Summary

Are you fascinated by Viking lore and want to learn more about Norse myths and legends?

Are you interested in a non-dogmatic religion that preaches balance with nature, respect for ancestral traditions, and the value of self-reliance?

This book will teach you everything there is to know about Ásatrú, from its ancient roots to its modern-day revival.

Ásatrú is a religion that revives, rebuilds, and reimagines the ancient polytheism of Northern Europe. This religious movement officially began in Iceland in 1972, but new iterations of the Old Way quickly spread worldwide, and Asatru is one of the fastest-growing spiritual movements in the United States today.

Erik Hansen, the best-selling author of Norse Paganism, has created a complete yet easy-to-follow guide to walking the Asatru path and bringing the values of this ancient faith into your life today.

By listening to this book, you will have a comprehensive knowledge of these topics:

  • Origins and history of Norse Paganism
  • The basics of Ásatrú and why it differs from other religions
  • How to walk the heathen path and become Ásatrú
  • Gods, goddesses, giants, and other fantastic creatures
  • The nine noble virtues of Ásatrú
  • Rune meanings and how to use rune stones for divination
  • Worship, rituals, and ceremonies–how to perform blót and symbel
  • Viking-era symbols and their meanings

Overcome stereotypes and discover the authentic spirituality of modern heathens. Ásatrú, The Heathen Path will allow you to explore the sacred stories of the various pagan deities such as Odin, Thor, Freya, and Tyr and take a look at rituals practiced by Asatruar in their daily lives.

Ancient Northern European spiritual practices are accessible to people of all backgrounds. Discover how to connect with Norse paganism as a beginner!

Loved it

I'm not a religious person, but I love the idea of Asatru. This is a great book for anyone who wants to learn about Norse paganism and how it has been revived in modern times.
Asatru is not about the strict rules or dogma that some religions have. Instead, it's about a way of looking at the world around you and seeing how it relates to your spirituality and beliefs.

The best introduction to Asatru

This is a great introduction to the modern revival of an ancient religion. It's very easy to listen to and does a good job of explaining the basics of Asatru without sounding like a textbook.

Great Audiobook

The book covers all of the major elements of Asatru: its nine virtues, including honor and courage; its gods; its history; and its daily practices. It also includes information on how to approach Asatru from scratch, which is helpful for those who are interested in starting their own practice but don't know where to begin.

Amazing!

I didn't know what to expect when I started listening to “Asatru: The Heathen Path.” But, it's amazing!
I love all things mythology and history, so this book is right up my alley. It's easy to listen to and has a great narrator. The stories are fascinating, and even though you don't have to be a pagan or an Asatruar to enjoy the book, it's really interesting if you are one—or want to learn more about them.

Norse Paganism

This book is a must-listen for anyone interested in Norse paganism. The author has done an excellent job of researching the nine virtues that are central to this fatith, and explaining how they are practiced in modern times. These include courage, loyalty, honesty, and hospitality, among others. The book also includes some historical background on the religion and how it developed over time.

Norse Mythology

I've always been fascinated by Norse mythology and history, but I never knew much about it. This audiobook is a great introduction to the subject—easy to listen to and well-organized. It's great for anyone who's curious about this ancient religion or wants to learn more about it.

Excellent resource

I'm always on the lookout for books that can teach me about different religions and spiritual practices, and “Asatru, The Heathen Path” is one of the best I've found in a long time.
It covers much ground in a very readable way. You don't have to be an expert on Asatru to know everything there is to know about it after reading this book. I think it would be a great resource for anyone who is looking to learn more about the religion—or any other Pagan practice—and I recommend it highly!

Easy to listen to and inspiring

I really loved this audiobook. It’s the first one I’ve listened to that is about Norse Paganism, and I found it to be very informative and easy to listen to. I didn’t know much about Asatru before listening, but now I feel like I can go out into the world feeling more confident in my knowledge of Norse mythology and history.
