Default I need people who follow asatru to tell me something about it.?

As an experiment I am trying out a month of every religion or non religion that you can find out about through religious tolerance.org. I figured it would be practical to start with A so if I skip agnostic that put me at Asatru.
What can I do to understand the religion more? Is there a good Astra based book? What are somethings I need to know about the religion?

Note: I am not doing this to insult any ones religion it is simply to experience what it is like to be in different religions and to see which one I find the most true to me.
I am recording it on my space http://www.myspace.com/deistjourney
My profile sucks right now, but you can see it if you want to.
Thanks Glitter girl! I'll try to make my profile not suck
I can add anyone, that is why I made the my space. I just started today so... it isn't very good
Person with comment about ending at D's and reality shows. I am doing this to find out which one I believe and just because I want to learn more

Asatru http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C3%81satr%C3%BA
is a reconstructive Norse Viking religion based on the findings in the Eddas ( poetry )

Sounds like a reality show that you are doing for publicity. I know it's not your question, but why do this for the sake of doing it, instead of doing it because you believe in any of these religions?

I say you'll give up by the time you reach the D's.
