The first Saxon Society was founded in London by a rag-tag selection of ‘wreckers of mead benches’, but it has no formal structure. If you love Beowulf, are happy to share a cup of mead with the same and warble Ænglisc, then you are already a member.

Begin your own chapter!

All we ask of our members is that on the second Saturday of every January, you feast mothers, wives, sisters and daughters for Modraniht, (mothers’s night) with a mead-sodden dinner in black tie or saxon dress and a recitation of Beowulf.

It is the night when the Norns guide our fate, and womb and hearth must be honoured.

Toast your forebears, and continue your line! Wyrd bið ful aræd.
