Scyldings is a far-right conference company. It is part of the Beowulf Foundation, and advances the organisation’s aim of building an intellectual elite.
Founded in 2021, it runs expensive pseudo-academic events in the UK (named “The Witan”), as well as in the US, Germany and Australia. Past speakers include Curtis Yarvin, Michael Wright (AKA Morgoth), Edward Dutton, Charles Cornish-Dale (AKA Raw Egg Nationalist) and Carl Benjamin.
In November 2023, Scyldings offered their conference-organising apparatus to the Human Diversity Foundation, a race science group led at the time by Matthew Frost. It held a ticketed event featuring speeches by Erik Ahrens, the German white nationalist, and Edward Dutton at the Little Ship Club in central London. Kenny Smith, founder of the fascist Homeland Party, and his then-national media officer Alec Cave, both attended Scyldings in August 2024. They were interviewed by the Lotus Eaters host Dan Tubb.
Run by the influencer Martin Judge (AKA Maven Politic), he is assisted by Thomas Brice, Andrew Duncan, and friends from the Basketweavers network. In April 2026, Scyldings will host a conference in Germany called “Karlstage”, for which single tickets cost €650.
