This album would not have been possible without the interest, feedback and support of Asatruar all over Midgard. Our thanks go to you, and may the Gods be with you on all your ways!

Three main ideas went into the project:

a) To provide Asatru songs that are not the Viking-Metal-Valkyrie-take-me-to-Valhall type for once, but about living Asatru in our real lives, and our own times and places,

b) To promote not only the listening to, but the active singing of songs within Asatru. While the songs are sophisticated enough to be good entertainment, they are at the same time designed to be easily learned and sung by groups and by people who don´t often sing; guitar chords were kept easy and will be published at a later time.

b) To be something you can with good conscience play or lend to your neighbor, your work-mate, your child´s teacher or kindergarten assistant, as it informs about our faith, our gods and our community in a representable way. The lyrics are, within the scope of our faith, family-friendly.

The booklet informs on 8 pages with German/English side-to-side texts about Asatru, the relevance of songs within our faith, the meaning of the myth of the skalds´ mead, about the artists, and the Asatru Ring Frankfurt who is happy to present this album as a contribution to our community :-).
