					<description><![CDATA[Heathenry is an increasingly visible form of spirituality in the modern world yet not much is well-known about the people who practice it. The most prominent works of scholarship on our community are Jennifer Snook's American Heathens and the Norse Mythology Blog Worldwide Heathen Census. For our community to continue to grow it needs to be better understood, both by the public and ourselves. To that end, we are proud to announce Huginn Heathen Hof's first ever Global Heathen Demographic Survey. ]]></description>
