In Thor We Trust: Swedes Revive 'Back to the Roots' Viking Heathenry


Pre-Christian paganism is on the rise across Scandinavia, as more Swedes choose to rejoin the traditional faith of Thor and Odin, despite being habitually accused of nationalism and their symbols being "expropriated" by neo-Nazis.

Ancient pagan beliefs appear to be making a comeback in Scandinavia. The Nordic Asa-Community alone has grown to over 800 members over just a few years, whereas older communities are picking up in numbers as well, the newspaper Dagens Nyheter reported. The name of the faith, Asatro, translates as allegiance to the Æsir, a set of deities in Norse mythology.

    1. Nailed! But I can't think of anything else that would be worst. :)

  2. This was an inevitability. The extreamism of Islam was bound to create an extreamist counter reaction. Hopefully it's not too late to save Sweden. But either way there will be a bloody conflict and then, hopefully, a re-Christianization of Sweden.
