Asatru is religion dedicated to the gods of the norse pantheon. The religion's name derives from the old Norse words meaning "faith in the Aesir." In the Old Norse Sagas the old faith is referred to as ‘Forn Sidr’ literally meaning ‘Old Custom ’. Other variations were ‘Forn Landsidur’ meaning ‘Old Country Custom’ and ‘Fornri sidvenju’ meaning ‘the practice of the Old Custom’
