Ásatrúarfélagið (Ásatrú Fellowship)

Ásatrúarfélagið, or the Ásatrú Fellowship, is a modern religious organization based in Iceland that seeks to revive and practice Ásatrú, the ancient Norse pagan faith. Founded in 1972, it honors pre-Christian Norse gods like Odin and Thor and emphasizes a connection to nature, ancestral heritage, and community. Members engage in rituals, festivals, and personal spiritual practices that celebrate their beliefs. The fellowship promotes respect for all religions and fosters inclusivity while encouraging a respectful understanding of Norse mythology and traditions. It is part of a broader revival of paganism in various cultures around the world.
