Northvegr Foundation

Northvegr Foundation

The Northvegr Foundation is a privately owned educational foundation. It is incorporated in the United States of America. Its goals center on honoring northern European pre-Christian history, culture and spiritual values. These goals are achieved in a number of ways, including the maintaining of a web site [http://www.northvegr.org/index.php] , the production and distribution of published materials in print and digital formats, as well as conducting lectures and workshops on a variety of topics.

Northvegr's focus encompasses the span of time corresponding to the northern European Iron Age until the early mediaeval Age. They interpret that period to be from the eighth century BCE to the twelfth century CE. The geographical regions in their area of focus tend to those with Celtic and/or Germanic peoples as the dominant culture group present during that period of time.
