| 6. | Description | Abstract | An introductory first-person narrative establishes Asatru as both an outlier and a participant in the American cultural milieu. The development of Asatru is set within the larger context of the growing contemporary Pagan movement and three cultural factors for the growth of Asatru in America are discussed. The personal motivations of Asatru adherents are also addressed. The study is framed by the importance of paying attention to new religions, which leads to a greater understanding not only of an alternative religion but also of our society by providing a critique to modern selfhood. |
