About Us

Die Urglaawisch Sippschaft vum Distelfink was formed in 2008 and currently has over 20 members and associates. 

We follow the Heathen path of Urglaawe, which honors the Teutonic pantheon in the context of the Deitsch (Pennsylvania German) culture. We draw many of our beliefs from the traditional Deitsch culture, including pre-Christian facets of the healing practice of Braucherei and the folklore as handed down through the ages by word of mouth.

We believe in deliberate, positive living and work to foster good relationships with all of our neighbors. Distelfink Sippschaft is a supporter of Heathens Against Hate.

We are a tax-exempt religious organization under IRS code 501(c)3.
