Exposethefrauds

Nr 5 is called Åsatro - not Asatru - but then again english speaking people do not have Å in their alphabet And another things - it is loosely based on ancient nordic religion all the time we do not know so much about the ancient nordic religion - even though we might have some insight into it - as it was part of the larger germanic religion who the romans had some experience with - and the early Church com in contact with when they was starting to venture on the other side oft he Limits on their quest to baptize the pagans of europe... The ancient religion had more than four key deities - but for the most it is the four deities who is known to most people - Odin, Thor and the rest of the mighty good who ruled the world - and who could make people happy - or miserable if they choose to do it - Thor was maybe the most popular of them as he was everything a mighty warrior should be - strong - and able to do feats who was amazing maybe even goodly in nature - but he was also a good who had temper - got easy into problems with his anger - and could end up in a lot of mess - before he was able to get things as they should be -

Ancient norse belief did do animal sacrifice - in some desperate times even human sacrifice - but for the most part, it was animal sacrifice and not human - mostly because it was More easy to kill an animal - than to kill a human - and also because you could eat a animal - it was less popular to eat a human...

And I'm not sure what Yule is about - but I do know what Jul is - and the ancient norse did celebrated Jul - from a few days before todays Christmas eve - to a few days after Christmas Eve - and it was traditionally the time when families, and tribes - come together to celebrate the new year - and to feast on the food - and to do business between the families and tribes
