Publisher's summary

Are you fascinated by Viking lore and want to learn more about Norse myths and legends?

Are you interested in a non-dogmatic religion that preaches balance with nature, respect for ancestral traditions, and the value of self-reliance?

This book will teach you everything there is to know about Ásatrú, from its ancient roots to its modern-day revival.

Ásatrú is a religion that revives, rebuilds, and reimagines the ancient polytheism of Northern Europe. This religious movement officially began in Iceland in 1972, but new iterations of the Old Way quickly spread worldwide, and Asatru is one of the fastest-growing spiritual movements in the United States today.

Erik Hansen, the best-selling author of Norse Paganism, has created a complete yet easy-to-follow guide to walking the Asatru path and bringing the values of this ancient faith into your life today.

By listening to this book, you will have a comprehensive knowledge of these topics:

• Origins and history of Norse Paganism
• The basics of Ásatrú and why it differs from other religions
• How to walk the heathen path and become Ásatrú
• Gods, goddesses, giants, and other fantastic creatures
• The nine noble virtues of Ásatrú
• Rune meanings and how to use rune stones for divination
• Worship, rituals, and ceremonies–how to perform blót and symbel
• Viking-era symbols and their meanings

Overcome stereotypes and discover the authentic spirituality of modern heathens. Ásatrú, The Heathen Path will allow you to explore the sacred stories of the various pagan deities such as Odin, Thor, Freya, and Tyr and take a look at rituals practiced by Asatruar in their daily lives.

Ancient Northern European spiritual practices are accessible to people of all backgrounds. Discover how to connect with Norse paganism as a beginner!
