Many heathens may not know where the term "Asatru" comes from. It was first used in a Norwegian orchestra from the later 1800s by Edvard Grieg, a composer and pianist, and writer Bjørnstjerne Bjørnson, who used the term "Eternal Asatro" in an unfinished opera about Olaf Tryggvason. Later being utilized in Iceland and America to give a name to the newly created religious and cultural practices inspired by ancient heathen customs.

You see ruins of what was,

I see foundations for what will be

It is absolutely wild to see the interpretations people make up about what they think the runes mean. It almost never goes along with the rune poems.

I will also go on record to say that anyone listening in to multiple sides of this controversy needs to exercise careful discernment in determining who is telling the truth and who is outright lying. I do not recommend you take my words at face value unless…

We walk in the light of ancestral faith, the most solid of foundations with boundless wonders

After discussing this topic, we have determined it was time to revise Sedian tenet #1. We want to separate ourselves from those who follow new age practices while solidifying Sedianism as a religious and philosophical practice that follows in traditional Germanic polytheism.

Here is the revised tenet.

1. Sedianism embodies the traditional worldview of Germanic polytheism. Our religion manifests itself in the morality, customs, and practice of the faith as it has been handed down to us from our ancestral sources.

We are here to declare our faith as a central belief system of the ancient Northern European people, and that we are here as moral, religious adherents to what we know is a recognition of the divine and their holy creation. We believe in a fundamental truth that spans into ancient history, and will not compromise our views for modern interpretations. This truth exists within our lore and within our experience with the divine, and cannot be shaken. We can prove, without a shadow of doubt, that our religion is devotional, that we have a system of ethics and morality, and that our eschatology reflects this system. We kneel before our Gods, we pray to them with great reverence, and we offer to them as followers of their path.
