This was
ancient Norse paganism, and is only practiced by few believers today, mainly
in the Scandinavian countries as a modern reconstruction and revival of the
religion practiced by the Vikings and other Germanic peoples before the
introduction of Christianity in Northern Europe.
Is a religion which involves the worship of ancient Germanic and
Scandinavian Viking spirits and gods. It received official legal establishment
in 1970s in Iceland through the efforts of Sveinbjörn Beinteinsson and other
Icelanders. The current recognized national organization of Asatru in Iceland is
Ásatrúarfélagið. The name is derived from two Old Norse words. It means "faith
in the Æsir," the Old Norse gods. Asatru is a polytheistic religion in which
various goddesses and gods are worshiped. The most prominent are Thor, Odin,
Freyja, Frigg, Freyr, Tyr, Loki, and Heimdall.
