Ásatrú Utah

You do not have to be of Scandinavian or Germanic descent to be Ásatrú.

While the religion is specific to a time and place it is the culture, ethics and place in the community that is essential.

As with other ethnic or primitive religions an individual of another ethnic background can be accepted into the “tribe” or community depending on the individual’s own acceptance and practice of the community ethos.

For many who are of Scandinavian or Germanic descent Ásatrú does seem to be an instinctive expression of personal belief and ethics.

We believe this is the result of family hamingja, that part of an individual or family that is a literal spiritual heritage, and not a matter of race.
