Asatru, or Heathenism, is known as the ‘one with the homework’ and for good reason. For many people new to the faith, and those who have a deeper experience, the push is for books. Books and more books. Which, spoiler alert, I have a total love for. Although there’s a lot of information you can learn, and books are a way to do that, there are other ways. Books might not be your thing, you might have severe dyslexia, be unable to keep focus on written texts, or not have pennies to spend on copies for yourself. So, before you go asking Book-Santa to bring you a whole mini-library of texts that you then have to do the hard work of slogging through, there’s a few things to consider first.
