Old CNN article mentioning asatru

[beowulf]

This article from Sept. 2000 mentions asatruar in Indianapolis. About 'neo-pagans' using the 'net as a communication/outreach medium. Imagine that. :D



Amid the swirling cigarette smoke in a downtown coffeehouse, the ancient pantheon of pagan deities comes alive, conjured up over coffee in the conversation at two adjoining tables.
The Indiana Asatru Council, a group of modern pagans who worship old Norse deities and a smattering of other gods, has gathered for its weekly meeting.

:D I couldn't help but laugh reading that article.


Wiccans, Druids, shamans, goddess-worshippers and people who revere members of the ancient lineup of Roman, Greek, Egyptian and Celtic deities are showing up online and in public more often these days.

Whenever Wicca and Odinsim are put in the same basket or are talked about in the same context I cringe :( .
