To the people out there who have just found this site as part of your first introduction to Asatru, realize that there is no one point of view that is Asatru, no one person who speaks for all Asatruars, no Asa-Pope, no dogma. There are Asatruars all over the political spectrum. There are those who value frith (peace, plenty, and prosperity) above all, and those who enjoy a good fight a lot better. Those who are inclusive and those who are exclusive, literalists who treat the Havamal as a kind of Bible and those who view the Eddas as metaphors for spiritual life, those for whom worship is paramount and those who would rather follow in the footsteps of Odin as a shaman seeking wisdom. And sometimes the same person can be on each of these poles at different times of their life. So any newbies out there, stick around long enough to hear all sides before you decide that this isn't your path. You might surprise yourself. |
