Ásatrú

  1. Alternative form of Asatru
    • 1993, Kenneth Bolton Jr., Black in Blue: African-American Police Officers and Racism, volume 2, page 285:
      That so widely known and highly diverse an issue has escaped the notice of Christian ACMs speaks volumes for the quality of research—and the degree of attention—which the Ásatrú/Odinist community has drawn in these circles.
    • 1997, Jeffrey Kaplan, Radical Religion in America, page xviii:
      Neopagan Odinism, a belief system centered on the reconstruction of the pre-Christian Norse/Germanic pantheon, has in recent years taken on an increasingly important role in the wilderness of the radical right as well; the existence of a nonracialist counterpart, Ásatrú, provides an interesting contrast.
    • 1997, Graham Harvey, Listening People, Speaking Earth: Contemporary Paganism, page 53:
      Since 1973 Ásatrú has been one of the legally recognised religions of Iceland which has legalised its marriages, child naming and other ceremonies and provided benefits for tax purposes.
