Answer 2

Ásatrú (Icelandic "Æsir faith") is a new religious movement whose focus is reviving the Norse paganism of the Viking Age - as described in the Eddas - prior to the arrival of Christianity.

Adherents of Ásatrú are called Ásatrúarmenn (singular Ásatrúarmaður) in Icelandic (literally "people of Aesir faith"); in English usage, the genitive Asatruar "of Aesir faith" is often used on its own to denote adherents (both singular and plural).

Ásatrú was established in the 1960s and early 1970s in Iceland, by the Íslenska Ásatrúarfélagið, an organization founded by Sveinbjörn Beinteinsson. Ásatrú is a religion officially recognized by the governments of Iceland (since 1973), Norway (since 1994), Denmark (since 2003) and Sweden (since 2007). The United States government does not officially endorse or recognize any religious group, but numerous Ásatrú groups have been granted nonprofit religious status going back to the 1970s.[1]

While the term Ásatrú originally referred specifically to the Icelandic adherents of the religion, Germanic neopagan and reconstructionist groups widely identify themselves as Ásatrú. In this wider sense, the term Ásatrú is used somewhat synonymously with Germanic neopaganism or Germanic paganism, along with the terms Forn Sed, Odinism, Heithni, Heathenry and others.

Answer 3

Ah there's lots of good sites out there, here's a few of my favorites:

http://www.thetroth.org/
http://www.erichshall.com/asanew/newtotru.htm
http://www.friggasweb.org/nvirtues.html
http://www.odinsvolk.ca/O.V.A.%20-%20GODSundGODDESSES.htm
http://home.earthlink.net/~wodensharrow/hah.html
http://www.webcom.com/~lstead/Ravenbok.html
http://www.odins-gift.com/

Also, a word of caution: be careful when and if you do a web search for Odin, you'll turn up a lot of legit Asatruar sites but you will also turn up quite a few hate sites run by folk who are trying to misuse Asatru's symbols for their own political agenda.

Answer 4

This one if Kallan is around. Also try doing a websearch for Odin.
