The Odinist Fellowship (OF) is a registered charity that follows a “folkish” version of Heathenism.
The OF emerged from the Odinic Rite in the 1990s, and is headed by Ralph Michael Harrison (AKA Ingvar), a longstanding far-right activist and original editor of the now-defunct Right Now! magazine. Since 2014, the group has used a sixteenth-century chapel in Newark-on-Trent, Nottinghamshire as its temple.
The group has proved attractive to a number of far-right activists, including members of Patriotic Alternative (PA) and its splinter group, the Homeland Party. In July 2023, the temple was visited by Alek Yerbury, a former PA activist who now heads the National Support Detachment. Harrison himself attended anti-migrant protests led by Yerbury in Lincoln and Skegness last year.
The well-known Heathen YouTuber, Tom Rowsell (AKA Survive the Jive), officiates the Hearth of Devon, his local OF group.
