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.
