    Hi!
    Are there any Ásatrúar on boards?
    We are new to Ásatrú and are looking for others to have a bit of chat :D

    Well, you have me for one :)

    Not too sure if there are any others. We tend to be fairly thin on the ground over here, at least in my experience.

    I know of two in Dublin and one in Wicklow, maybe also another in Limerick. Of course you also have Steven Grundy (aka Kvendulf Gundarson) and his wife Melodi living in the Midlands.

    Young and alone on a long road,
    Once I lost my way:
    Rich I felt when I found another;
    Man rejoices in man,

    Says it all really.

    Really, that few? I've seen a lot of people over the years wearing Mjölnir pendants, I would always have assumed that most of them would be Ásatrúar. Or some form of neopagan incorporating Thor, anyway.
