{{main|Wikipedia:Heathenry (new religious movement)|l1=Heathenry on Wikipedia}}

Heathenry is the modern Pagan religion focused on Germanic pre-Christian beliefs, notably those of Scandinavian cultures. Its followers, called Heathens, worship numerous gods (Odin, Thor, Freyja, etc) and venerate their ancestors and spirits of the land (called 'wights', also known as elves/alfar and dwarves). While there is no sacred text ''per se'' for Heathenry, writings such as the Prose and Poetic Eddas and the Hávamál are held as important. Heathen holidays focus on the cycle of nature, with the four largest festivals marking cross-quarters of the year; Ostara (Spring Equinox), Midsummer (Summer Solstice), Winter Finding (Autumn Equinox), and Yule (Winter Solsice). Morally, Heathens respect and hold in high regard what are known as the Nine Noble Virtues: Courage, Truth, Honor, Fidelity, Discipline, Hospitality, Self Reliance, Industriousness, and Perseverance.

In the 26th Century, the colony world of [[Sedra]] is noted by [[Lieutenant]] [[Michael Horrigan]] as "still believing in Valhalla". Valhalla, in Norse mythology, is the High Hall of the god Odin, and one of several afterlife destinations in Heathenry; notably for those who have died in combat and are chosen by Odin.
