There's a lot of discussion of going to be with one particular diety, so a lot of folks do have such a goal in mind. I've always thought that was an idea imported from other faiths. Well, the Lay of Harbard does mention thralls going to be with Thor; and Egil Skallagrimsson's daughter said she hoped to be with Freyja after starving herself to death. So the idea of living with a deity after death isn't *completely* incompatible with Asatru; it's just that this isn't the ultimate goal of the religion, I have to disagree with you there Ingeborg. nor one that all its followers want or expect. Maybe not but I certainly live in hope. Please keep this crap out of alt.alien.vampire.flonk.flonk.flonk |
