Hi
First off all,please excuse my grammar,im from Norway,
so there might be some writing errors.
Im curious to know where you obtain your facts? For instance,the claims regarding asatru. Coming from Norway (Skandinavia) i know a little bit about
the subject.
Now i dont mean to be critical,im just curious about your beliefs,
when this is what they teach in schools and colleges around the world.
Ásatrú (pronounced [auːsatruː], in Old Norse [aːsatruː]) is an Old Norse compound derived from Áss, which refers to the Æsir, (one of the two families of gods in Norse mythology, the other being the Vanir), and trú, literally "troth" or "faith". Thus, Ásatrú is the "Æsir's faith." The term is the Old Norse/Icelandic translation of Asetro, a neologism coined in the context of 19th century romantic nationalism, used by Edvard Grieg in his 1870 opera Olaf Trygvason. Ásatrúar, sometimes used as a plural in English, is properly the genitive of Ásatrú.
And thor,or Tor as we call him,was not created in 1962,The first refrences to thor is dated to ca 700 AD,And is found in the texts of the christian schollar Snorre Skalgrimson, and the first refrences to Norse Mythologi is dated 200-300 AD. So its not a new "thing"
And in the ending of "voluspå" the opening text in "Edda"(Snorre Sturlason)
there is mentioned that, "The ruler will descend to his kingdom,forcefully from above,he who rules everything" And many people belive this is a refrence to God himself,so maybe christianity and asatru isnt that diffrent from eachother?
And again,i do not mean to criticise you and your belives,im just curious as to why you feel the need to criticise others?
Are we not all brothers and sisters of an unkown force?
I find your site intersting,and hope to take part in many discussions here.
