Educational PhilosophyAs Folkish Odinists, we believe that heritage and faith walk hand in hand. One does not exist without the other. This will be reflected in the themes and activities chosen for each meeting. The classical method of education as reflected in “The Well Trained Mind†by Susan Wise-Bauer is a philosophy that will underpin many of the activities provided. A diverse skill-set is important if our children are to be leaders for our people, so AHHE welcomes and strongly encourages parent-teachers to provide activities that reflect their particular philosophies.
