Are there really no Asatruers in here..?
I don't practice Asatru, but I am from a Norwegian family, and some elements of modern Asatru are part of Norwegian family culture, whether all my great-aunts will admit it or not You'll find a lot of veiled refereneces on the Sons of Norway website. There are also a few holidays that Norwegians practice not so much as religion rather than culture, like Dec 13th, Sancta Lucia Day. That's actually a really good example of the 'spirit' of Norwegian culture in use today, which I believe is directly related to Asatru in the values and traditions that are important to Norwegians today. That, and potatoes! (kidding about the potatoes, mostly)
