I surf witchvox everyday and just recently I noticed a list: Pagans, Wiccans and Heathens.

I know what Paganism is, and Wicca, but what is Heathenism? I was always under the impression that it meant someone who is troublesome, or more commonly goes against the church. Is it a religion?

Ooh! If Heathenism is now a religion, I am a charter member!

I thought Heathenism was Paganism?

Heathenism is a term used by more than one group, but is often associated with the Asatru and the Anglo Saxon Heathens. Here's a link http://www.englishheathenism.homestead.com/introduction.html

They usually follow a Norse pantheon also.
