...to which "tribe" do you belong and who are your "gods"? Do any of these ancient texts have names?

I'm late to the party Jormungandr has already been zotted, but for what it's worth here's some info from one of his earlier posts:

I grew up in a Catholic family. I converted to Asatrú at age 14. Told my parents at age 16.

Yeah, they were pissed. They eventually let me be: I was not converting back, and forcing me to go through the motions without actually believing would be pointless in both our faiths.

If you Google (or Bing, if you prefer) Asatrú, you'll find that it's a weird concoction of Norse mythology and Germanic/Druidic paganism, with a dash of racial identity beliefs (think Aryanism). Think of it as "Germanic Hinduism" and you'll get the right idea. The Norse self-identification makes post #22 and post #56 all the more hilarious!

Hmm, it sounds a lot like the neo-pagan Germanic fake “aryan” culty stuff that was the foundation for the Nazi “philosophy”. “The Pink Swastika” goes into that a lot.
