Note:

Besides the Sagas and Eddas, we find books written prior to the year 1899ce to be the best for inspiration and accuracy due to their originality and the fact that they are generally the purest source of information on our Faith to build a basis on. Works written afterwards are most often rewording of the previous works (rule excludes von List).

We all know to well when a story is retold it changes ever so slightly to reflect the teller. We believe the Asatru movement to have begun during the Victorian Romantic Movement in the latter half of the 19th century as evidenced by these works; not the late 20th century as many would have us to believe. It was then known as "Asa-Faith" just as it is today. Most of these works are rare and have not been available until recently due to technological advances in information sharing.
