International Ásatrú Summer Camp (IASC) 2009

“Runes spread out on a cloth. Separate signs with strength and
meaning. Yet together they are the Futhark - strong, powerful and
whole. Like these runes asatruars are spread across the World; like
these runes each asatruar has his own strength. Imagine then what
could happen when asatruars from across the World come together and
meet. Imagine all those strengths coming together to make a whole.
Because in Danmark 2009 this is what will happen. And we invite you
to be part of it.”

From July 27th to August 2nd 2009 Heathens from several countries (confirmed so far: Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Netherlands, Germany) will meet in Denmark to celebrate, discuss and promote Ásatrú - the Old Faith of the North. There will be worshops, music, food, art & craft and much much more.

Eldaring e.V.

The Eldaring was founded in 2000 C.E. as a German sister organization of The Troth (a USA based heathen organization). We are an indepent group, but cooperate closely and follow the same principles. We have since grown to a size of well over 170 members. The Eldaring has members mainly in Germany and Austria, but also a few in the US and other countries. Several local kindreds have been founded or are forming at the moment.

We follow the path of our Germanic ancenstors. We worship the Aesir, gods and goddesses of ancient Northern and Middle Europe. We reject any attempt to abuse our religion for political or racist agendas. We are a purely religious and non-political organization. To quote the preamble of our by-laws:

“The time has come once again to gather together those folk called to the land and the sky, who are awed by the majesty of the mountains and the deep beauty of the forest and the vastness of the sea. The time has come to sink deep the roots of those folk, noble and true, that our branches may again brush the heavens. This is the time of the Elder Troth, time for this faith and this way to rise again from the hearts of all men and women in and of the folk. Come together now to forge again the Hammer of the North, that steadfast Hammer which is our own Troth.

The ways of true men an women are many. The Eldaring promotes a multiplicity of approaches to the gods and goddesses, for the realities of these wights are many and have many true levels. We ask, then, that those who join us do so for religious and cultural reasons, and respect others who have done the same. The use of the Troth, its publications, or its activities as platforms for political or racial propaganda will not be tolerated.”

(This text was originally published in Idunna, member magazine of The Troth.)

The purpose and aims of the Eldaring are:

- To revive and practice the religion of our ancestors, to gather and propagate knowledge about the history, culture and religion of the ancient Germanic peoples.

- To educate our members, to further and provide the abilities needed to fullfill the religious needs of modern day heathens.

- To provide a platform of communication and cooperation between individuals and groups, based on religious ideas rather that political agendas.

- To coopererate on national and international levels with other tolerant, non-political groups that work for a peaceful revival and preservation of ethnic religions and folk traditions.

- To create and support public knowledge about and acceptance towards heathen / ethnic religions and to minimize prejudices based on the abuse of religion and culture by political extremists in past and present.

The Eldaring is also a member of the World Congress of Ethnig Religions (WCER) - www.wcer.org.
If you have any queries about the Eldaring, its members, principles or policies, feel free to contact us (see address below). We are very much looking forward to hearing from you.

The Eldaring is a partner organization of The Troth. We share the same basic ideas and cooperate closely. See their web pages at www.thetroth.org for information (in English).

May the gods and goddesses of our various traditions give us blessings and guidance!
