I hjärtat av de nordiska länderna, där de snöklädda fjällen möter de vidsträckta skogarna och de djupa sjöarna, finner vi en rikedom av kulturell och jordnära arv. Det är här, bland de dramatiska landskapen och de uråldriga traditionerna, som Nordiska Asa-samfundet tar sin plats som en bevarare och stöttepelare för vår tro, vårt arv, vårt ursprung och våra traditioner. Asatro, eller tillbedjan av de nordiska gudarna och gudinnorna, är en tro som har rotat sig djupt i den nordiska kulturen och historien. Den sträcker sig tillbaka till forntiden då våra förfäder, med sitt djupa band till naturen och kosmos, fann förankring i en tro på krafter som Oden, Tor, Freja och alla de andra makterna. Denna tro har överlevt århundraden av förändringar och utmaningar och lever idag vidare genom Nordiska Asa-samfundet.

In the heart of the Nordic countries, where the snow-covered mountains meet the vast forests and deep lakes, we find a wealth of cultural and earthly heritage. It is here, among the dramatic landscapes and ancient traditions, that the Nordic Asa-Community takes its place as a guardian and pillar of our trú, our heritage, our origins, and our traditions. Asatru, or the worship of the Norse gods and goddesses, is a belief deeply rooted in Nordic culture and history. It dates back to ancient times when our ancestors, with their deep connection to nature and the cosmos, found anchorage in a faith in powers such as Odin, Thor, Freyja, and all the other mighty beings. This belief has survived centuries of changes and challenges and lives on today through the Nordic Asa-Community.

Donate to the fundraising for our Asa-center. Gudahof / Asa-center. We currently have plans and drawings for the Asa-Centre, which we will build as soon as we have the membership base and financial possibilities. In addition to building the Asa-centre or hof, we will work to run premises or places where Asatruers can meet and practice their customs. We will of course try to build at least one Asa-centre or similar in each Nordic country and where we have a membership base. When we have the Asa-centre/Hof ready, we will also build burial cairns and ensure that people can be both married and buried in their own faith. https://gofund.me/906f7396

About the upcoming Disablót. The Disablót is one of the most famous blót´s, and like the Midvinter blót/yule one of the most misunderstood blót´s. The Disablót did not take place at the beginning of February, but at the third month called Göja/Göje (today between around the end of February and mid-March). It was when the Swedes were Christianized that the Disting/Disablót was moved to the Christian holiday of the Candle Mass, which is at the beginning of February (today on February 2) and even today Disting market is organized. Disting/Disablót is mentioned by Adam of Bremen, according to him, this simply takes place in Old Uppsala in the month of Göje after the vernal equinox and all inhabitants of Svitjod (Sweden) had to participate, if they did not want to participate they had to pay a fine. The disablót is deeply rooted in the veneration of the Disir´s – a group of powerful female forces closely associated with destiny, fertility, protection, and the general well-being of the family and community. The Disir´s are central figures in the Asatru, they are linked to the Nornirs who determine our destinies but also to the fylgior´s, thus the Disir´s are revered in part as ancestral guardians who exert a profound influence over our lives. They watch over their kin, guarantee prosperity, offer protection and guidance through both everyday and spiritual challenges. But the disir´s are also associated with the Valkyries and the Vanadis Freya. The Disablót falls on the first full moon before the Victory Blót and lasts for one day/night. If you want to use the disting-rule, the Disablót is the third full moon after the first new moon after the winter solstice. The disting occurs every nine years with the same calculation. Every nine years the Disting was held. The event lasted for 9 nights, a market was organised, horse races, parties and, of course, the usual blót, etc. The market survived Christianisation and is still organised today, but around a Christian holiday. In the Icelandic sources it is mentioned that the Disablót was performed in connection with the holiday of Winter Nights, this is probably the Icelanders’ and Norwegians’ time for the Disablót while the Swedes held it in the spring.

🇬🇧 text is further down in the post. 3500 år gammalt gravröse skövlas – kulturarvet offras för Norrbotniabanan! Ett av våra äldsta och mest värdefulla fornminnen, ett 3500 år gammalt gravröse från bronsåldern i Junkboda utanför Skellefteå, ska nu brutalt förstöras för att ge plats åt den nya järnvägen Norrbotniabanan. Vid en förundersökning upptäcktes gravkammaren – ett utrymme stort nog för en människa, omslutet av massiva stenhällar och täckt av runda stenar, det klassiska kännetecknet för ett gravröse. Nu ska detta ovärderliga minnesmärke utplånas. Och detta är bara början. Gravröset är långt ifrån det enda offret för detta skoningslösa infrastrukturprojekt. Hundratals fornminnen har redan identifierats som hinder för bygget, och fler kommer att gå samma öde till mötes. Vår historia suddas ut, vårt kulturarv raderas – allt i effektiviseringens och exploateringens namn. Att medvetet utplåna vår historia och vårt kulturarv är inte bara en skam – det är en skandal! Vi har en skyldighet att skydda det som återstår av våra förfäders arv, inte jämna det med marken. Att offra våra forntida minnesmärken för modern expansion är en skymf mot både vår historia och framtida generationer.

One of our oldest and most valuable ancient monuments, a 3,500-year-old Bronze Age burial cairn in Junkboda outside Skellefteå, is now set to be brutally destroyed to make way for the new Norrbotnia railway line. During a preliminary investigation, the burial chamber was discovered—a space large enough for a human, enclosed by massive stone slabs and covered with rounded stones, the classic hallmark of a burial cairn. Now, this invaluable monument is about to be erased. And this is just the beginning. The burial cairn is far from the only victim of this ruthless infrastructure project. Hundreds of ancient remains have already been identified as obstacles to construction, and more will meet the same fate. Our history is being erased, our cultural heritage obliterated—all in the name of efficiency and exploitation. Deliberately destroying our history and cultural heritage is not just a disgrace—it is a scandal! We have a duty to protect what remains of our ancestors’ legacy, not level it to the ground. Sacrificing our ancient monuments for modern expansion is an insult to both our history and future generations.

For those seeking to know the dates of our holy days, my recommendation is to study Robert Sass, who I call the Heathen Calendar Guru. Some might have other calendars they prefer, but Robert backs up his dates with more references from our primary and secondary sources than anyone I know. I will post the links to his blogsite and youtube channel. We have to do our best to get the Wiccan Wheel of the Year BS out of traditional Germanic Heathenry. 99% of Asatru also uses some version of this Wiccan/Christian-influenced Wheel garbage. Our ancestors would have no idea what you're doing if you're following this modern New Age cult. https://www.aldsidu.com/post/2025-heathen-calendar-for-old-ways-heathens

Does anybody here belong to Asatru Uk?

Today it's the Asatru Day. This day is developed by the Nordiska Asa-samfundet (Nordic Asa-community) The 9/9 (September 9) each year is the sacred day. Nine days Odin was sacrificed by hanging, to himself, in Yggdrasil. The number 9 was sacred in pre-christian time. And still is. The Asatru Day is a day of reflection and a day to honor with good food and drink with family and / or loved ones. A day we will give an extra thought to those we have around us in our everyday lives and those who gave us all we have to rejoice. Young as old. We also make an blót together and show the Gods that we honor them and show our appreciation. One blót where we do not request anything in return but a mere respect. Hail!

A curious question. Are you a practicing asatruers/norse heathen/Norse pagan?
