A member of a local pagan Facebook group I am on is
wondering if there is a faith based on Old Saxon
beliefs specifically.

I suggested Seax-Wica, also known as Saxon-Wica, founded
by Raymond Buckland in 1973, but then he said he is looking
for something pre-modern-Wiccan beliefs.

Does anyone on these newsgroups know of any
online or print sources related to old Saxon
pagan beliefs?

Also see

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anglo-Saxon_paganism

which has a short section on contemporary paganism
at the end, but none of the traditions mentioned have an
unbroken lineage to ancient Anglo-Saxon paganism and can
all be considered neopagan Anglo-Saxon reconstructionism.
