Heathenry: A Study of Asatru in the Modern World

by Wayland Skallagrimsson

Heathenry is a comprehensive look at Northern Tradition religions in the modern world. Intended as more than just another “Asatru 101” book, Heathenry delves into ancient history, specialist heathen paths, and the deeper issues surrounding religious devotion. Consideration is given to obscure aspects of gods both well-known and those almost unknown. The nine noble virtues are discussed in depth, as a set of values relevant to the modern world. The runes are uniquely approached as a native system of heathen spiritual development. A summary and concordance of the Eddas is provided, with a comprehensive list of every god, every significant story, every reference to old world religious practices, and where in the Eddas each one can be found.

This person comes from a solid base when it comes to knowledge. However, I felt that the author was attacking Christianity way too much, and I simply can find other books with the same content with less of the angry tone the author portrays. Also, I disagree with some ideas in the book.
