A bold initiative
In the vibrant and ever-evolving landscape of Heathenry, access to reliable and insightful resources is paramount. In a world grappling with misinformation and disinformation, access to credible sources and diverse perspectives is our strongest defense. Whether you are a long-time follower of the Old Ways or you are newly exploring the lore and traditions, we are all on a journey to learn more. Creating a comprehensive collection of books is prohibitively expensive. This is true even when sharing the burden amongst a kindred. Recognizing this vital necessity, we, The Asatru Community are embarking on an ambitious initiative: the Heathen Library Project.
Bridging the Gap
This isn’t just about stacking shelves with dusty tomes or sharing a handful of academic articles. The Heathen Library Project is a dynamic effort to create an accessible repository of knowledge encompassing the rich tapestry of Heathenry. As a digital library, this project will offer a vast collection of ebooks, PDFs, and audiobooks. The academic link library will gather scholarly articles and simplify finding relevant sources when digging into Heathenry. Think of it as a growing hub where individuals can delve into the Eddas, sagas, historical accounts, archaeological findings, and modern interpretations of our ancestral traditions.
The Asatru Community strives to empower individuals on their Heathen paths. The Heathen Library Project aims to supply them with the tools for deeper understanding and personal growth. This initiative fosters a stronger, more informed community, capable of engaging in meaningful discussions, preserving our heritage, and building a vibrant future.
Why is this project so important?
Education
A well-stocked library promotes learning and critical thinking, allowing individuals to develop a personal understanding of Heathenry.
Preservation
The library will help safeguard important texts and guarantee their availability for future generations. It is important in our current political climate as religious views out of the mainstream are being suppressed.
Community Building
By providing a shared resource, the project fosters connection and collaboration within the Heathen community
Encourages book clubs and saga discussions.
Accessibility
This project aims to bridge that gap, making valuable resources available to a wider audience.

- Digital access: Makes resources available regardless of geographical limitations.
- Audio books :Allows individuals to engage with the lore, sagas, and scholarly works while commuting, exercising, or performing other tasks. Beyond convenience audio books supports those with visual impairments, and other challenges.
The Heathen Library Project will actively contribute to a more informed community. It will also build connections and empower individuals. This effort echoes the fundamental need for accessible and diverse information in our complex and evolving world.
Imagine the possibilities: a future where anyone seeking to understand Heathenry has ready access to a wealth of information. Knowledge is powerful, fostering a deeper appreciation for our traditions and strengthening our community from within. We hope that you will support this initiative. The Heathen Library Project is more than just a library; it’s an investment in the future of Heathenry.
