Asatru - What Is The Meaning Of Asatru?




ASATRU -THE RELIGION'S FULL NAME. 


In antiquity, Odin's religion was known as ASATRU. 


  • 'Men loyal to the Aesir,' Asatru means. 
  • This is still the case in Iceland, where its adherents are known as 'Asatruarmennt.' 
  • In North America, it's known as Odinism, and the person who practices it is known as an Odinist. 
  • The Teutonic Tribes' Religion is another name for it. 


All of the above are the right answer that define Asatru.
