You Might be Asatru If . . . .


You hear a thunderstorm coming and think "Great! When will it be here?"

You were asking your parents for blades, bows and spears when other children were asking for dolls.

Oak trees feel like old friends

When other people talk about hunting boar, you are the only one who realizes that the boar might win the contest.

When you see a beautiful amber necklace, you convince yourself that a late car payment is OK.

When other people see a raven and call it a pest, you listen to find out if it is a messenger.

When someone says they found a bog, you think you would like to see it.

You leave a bit of something for the "little people" in the house . . . just in case.

Honor, kin, loyalty and self-reliance are not just words to you.

You are trained in a martial art

Horses seem to be more than just pets.

Putting years worth of food away was an idea you had long before the Y2K hype ever hit.

Making quality things means you have to learn how to do it yourself, and you see it as fun.

When someone mentions bonfires, you think,  "We just don't have enough of those."

You would rather go down fighting on your feet than be patted on the head for living on your knees.

You would rather help the other person go down fighting for trying to keep you on your knees :^)

Mead is a drink you really want to try.

You never really felt that being a sheep was a good thing.

You bought a copy of "13th Warrior" because there was something about the way those guys approached life and death that seemed good to you.

"Full measure" is what you want, what you give and what you know you should get in your heart.

Strong women do not scare you, nor strong men.

You rage like a berserker at the Phone Company and then forget why you were so angry a few minutes later.

Stones seem wonderfully alive and full of stories to tell.
