This book will teach you everything there is to know about ĂsatrĂș, from its ancient roots to its modern-day revival.
ĂsatrĂș 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 reading this book, you will have a comprehensive knowledge of these topics:
- Origins and history of Norse Paganism The basics of ĂsatrĂș and why it differs from other religionsHow to walk the heathen path and become ĂsatrĂșGods, goddesses, giants, and other fantastic creatures The nine noble virtues of ĂsatrĂșRune meanings and how to use rune stones for divinationWorship, rituals, and ceremonies - how to perform blĂłt and symbel Viking-era symbols and their meanings
Overcome stereotypes and discover the authentic spirituality of modern heathens. "ĂsatrĂș, 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.

Critical Reviews
I've been practicing Asatru for a few years now, and I found this book to be a precious resource. The author delves deep into key concepts such as the Nine Noble Virtues and the importance of community in the tradition, providing a wealth of knowledge and understanding for both new and experienced practitioners. I particularly appreciated the author's use of historical references and primary sources, which helped me better understand Asatru's roots and evolution. (M. Thompson)
This is the most comprehensive, easy-to-read introduction to Asatru I've ever read. It's a great starting point for someone who has yet to learn what Asatru is, but also a rich resource for those who are already drawn to the religion. (J. Matthews)
This book is exactly what I was looking for. It gives you all the information you need to start learning about modern heathenry and its practices, but it also gives you a good understanding of why these traditions exist in the first place. You can tell that the author really cares about sharing his knowledge with other people who are interested in learning about this tradition. (O. Turner)
