Keeper of Seasons Hall is an
independent religious group focused on honoring the Gods and
Goddesses and studying the culture and religion of the
Nordic/Germanic peoples. We gather to celebrate the blots of the Ásatrú faith, based on the general
calendar below. Though we follow a general calendar, we follow
most closely the natural seasons as they come here in New Mexico.

"Keeper of Seasons" is a modern kenning for
"raven" derived from an ancient kenning found in Snorri
Sturluson's Skaldskaparmal. The original kenning was
"Year-Counter." As Albuquerque enjoys seasonal visits
by ravens, we thought a raven a fitting symbol for us and our
activities. Our blots are nothing if not seasonal, and in the way
that we continue to celebrate the blots, we too are "Keepers
of Seasons." Attendance of Keeper of Seasons Hall functions
require advance invitation. Any interested parties should contact
our Ritari at one of the addresses provided.
Ásatrú is a living religion practiced by many people in various
countries. "Ásatrú" literally means "faith in
the Æsir," however, Ásatrú implies a faith also in the
Vanir and various other wights. The Æsir and Vanir are widely
know as the Gods and Goddesses of the Old Norse eddas and sagas.
Keeper of Seasons Hall is a non-discriminatory group created to
provide an environment in which one can practice the Ásatrú
faith and gain deeper understanding of the principles and
practices of our re-awakened Heathen
religion. We will not tolerate hatred, intolerance, or
discrimination based on age, color, ethnicity, gender, language,
national origin, race, sexual orientation, or any other decisive
criteria. We welcome anyone who is truly interested in the
religion.
