True Brothers: A Guide to the Practice of Ásatrú in Prison

  by Edred

This book contains chapters on the history, cosmology and gods and goddesses of the ancestors. There is detailed discussion of the lore of the soul (psychology), and never-before discussed ideas about the use of the Nine Noble Virtues in the process of self-transformation. Additionally, there are long sections having to do with the maintenance of holy places in one’s environment and the fulfilling of the rites and ceremonies of the elder faith— Ásatrú or the troth. It contains material on rituals specially adapted from A Book of Troth. What is more these discussions specifically take into account the problems faced by incarcerated followers of the faith. The rites and ceremonies are fully described for the entire sacred calendar. The book also contains sections of the formation of kindreds and some information on your rights as a follower of Ásatrú. The volume concludes with a glossary of sacred terms and a bibliography. Never before has there been a book of this kind— one specifically dedicated to the needs and concerns of incarcerated followers of Ásatrú. The faith can grow in your minds and hearts and thus you can affect the growth of the faith in the greater world. This book holds keys to these ideas.
