A Message from the National Event Responsible of the Nordic Asa-Community<\/h3>\n\n

The Summer Bl\u00f3t 2025 is now behind us, and this year we once again broke records \u2013 not just in one or a few areas, but across the board!More people, young and old, even animals, a larger camping area, more activities, and so much more.It brings me immense joy to see how this weekend continues to grow among us asatruers, and how others also find their way to us, allowing us to show how wonderful we and our faith truly are.More and more of us are able to spread the word across the world, which helps us reclaim the place in society that we once had and rightfully deserve today.It may begin with a visit to the Summer Bl\u00f3t, which leads to conversations at home, and that in turn leads to more people coming or finding their spiritual home in \u00c1satr\u00fa.<\/p>\n\n

This year, the Summer Bl\u00f3t weekend took place from July 11th to July 13th, with Saturday, July 12th, being the day of the grand Summer Bl\u00f3t, all competitions, and activities.We were honored this year by guests from all over Sweden, and to my knowledge, also from Denmark, Norway, Germany, the Czech Republic, and the USA.There are likely more I didn\u2019t have the chance to meet and speak with, but regardless, it is truly powerful to meet people from so far away who come specifically to be among like-minded kin.No matter where you came from or how long or short your journey was, everyone was warmly welcomed, and I sincerely thank each of you for your presence during the weekend.Thanks to you, this gathering becomes as fun and meaningful as it is every year.<\/p>\n\n

Preparations<\/strong>As most of you now know, planning for the Summer Bl\u00f3t takes quite a while, and that time only grows as we expand and add more elements that need to be brought or booked. Summer Bl\u00f3t 2026 was already in planning before this year\u2019s event took place.Unfortunately, there was no work group this year, but I had the help of a truly strong warrior \u2013 Rasmus \u2013 who was with me from Wednesday and ensured we had everything set up in time.Early mornings and late nights, but we got it done in the end. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

At 12:00 PM, the campsite finally opened for this year\u2019s Summer Bl\u00f3t.A flood of cars, caravans, and motorhomes began pouring in \u2013 never before had so many arrived already on Friday.The camping area filled up so much that I thought we might have to expand into our reserve spots, but we managed \u2013 though it was close.All the work and every step is absolutely worth it when I get to meet you, hug you, and welcome you \u2013 to see all the smiles and hear all the laughter.Absolutely wonderful!<\/p>\n\n

In the evening, we lit the grills so those who wanted could bbq and enjoy some social time.Our little pre-guild before the big one on Saturday isn\u2019t so little anymore, but judging by all the laughter and cheerful noise, it was a very cozy and fun evening.New this year was a campfire lit at 9:00 PM, allowing participants to gather around and enjoy a nice moment together \u2013 and it seems it was a success. <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t
