Asatru, also known as Ásatrú or Odinism, is an ancient Germanic religion that worships the gods of Norse mythology. As the name suggests, Asatru translates to "faith in the Aesir," the primary gods of the Norse pantheon. However, there are several other synonyms for Asatru, including "heathenry," "Norse paganism," and "Northern tradition." These terms may be used interchangeably, but they all refer to the same belief system that promotes a connection with nature and emphasizes honor, hospitality, and community. Asatru is a growing religion and has gained popularity in recent years, especially among those who recognize the value and importance of preserving ancient traditions and beliefs.
