Our Organization

The Ethical Heathen Alliance organization is based in the United States.
We are open to all ethical people who wish to honor the ancestors and Gods/Goddesses. Living with moral integrity, guided by enduring faith-based principles, traditions, and a deep respect for the inherent dignity of every person.
We firmly oppose the use of any religion or religious symbols to promote hate or division.
MIssion
Help provide a safe and judgment free space to interact with others of the same and different beliefs. Provide information and education for those ethical people that strive to be the best they can be.
Vision
The Ethical Heathen Alliance believes in a future where the needs of non-Abrahamic religions are met and where they can live an open, prosperous spiritual and religious life.
Values
We acknowledge that we are all human and imperfect, but strive to develop our best selves daily. We try to bring back the manners our grandparents and ancestors taught us.
Accountability:
If you make a mistake, own up to your actions, behaviors, and their impact, without shifting blame onto others. Recognize where you’ve fallen short and actively work to make amends and improve in the future.
On the flip side, if someone did something good, give them credit.
Take your responsibilities seriously.
Beneficence:
Respectful—
Treat others the way you want to be treated.
Non-violence: Solve disagreements peacefully, without violence. Deal with anger peacefully.
Tolerance and acceptance: Respect others who are different from you, regardless of
tradition, race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, ability, gender, or family structure.
Courtesy: Be polite and use good manners.
Compassionate—
Be empathetic and help whomever you can, when you can, within reason. The pool has ripples. Help yourself, your family, your community, and THEN beyond.
Be compassionate to yourself. Acknowledge when you can’t help others and when you need help.
Hospitable—
Be a good host. Be a good guest. Be smart in your hospitality; the world today can be dangerous. So, be hospitable, but be safe.
Trustworthiness:
Be honest or be silent.
Be transparent when it is right.
Keep your promises whenever able, including the promises of loyalty to your spouse and family.
Maintain members’ privacy and confidences (don’t “out” those “in the broom closet”.) (Except if those confidences may harm someone, then notify the appropriate authority.)
Resilient:
Life is hard. Everyone faces stress, adversity, trauma, or tragedy. Be compassionate with those facing hardship, including ourselves. Try to learn, adapt, recover, and grow stronger from difficulties.
