Описание: Ásatrú is an expression of the native, pre-Christian religion of Europe. More specifically, it is the religion by which the Ethnic European Folk have traditionally related to the Divine and to the world around them.

From Iceland to Russia, from the frozen north of Scandinavia to the Mediterranean, the Ethnic European Folk wandered and settled over a span of thousands of years. Today, their descendants are spread around the world. We may refer to ourselves as Americans or English, Germans or Canadians, but behind these labels lurks an older, more essential identity. Our forefathers were Angles and Saxons, Lombards and Heruli, Goths and Vikings – and, as sons and daughters of these peoples, we are united by ties of blood and culture undimmed by the centuries.

Ásatrú is our native religion. It gave our ancestors comfort in the millennia past, and it can give us strength and inspiration today. The word “Ásatrú” comes to us from Old Norse, the tongue of ancient Scandinavia, where it means “those loyal to the Æsir.” Since the ancient Scandinavian version of our religion is the best documented, it has given us much of Asatru’s terminology and imagery. The soul of Ásatrú, however, is not confined to the Scandinavian model but encapsulates the belief of all the Ethnic European Folk. Indeed, Ásatrú reflects the deeper religiosity common to virtually all the nations of Europe.
