Hraftzer Society has three major components:
1. The Tribe and its components (Kindreds and Families)
2. The Church (aka hof): This is a purely religious aspect of the community that focuses on Hraftzer Asatru faith.
3. The Lodge
The three aspects can be housed in a single "community center". For example, religious rituals can be held on Fridays with ethnic tribal based meetings on Wednesdays, and secular Lodge meetings on Sundays. The Community Center could also offer community resources for the community at large, including non-Hraftzers and function similar to YMCA. It depends on resources and local circumstances.
-----
1. The Tribe: This is the main component that comes together under a common culture, and often under a common racial and ethnic heritage. Multiple "tribes" may be formed in time. The tribe focuses on ethnic affiliation, family values and civilization.
2. The Church involves religious ritual and study. Asatru or some variation of such being the religion.
3. The Lodge involves more secular and business aspects guided by Hraftzer values, tradition and culture. This is the "society" aspect.
All of these aspects are housed under one "Community Center" if one is built (or "Temple", "Church" etc.). Many members will be part of all three. All of these aspects depend primarily on the tribe to build the other ones.
