About Heathenry
A modern Pagan religion that reconstructs the pre-Christian beliefs of the Germanic peoples, honoring gods such as Odin, Thor, and Freyja. Iceland recognized the Asatruarfelagid in 1973. Rituals include the blot offering and sumbel toasting. Most Heathen groups are in Northern Europe and North America.
