There are numerous pagan religions in RK, including the Loki worship of the Wolves of Sherwood, worship of other Norse gods, various members of the Celtic pantheon, and more RK-specific deities such as the "Midnight Queen". Most RK pagans have a very personal interpretation of their religion, but common themes include handfasting, sacred groves, and homage to God and Goddess by whatever name one uses. Some also consider Jah an aspect of the God, and often they will adopt one "patron" deity as the foremost.

  • There are numerous pagan religions in RK, including the Loki worship of the Wolves of Sherwood, worship of other Norse gods, various members of the Celtic pantheon, and more RK-specific deities such as the "Midnight Queen". Most RK pagans have a very personal interpretation of their religion, but common themes include handfasting, sacred groves, and homage to God and Goddess by whatever name one uses. Some also consider Jah an aspect of the God, and often they will adopt one "patron" deity as the foremost. There are no formal gatherings for worship, other than handfastings, and most seem to either attend their local grove to commune with their deities when they feel the need for guidance, or find some other quiet place. While paganism is not an official religion in the British Isles, followers of the "Old Ways" are tolerated, having public places of worship and able to take high office. Some pagans have also used alternative, non-Jah wordings in oaths, such as oaths to the National English Army. Handfasting ceremonies are not officially recognised as marriages by the Church, but in the public eye the couple are considered "married". There have been recent cases of religious intolerance against pagans and their Groves by Aristotleans mistakenly believing that all pagans are linked to the Wolves of Sherwood; while Loki worship is indeed linked to the Wolves, not all Wolves worship Loki, and indeed not all followers of Loki are Wolves. Added to this, Loki is just one of the Gods seen in RK paganism, and Celtic deities such as Brigit and Mannanan are more often invoked by non-Wolves.
