Our Troth: Living the Troth

As the title says if you are a follower of Asatru (known by many other names including heathenry and paganism) then this is a great book to read. Book 1 of this series is great for knowledge of the gods and goddesses and the history of heathenry in Northern Europe. This books is a great reference piece for living the Asatru way in modern times. Contains tips on writing your own blots as well as some already written out. Also lists the major holidays any follower of Asatru should know as well as smaller ones that some groups honor as well. Also contains sections birth, death, man/woman making and even marriage. For anyone interested in modern heathenry this is a great book to learn about it or for those already involved this is a good supplement to existing knowledge. The only thing I found annoying was the pronunciation guide for the letters we don't typically see in modern english was buried at the back of the book where it was a bit harder to get to but that is kind of a preference thing really.

Vol 2 is just as usable as the first volume. My only complaint is a hardcover version was not available but it's an easy remedy. The books can be re-enforced later for the sake of preservation. These books are easy to study and easy to read which makes the learning process fast and painless. LOL If you're looking to study the old ways and plug it in to your daily life..this is a great book to look through.

Just like the first volume, this is a must-have if you wish to live your faith. Full of ways to deepen your practice and knowledge, this is another book well worth the money.

If you want to understand the practice of Asatru this book as well as the first volume are where you want to begin. I read a bunch of other books on Asatru before reading Our Troth. I would recommend skipping to Out Troth. I just want to make a comment on that Pedophile review. The guys off his rocker. But don't just take my word for it, buy the book and decide for yourself. I could see pedophiles being attracted to Christianity because the religion is full of patriarchal authorities that can easily abuse the trust placed in them to commit crimes. Asatru is not setup in this manner and so they would not benefit from coming to Asatru. There is no acceptance of pedophilia in Asatru. Members of this faith also have a more severe outlook on betrayal than Christianity.

I waited for a long time for this book to come out in print again and the wait was definitely worth it. There's so much information in this book about Heathenism and it's very readable. For those on the Heathen Path or just very interested, this is a must have book.

Nicely written well worth the money you may spend some time sounding out some of the words and time writing down what path you may want to follow

Tons of info. It is a book you will refer back to many, many times. A wealth of history and knowledge from some of the forefathers/mothers of the northern heathen practices.

Had the types of information I was looking for; a variety of authors contributed, and definitely you don't get gypped on the size of the book.
