Asatru. La via spirituale delle antiche culture nordiche

I thought that this was a good, down-to-Earth introduction to the practice of Ásatrú. It's the second book that I read on this topic, and I think that it hit the right amount of information density for people who are unfamiliar with the modern practice — my one suggestion would be a few more explici Leggi tutto

It was great to read a book on Heathenism written by a scandinavian and scholar. The different perspective was interesting and refreshing. The basic info is solid and the there's an abundance of resources in the back as well. I just wish the book had more detail/info in it but then I guess it wouldn Leggi tutto

Utterly Fascinating 😍 🧐

Very good book. I was very curious to learn about Heathenism and this is a good start. Only reason I didn’t give it a 5 star was just the fact it leaves you with more questions. Not the authors fault but just letting peopleknow you will not have all the answers in this book. It’s very intro.

This primer on Asatru, or more accurately old world philosophies and practices from the Nordic countries (Iceland, Germany, Norway, Sweden, etc.) is a fantastic introduction. Dr. Nordvig maintains a relatable and down-to-earth tone while providing information from a non-dogmatic, scholarly and histo Leggi tutto

This book is exactly what it promises to be: a well-rounded beginner’s guide to modern Norse-based spirituality, known as Ásatrú or Heathenry.⁣ The author, Dr. Mathias Nordvig, is a Danish practitioner of Ásatrú who currently lives in the United States, as well as a Nordic Studies Professor and the Leggi tutto
