Allsherjargoði (Ásatrúarfélagið)
The Allsherjargoði is the chief religious official of the pagan revival group Ásatrúarfélagið in Iceland. The title is a modern adoption of the ancient political title of allsherjargoði. Office holders are elected.
However, the title is also used in the United States by prominent Asatru leaders, Stephen A. McNallen and Valgard Murray.
