In Asatru, Erin Lale provides listeners with an accessible introduction to this heathen religion, one of the fastest growing religions in the United States and Europe. The book includes these key topics: ● A brief exploration of Asatru's mythology and prehistory, its contact with Rome, and its history up to the present day ● A comprehensive survey of Asatru's many gods and goddesses ● The rituals, including holiday celebrations, toasting rituals, weddings, and other life events ● The moral virtues of a true Asatruar: courage, honor, loyalty, truth, hospitality, industriousness, self-discipline, self-reliance, and steadfastness ● The magical practices of rune divination, spells, and bersarkrgangr ● A look at the 'universalist' and 'folkish' interpretations of the Asatru tradition and the 'hijacking' of the symbolism of the northern European religions in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries
