Words from our Allsherjargoði

Life is good! So many great things are happening all around us. Autumn is a very special time of year, especially for those of us aware that our ancestors are closer to us at this time. The more we incorporate Ásatrú into our lives, the deeper we feel the presence of our gods and, particularly, our ancestors with us. It is exceptionally touching to see that develop in our children. During the "holiday season," I encourage us all to make a special point of reaching across the very thin veil to connect with the ancestors—tell their stories, share their pictures, cook their recipes. Don't just remember them; take the next step and make offerings to them, speak TO them and WITH them.

Hail the Ancestors!

A great deal of excitement is in the air in anticipation of the Freyshof dedication coming up December 6th. This is truly a once in a lifetime occasion. AFA members and leaders from far and wide are converging on Austintown, Ohio to be there as we dedicate the Hof and present it as a gift to Freyr. If you are able, I would encourage you to come and share this very special occasion with us... you will not regret it.

Hail the Æsir!

Hail the Folk!

Hail the AFA!
