Asatru (or Ásatrú) is a religion which believes in the ancient Germanic spirits and Gods, and it was created in the 1960s in Iceland. The name comes from two words in a dead language called Old Norse. It means "faith in the Æsir." The Æsir are the Germanic gods.

A person who practices Asatru is called a heathen. If you want to talk about two or more followers of Asatru, you say they are Asatruar. Sometimes Asatru is also called heathenry or Germanic paganism.
