Everything you need to know about Norse Mythology, also known as Ásatrú and Forn Siðr.

It's a fascinating world of supernatural and hidden beings, and to some people's surprise, not only a thing of the past.

In the Nordic countries Ásatrú has blended with Christian Mythology to form the present day cultural folklore.

In all the Nordic countries it's even a triving and growing religion.

In international popular culture the Norse Mythology is often portrayed as grim, dark and scary, but in reality it's a celebration of life: the Æsir encourages humour, and indulgence in sex, drink, and food is considered sacred.

While Odin and Thor are well-known, a wealth of other, perhaps more intriguing, characters await discovery.

This Encyclopedia will give you all the informetion you need about every character, story, item, myth, contradiction, inconsistancy, perception, idea and philosophy within the Norse Mythollogy, and even give you an idea why Norse people think the way they do today.
