About this listen
In Essential Asatru, renowned author and priestess Diana Paxson demystifies an ancient, rich, and often misunderstood religion, and offers a practical guide for its modern followers.
Filled with clear, concise instructions on living Asatru every day, this truly accessible guide takes you on a journey from Asatru's origins in Scandinavian and German paganism to its recognition as an official religion in the 1970s and its widespread acceptance today.
Essential Asatru also includes:
- A complete history of Asatru gods and goddesses, including Odin, Thor, and Ostara
- The life values, such as honor, truth, fidelity, and hospitality, that shape Asatru's tenets
- Indispensable information on rituals, rune casting, ethics, and divination
Essential Asatru is an elegant and splendid introduction to a centuries-old religion that continues to enrich and fascinate its followers today.

Excellent
Very thorough in background, practices, and in providing resources. I will enjoy going through this book again.

No way this is not narrated by an AI
I swear to god. the more I listen to this book the more I’m sure it’s narrated by an AI. the pronunciation is so unnatural and choppy I can’t even pay attention to the content itself.

Sadly, extremely outdated and irrelevant
Unfortunately, I hate to give such a wonderful and impactful author such a horrible review, but this stuff is old, outdated, and references several very poor sources within the modern Asatru community. Paxson has surely moved far beyond this very early work, and no longer associates with many of those discussed within, such as Steve McNallen or Edred Thorsson(Stephen Flowers), the odinic rite, and many organizations referenced. The Troth has long since undergone many changes to step directly away from these people who later became pillars of folkish communities that represent the absolute worst of modern heathenry, or who emulate their practices directly after the christian church. I was surprised to see this up on Audible.
As far as the production itself, I also found the narration personally unbearable. Oh well.
