About this ebook

Those who practice Asatru believe in a direct line of communication with the gods. Asatru adherents hold the gods exist and can be communicated with in a variety of ways, including rites, prayers, and offerings. Since the Norse pantheon contains many gods and goddesses, Asatru cannot be considered a monotheistic religion like Christianity. To differentiate themselves from other polytheistic religions, some Asatru adherents use the term "Heathen."

Asatru is a religion that emphasizes fellowship, with its adherents regularly coming together for worship, ceremonies, and communal meals. Asatru rituals differ from sect to sect, but they always involve some combination of praying to or offering gifts to the gods. The Asatruar, or members of the Asatru religion, observe holidays like Yule and Sigrblót.

According to Asatru, honor is crucial. Respecting one's community and ancestors is a part of this. The Asatruar way of life emphasizes moral fortitude, self-reliance, and strength. Since they consider the natural world to be the home of the gods and goddesses, they try to live in peace with it.

To an Asatruar, death is not the end, but a passage to a new world. Asatruar have faith that their ancestors will welcome them into Valhalla upon death, where they will wait for Ragnarok.

Many errors in the description of the gods and holidays. Someone who actually knows Àsatrú can easily spot them.
