Norse Heathenry is a modern spiritual practice that draws inspiration from the ancient beliefs and traditions of the Norse people, who lived in Scandinavia and surrounding areas. It focuses on the worship of deities such as Odin, Thor, and Freyja, as well as honoring ancestors and nature. Rituals often include offerings, blóts (sacrificial ceremonies), and sumbels (drinking toasts). Practitioners, known as Ásatrúar, seek to connect with the Norse gods and the natural world, emphasizing values like honor, courage, and community. Norse Heathenry is often characterized by its emphasis on personal experience and interpretation, allowing for diverse expressions of faith within the tradition.
