The
Ásatrúarfélagið is an
Icelandic religious association of the
Germanic folk religion (Ásatrú, "faith of the
Æsir") with the purpose of promoting and continuing
Norse paganism. It was founded on the
First Day of Summer, 1972, and granted recognition as a registered religious organization in 1973, allowing it to conduct legally binding ceremonies and collect a share of the church tax.
