Thor, Odin and Freja thundering forwards

It all started with 3 worshippers of Odin and Thor that found each other on Amager (Island on which parts of Copenhagen lies, red). And the last 15 years the practitioning of the asa-faith has grown significantly, so today there are 30-40 groups of “heatners” as the asa-believers call themselves.


In a couple of years more than 30 new groups of asa-believers have appeared, shows new research from Aarhus University. “New groups are created all the time and I don’t think the heatheners have reached the top yet in Denmark says Rene Dybdal Pedersen, PhD Aarhus University DK and author of a new book. “ In service of the light – new religious and spiritual groups in Denmark”.

(asa is the old Scandinavian word for god, red.)
