Default Wiccans, what are your thoughts on Asatru?

Just out of curiosity.

It's another faith I do not follow, however, most Asatruar are as honorable as their faith dictates, and I'm cool with anyone who understands honor.

Unlike some other faiths I do not follow, however, Asatru does not have an agenda of gaining converts by any means necessary, so it's a faith I don't follow, but also don't worry about coming after me or my kids.

It seems to be a path that places a lot of emphasis on honor and the importance of family, both goals that I can really get behind.

While I've met a few who are very aggressive and quite nasty to those of other religions, I've also met some who are upright, assertive, and thoughtful. Like any other religion, it has a wide range of different sorts of people who follow it.

Because the majority of my ancestors are of Nordic decent, I use some aspects of Asatru in my rituals and foundation beliefs. I am a solitary so am able to do this with out upsetting someone Else's apple cart. I feel a closeness with it while I think of myself as a Wiccan.

Thanks for this question.

I'd say we leave them alone, are sorta honorable, and will put our firepower on their behalf when the fun dies come after them, because we're staunchly *not* pacifistic (some vicunas are), so I doubt they have a beef with us :P.

Well, I'm no longer Wiccan, I'm a Buddhist but as long as Asatru isn't being used for hate, like the new skinheads and Noe-nazis are claiming it for... it's an amazing way of life.
