Modern day Asatru practitioners of good firth have to run constant vigilance against supremicists creeping in. Some folks make it in to good groups from cruel groups and have trauma to work out from being around that vitriolic perspective.

A lot of the effective work comes down to actively communicating openness and inclusion for practitioners from all backgrounds that are willing to do same.

IOW Norse pantheon worshipers talking and walking as equal and allied with POC and queer folks all the time makes the right jerks uncomfortable.

This. So much this.

I really wish more queer folk and POC would get into Ásatrú. Most of us are just people that enjoy being out in nature and reading old books, sometimes at the same time.

And we drink a lot of coffee.

Plus! Sometimes we even have cookies!
