being looked at again by people who would have turned away from them not long ago. Many are weary of the noise and confusion of the age. The sickness that has seeped into society over the last decade or two has finally went far enough to awaken the sleeping giant of the Pan-Germanic majority. Many are searching for steadiness, for roots, for something that feels whole, grounded, and real. They are looking for tradition, for family, for a spirituality that is lived in daily work, in shared meals, and in the keeping of seasons. The Folk are no longer tired or weary. The Wotan spark has been kindled by too many attacks. The farmer is now ready to put down the plow and pick up the sword. The philosopher is trading the pen and pad for the spear and shield. They only need something worthy to defend. This is not something we made happen by argument or force. It is the turning of the times. Folk once content with feeding their families, protecting their homes and raising their children now have their homes invaded through sick influencers on social media. Our schools no longer focus on reading, writing and arithmetic. They focus on politics and gender identity. People are feeling the lack in their lives, and they are reaching for something older, something tested by generations. We should meet that reaching with open hands, clear hearts, and good example. It is time to welcome those who are curious. It is time to make room at our fires for those who are seeking a home in tradition. It is time to share our ways with patience, steadiness, and integrity. Moments like this do not stay open forever. If we do not tend the door when it stands ajar, it will close again. Be like the last house that Rig came to. The house with plenty of food served on golden plates and a wide open door. It is also true that not all who approach do so in good faith. We have seen people present themselves as kin in word, while working against kin in deed. Some come to stir discord, to test trust, or to pull at the seams of what we are building. This is not new. Every hall that stands for something draws both honest seekers and those who would use the hall for their own ends. Snakes will creep past. We must not hesitate to cut out any poison that presents itself. So we do not meet the world with naivety. We welcome with open hands, but we do not give the keys to the hall at the threshold. Trust is built over time, through presence, shared work, and respect for our ways. Those who walk with us in good faith will show it in how they listen, how they serve, and how they carry themselves among the folk. Our answer is not suspicion of all newcomers, but clear standards, patient teaching, and steady boundaries. This is how tradition stays whole: not by closing itself off in fear, but by knowing itself well enough to say yes with discernment and no with confidence. So let us stand ready. Let us live our values clearly. Let us be the calm hearth in a loud world, so that those who come looking for warmth and meaning know where to find us. Let us stand ready to defend what we have built with vigor while continuing to build and grow a future worthy of our posterity! Hail the Folk

The Founding of Freysland. There was land in the western reaches, thick with thorn and choking growth, where blackberries rose taller than a man and scotch broom claimed the soil. None walked there freely, for the ground bit back. Yet when the men of Yggs Ulfar took blade and fire to the thicket and laid the land open, an old apple orchard was found beneath the briars, planted by hands long gone. Then it was said among them that the land had once been tended, and that it waited only for the return of those who would claim it again. So the thorn was cut, the broom was torn from the roots, and the earth was cleared by labor and by will. The place was named Freysland, for it was held that Freyr, giver of peace and plenty, had guided the uncovering of what had been hidden. A small hof was raised there first, built only to stand for a season, and a maypole of alder, cut from the land itself, was set high beside it. Before the gods it was spoken that a greater hall would be built in time, a house worthy of their presence. One winter passed, and the small hof yet stood. Another year went by, and still the greater hall was not begun. Then came a hard storm in the dark of winter, and the winds tore the old hof down. When morning came, the people found the timbers broken and the roof cast aside. Then many said that the gods had answered the delay, and that what had been promised could no longer be put off. In the year that followed, the men and women of Pacific Northwest Wolfpack gathered themselves together and set their hands to the greater work. Through spring and summer they labored, setting posts, fitting beams, and raising walls. No small house was made, but a hall for the gods and for those who would stand before them in rite and feast. From good wood a likeness of Freyr, seven feet in height, was cut, and a lofted platform was built within the hof so that he might look down upon the folk. The men bore him into the hall, and one of the Gothar gave him breath through sacred rite and song, and Freyr was raised to his high place. Then there was silence, for the weight of the work lay heavy in the hall, and many felt that the land itself had drawn a long breath. After this the land was set in order and made known by signs. Those who come to Freysland turn from the common way onto a gravel road that passes between great alders, old in growth and thick with rain. To the southwest of this road stands the Hof, where Freyr holds his high seat. To the Northeast lies the sacred circle, where the Althing is held each year, and where law and binding words are spoken. Near the hof stands Nertus Grove, a quiet place where a great Ash thrives. On its branches gifts are hung in offering to Wotan, and there many leave tokens of oath and thanks. Beyond the hall, along the road that leads onward, stand the nine cherry trees, planted in a line as wardens of the sacred ground. Each bears the name of one of the nine wave mothers to Rig, whom some call Heimdalr, and those who pass between them walk the threshold between the common world and the holy ground. From the hof a narrow path leads down to the river. There, on midsummer morning the men and women of the Wolf Pack wash themselves anew in rite to Balder bright, setting aside the weight of what has been and taking up the light of what may yet be. Thus water, wood, stone, and oath were bound together in the taking of Freysland. So was Freysland claimed not by word alone, but by labor, by loss, by omen, and by the keeping at last of what had been promised. And it is said that so long as the hall stands and the rites are kept, the land will remember the hands that cleared it and the storm that would not let them forget their vow. Hail the folk who have toiled for our future and continue to build our tomorrow!!!
