Ásatrú, also known as Norse Paganism, Norse Mythology or Forn Siðr, is not like other faiths. Most faiths and religions are aimed at the afterlife - often at the expense of this tangible present life. Most faiths and religions teach about scrutiny and judgement. Most faiths will discriminate between good and evil, leaving no gabs for real life. Ásatrú is different; a celebration of life and love; the might of nature and all the emotional encounters life will throw at you. This book is not written to convert you to this faith, but to place you in front of a buffet, where there might be a tempting snack you can sneak out, without buying the whole seating. That's how it works, because Ásatrú is not a religion but a tradition; not a philosophical framework but thousands of years of real life experience; not a commitment but a toast dedicated to Skaði, one happy evening down the pub.
