Aboutan/About

Hammerhof Hall Folkish tribal kindred located in Providence, Rhode Island. It is here that Dryhten and Gothi Ragnvold Thorsson and his family maintain a sacred garth and worship space for the Folk of Hammerhof. Hammerhof is a Folkish tribal kindred based upon Saxon-Norse folk traditions commonly known today as Ásatrú.

Our belies are Theodish in nature and somewhat re-constructionist. Though we are not trying to revive a tribe we are attempting to bring back the tribal nature and tribal community of the days of yore. Tribalism, unlike most forms of social order and governance is almost instinctive. Unfortunately in this age of man our tribal instincts have gone dormant and we have become a society of dependent individuals with no tribal identities. We believe that we must bring back the age of the Gods and the tribes, find our common culture bonds and embrace them.


We are building a tribal community of commitment, dedication, and values in the old ways of our Folk. Hammerhof is bringing like-minded individuals and families together who have a common bond of religion and Germanic ancestry for the purpose of worship and a tribal community.

The most basic unit of the tribe is the family. We are a family oriented kinship with children ranging for infants to teens. We strongly encourage Ásatrú families, and individuals, to seek membership. Ásatrú is our native way. It gave our ancestors comfort in millennia past, and it can give us strength and inspiration today.
