Woden’s Folk is a fringe group founded in 1998 by Geoffrey Dunn (AKA Wulf Ingessunu), a former National Front activist who was also previously involved in the Odinic Rite. The group has a specifically Anglo Saxon focus and has prominent messianic elements, prophesying the coming of a “Folk Fuhrer”, a version of Woden, who will save the “English folk”.
The tiny but extreme group received press attention in 2019 for holding torchlit ceremonies at National Trust and English Heritage sites, including Avebury in Wiltshire and Wayland’s Smithy in Oxfordshire.
Activists to have passed through Woden’s Folk include former members of the National Front, the British National Party and also National Action, a nazi group now banned under anti-terror legislation. It also includes current and former members of Patriotic Alternative.
