The Gift Cycle, How Irminfolk Auxiliary Enrollment can help the community at large
The Irminfolk Auxiliary is a donor-based program designed to enhance our commitment to the propagation of native European Folk religions and to the development of formal and informal kindred affiliations beyond our immediate local area. By joining the Irminfolk Auxiliary you contribute to supporting the Irminfolk’s mission from wherever you may live. It provides an opportunity to be a part of a powerful, competent, professional structure and to network with other similarly oriented folkish heathens who may not have the ability to participate directly in the Primary Irminfolk Community activities requiring geographical proximity to us and other restrictive requirements.
Over the years, many people have expressed interest in joining the Irminfolk, or just wanted to find ways they could help out. Many people reach out to us seeking advice on best practices for their local kindred, or how they can incorporate some of our programs and features into their local initiatives. This Auxiliary program is the answer to that.
The Irminfolk provides Heathen kindred building and administration instruction; supports wholesome activities such as hikes, campouts and challenges; commissions and distributes awards, medals, and heraldry; facilitates the sharing of resources, and the establishment of settings where supportive friendships can form; and it facilitates formal and informal opportunities for networking, trade, and frith.
Being part of the Irminfolk Auxiliary represents the first rung on the leadership ladder within our community. It establishes a foundation from which our future cadre may emerge. Individuals enrolled in the Irminfolk Auxiliary hold the potential to transition into affirmed lay membership within the Irminfolk or take the lead in organizing local initiatives. This step serves as an introduction, opening doors to deeper involvement and potential leadership roles within our community. It’s an opportunity to engage, contribute, and grow, paving the way for further commitment and active participation within the Irminfolk Odinist Community.
Enrollment in the Irminfolk Auxiliary differs from full oathed membership within the Irminfolk community. As an auxiliary member, you won’t participate in voting during Irminfolk board decisions (Thing). While you won’t cast a vote in the decision-making process, your perspectives and insights remain integral to our community. Your involvement in the Irminfolk Auxiliary offers an avenue to share your thoughts, suggestions, and innovative ideas. Your input shapes discussions, influences our approach, and contributes to the evolution of our collective mission. Your voice matters as we chart the course for our shared endeavors within the community.
