This book contains the outline to implement a path to success in your life. This is the only book in heathenry that lays out in terms that everyone will understand how to use our faith to build a full life. This book will help you achieve just about any kind of success you believe you are capable of achieving. 

Every man and woman will encounter numerous situations in life where they feel that they are seemingly helpless. We find ourselves unable to help someone we believe we love over some seemingly insurmountable hump in their life. We might begin to doubt our value to them. We might lose our perspective on things and begin to believe that we are “unhappy” because of who we are with.

This wonderfully romantic tale is only found in the paper copies of The Eddas, an unnamed collection of Norse works. Snorri, an Icelandic historian and poet, doesn’t mention it elsewhere in his works. It is probably not much older than the 17th century. Being that we cannot trace its origin much further back than that, it is largely ignored. But I believe we do so at the risk of missing how these grand tales became what they are today. 

Well here we go again. Into the broad and roomy realm of the spirit. But first we need to wade through the morass of bullshit far too many folks are carrying around as if it might mean something. Good thing I'm here to point that out. Get bonus content on Patreon Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Just exactly how should a man be expected to act? What kind of outcome will there be for a man who adopts this way of life we call Asatru? Stanza 142 tells me all I really need to know. Once I kill the ego or that bloated perception of self, new things will begin to appear in our lives. Positive things that had previously been out of reach. Starting at a place which brought us to a point where the very concept of our survival hinged upon the imperative of change, we have rediscovered an ancient path.

Not so long ago I was enjoying a profound discussion with a good friend of mine. His analogy of all roads lead to Rome really meaning that all roads lead to the door of death has stuck with me. Largely because it means we are going to need to discuss an ancient Goddess. Hel. Who, as she is described in the lore is most difficult to understand. But it is entirely in line with what a Christian would need people to think. For it was the promise of Jesus that there would be life everlasting. The first thing you need to do is to vilify death and make it a scary place.

On any given day, men and women around the world are practicing ancient faiths. They do so to embrace a freedom many have felt has been denied them. It has become a fountain of inspiration for the world. The effects of the new thought processes are changing the very face of society. It is doing so in ways with which we are just now coming to grips.  

Asatru Awakening is the powerful new book written to help people make the most of their lives. We can do this by fully engaging the magnificent power of our minds and creating the reality in which we wish to live. 

Lif and Lifthrasir are not people of our age who happened to hide in a tree. They are our ancestors, sequestered away, prepared to impart the knowledge of the runes and how to live life according to them in a new world. Using the Hynluljoth, the Reginsmol, Fafnismol, and many others, I have pointed out how we might prepare ourselves not only for daily life as Asatruars, but also our children for whatever the future might hold for them. 

Asatru has been interpreted in many different ways. Yet the freedom and promise we caught a glimpse of when we found Asatru seems to have eluded us. This book is a clear outline of how we may use our faith to surmount the obstacles of not only our society but the hindrances within ourselves as well. The complications in our lives which may have drawn us to Asatru sometimes require a little more work on our part. But how? I believe this book will help those folk who are struggling to implement this faith in their life. 

In the world of today, when we are at a point when so many have such a need for the empowering spirituality demanded by these times, it is imperative that we begin to see with clear eyes the lessons brought to us in these grandmothers’ tales and other sources. There is most certainly a wisdom within them that will guide us in the efforts to handle our greatest foe. The ability to conquer ourselves and live a life of nobility, which may be brought about by no less a herculean effort than the Olympic lifter, can be done. It has been right here in front of us all along.

It has been suggested that the story of a deity suffering, dying, and being resurrected has been told 16 times in the history of mankind. In today's world it seems as if no one is listening. This idea of suffering and resurrection is just one of a handful of ideas that have populated the literature of faith from around the world and throughout the ages. Collected here, and crossing all boundaries, is that wisdom. Put to use in your own life there is no doubt a new spirit will be awakened within you.
