Asatru concept of fate

Asatru is one of several modern religious movements that seek to revive the pre-Christian beliefs and practices of northern Europeans.  One of the more difficult concepts for newcomers to the faith and for outsiders is the notion of fate.  Norse mythology, folklore and sagas seem at first to be rather dour and fatalistic, with very little room for personal agency.  This is reflected in popular cultural references such as in The 13th Warrior where Herger says to Ibn Fadlan, "The All-Father wove…See More

Yasha Hartberg replied to giordio cieszkowski's discussion religion can be investigated scientifically, logically
"This would seem to need some clarification.  I can think of at least two ways to interpret this.  The first would be that religious beliefs, behaviors and practices can be studied scientifically.  The second would be that the content…"

Yasha Hartberg replied to giordio cieszkowski's discussion Polytheism
"I wonder if this should be further refined.  For instance, I have encountered polytheists who acknowledge many deities, but only those within their own pantheon, and other polytheists who acknowledge the existence of deities outside their own…"
