Norse Worlds and Religion
Asatru, the old Germanic Religion: "The Teutonic way as we know it now was born out of the stormy and turbulent times of these migrations (der Völkerwanderung, Stilkam). Although its' most traceable roots are those stemming from the original Indo-European religion, it swiftly became something wholly unique, shaped by the harsh weather and mountains of the North, the fierce warrior spirit of the Migration Age, and the troth (unfailing loyalty and honor) to kin and folk without which the Germanic people could never have survived the rigors of their world. It is to regain that strength and that troth that we who follow the way of the North struggle each day; to reclaim the religion that grew from the souls of our ancestors and the heritage in which we can take rightful pride. We have come far from the rocky mountains of Scandinavia and the misty depths of the German forests, but our gods are still with us, hidden in our souls, in our hearts - in the very days of your week - Tiw’s Day, Woden’s Day, Thunar’s Day, Frigg’s Day - knowingly or not, we have honored them all our lives."
