The Asatru religion is thousands of years old.
Asatru is a religion which worships many god and goddesses and believes in the ancient Germanic spirits and gods. Its beginnings are lost in pre-history.
It is older than Buddhism, Islam, Christianity, and most other religions. The followers of the Nordic-Neo pagan religion created the term 'Asatru' during the 19th century.
This was done to assign the modern reconstruction of Scandinavia's religious traditions before the introduction of Christianity. The most important are Thor, Odin, Frigg, Freyr, Tyr, Heimdall, and Loki. Asatru got its official and legal establishment in the '70s in Iceland.
Asatru is a native expression of the belief of Indigenous European people. The person who practices this religion is referred to as Asatrui, and Asatru is also called Germanic paganism, Wodanism, or Wotanism.
Asatru is also referred to as "The Religion of Viking" because of its connections with Norse myths and folklore, but also as the formation of Asatru and its religious beliefs are centered in the Old Norse literature, including poems and sagas of the Viking period or of early modern Scandinavian and late medieval times.
These show much of the pre-Christian Scandinavian religious beliefs and practices.
