Spiritualiteit
An introduction to the history, beliefs, rituals and deities of this popular Neo-Pagan belief drawn from ancient northern European traditions.
Asatru is a modern Pagan tradition whose roots lie in the ancient myths, folklore, sagas, and historical artifacts of those who lived in pre-Christian times in what is now Iceland, Scandinavia, Scotland, Germany, and other parts of northern Europe. It is also one of the fastest growing religions in the United States and Europe.
A clear and accessible introduction to this heathen religion, this book covers all the basics and answers the essential questions about Asatru. Key topics include: • A brief exploration of Asatru’s mythology • The role of Asatru’s gods and goddesses, rituals, magical practices of divination, spells, and berserkgangr • (a form of trance magic) • The moral virtues of Asatru: courage, honor, loyalty, truth, hospitality, industriousness, self-discipline, self-reliance, and steadfastness • A look at various interpretations of the Asatru tradition and the “hijacking” of its symbolism over the last two centuries
Readers new to Asatru and experts alike will find this book to be an invaluable resource in understanding this heathen tradition.
