Asatru Pagan Religion and Spirituality

Asatru

Asatru is a living religion, currently practiced by a growing number of people across the globe. Asatru is separate from, and not connected to, any other religious faith (although there may be superficial similarities in some respects). Asatru philosophy recognizes courage, honor, honesty, hospitality, self-reliance and taking responsibility for one's own actions, industriousness, perseverance, justice (including an innate sense of fairness and respect for others), loyalty to one's friends and community, and a willingness to stand up for what is right and faith in one's self and the deities as being virtues to strive for.
