Else Christensen was a Danish proponent of the modern Pagan new religious movement of Heathenry who established a Heathen organization known as the Odinist Fellowship in the United States. A Third Positionist ideologue who believed Heathenry, which she termed Odinism, was the best way to spread racial consciousness among those she deemed Aryan, she founded the Odinist Fellowship with her husband in 1969 and published its newsletter, The Odinist, for many years, gaining the moniker the Folk Mother within the Odinist movement.
