Diana L. Paxson offers an accessible guide to Ásatrú, the modern revival of pre-Christian Northern European religion. She outlines its Scandinavian and Germanic roots, its twentieth-century renewal and the gods and goddesses at the heart of the tradition, including Odin, Thor and Ostara. The book also introduces central values such as honour, truth, fidelity and hospitality, along with approaches to ritual, ethics and divination. Written for newcomers, it explains how an ancient spiritual path can be understood and practised in contemporary life.
