Urglaawe, Pennsylvania Dutch Heathenry

In America we have our own branches of Heathenry such as Urglaawe, which spawns from the blatantly Pagan folkloric traditions of the Pennsylvania Dutch, while there is some bleed over with the Eddic tradition the main focus is on German gods such as Perchta, Ewicher Yeeger, Eckhart, Lollus, Zisa, King Frost, and especially Mother Holle who is the patron deity of all Pennsylvania Dutch, and is credited with guiding them to America to escape oppression and watching over them from the Hexenkopf mountain nearby. She is directly tied into many holy days such as Grundsaudag and Allelieweziel and many folktales, many of her and the other gods stories are tied to the American land and incorporate many German and American customs including Steins, Hex Signs, Distlefinks, and more. As Holle is the leader and divine patron of this German-American tribe, her sickle is the symbol they wear in contrast to the Mjolnir typically worn by modern Norse & Germanic Heathens.
