But for us, it is important to preserve our ancient traditions and stand up for who we are and our origins. To revive the Asatru and once again allow our old gods <a href=\"https:\/\/asa-samfundet.se\/en\/gods\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Odin<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/asa-samfundet.se\/en\/gods\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Thor<\/a> and others to have a visible place in our everyday lives. To no longer have to be in the shadow of other religions, but to have our own vitality to grow strong and to be able to be seen and make an impact in the public debate.   <br\/><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/asa-samfundet.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/vikbolandet-640x1024.png\" alt=\"About the Nordic Asa-community\" class=\"wp-image-15435\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/asa-samfundet.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/vikbolandet-640x1024.png 640w, https:\/\/asa-samfundet.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/vikbolandet-600x960.png 600w, https:\/\/asa-samfundet.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/vikbolandet-187x300.png 187w, https:\/\/asa-samfundet.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/vikbolandet.png 722w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<p>Do you feel, like us, that the Viking in you lives on?

Then become part of the Asa-community.   <\/p>\n\n<p>We are actively working to connect the Nordic countries and anyone else who feels at home here or wants to be part of and support our activities. Asatru is older than many people think and there is evidence to suggest that its roots stretch back to the Bronze Age. It is called by many different names, the old custom, Asatru, Forn Sidr, Odinism, Norse heathenry, Norse paganism and others. But the basic idea is the same.   <\/p>\n\n<p>The Nordic Asa-community is a non-political society actively working to make Asatru a recognized world religion. To work for the preservation of Nordic customs and lifestyle. <\/p>\n\n<p>Read more on our website, <a href=\"https:\/\/forum.asa-samfundet.se\/bli-medlem\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/forum.asa-samfundet.se\/bli-medlem\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">become a member<\/a> and support our activities.
