Religion is a way of finding our true nature and our relationship with life.

Ásatrú recognizes many familiar Gods and Goddesses.

• Thor is the Thunderer, the wielder of the divine Hammer Mjolnir. the thunder is the sound of his chariot, the rain his gift that allows the crops to prosper.
• Odin, the All-father, is the God who gifted mankind with a divine nature. He is the One-eyed God, who traded his eye for wisdom, and hung on the world tree to learn the mysteries of magic and the runes. Odin receives slain warriors in his hall, where they prepare for the final battle of Ragnarok.
• Frey is a God of peace and plenty who is King of the Elves and brings fertility and prosperity to the land.

A religion without Goddesses is halfway to atheism.

• Freya, who wears the sacred necklace Brisingamen and rides in her cat-drawn chariot. She is the Goddess of love and beauty, but she is also a fierce Goddess of battle and takes half the battle-slain to her.
• Frigg is Odin’s wife, and she shares in his leadership of the Gods. She is the only other deity allowed to sit in Odin’s Seat from which she can see all of the Nine Worlds, and is the patron of the household and of married women.
• Skadi is a Goddess of strong independence and a patron of hunting and of skiing.
