Video Description: Speculative Asatru wedding scene from the movie Hvíti víkingurinn (The White Viking). "Here you can see some scenes of an heathen (Asatru) wedding as it may have been common across central and northern Europe before christianization. I like it because it is made very authentic. In the ceremony Askur and Embla marry. The priest calls Odin (the father of gods, god of wisdom, magic). Statues of Odin and Freya (the godess of love, magic, fertility) can be seen. Embla lies down two dolls to Freya to symbolize her connection with Askur. After the ceremony Embla receives presents from Greenland and Arabia. Finally Askur receives a Freya-pendant to protect their love. Freyas brother Frey (god of fertility, plants, etc) is also mentioned. Scenes are from the great movie "Hvíti víkingurinn" (the white viking), which is unfortunately very poorly known. A new version called "Embla" has been released recently, but it is also hard to get. The movie takes place in the year 1000 in Norway and shows the process of christianization.

Heathen Freehold Videos
3/17/2009
Because the Heathen Freehold videos were removed from YouTube (not by Asatru TV), the Asatru TV posts showing those videos have also been removed. There is no reason to maintain posts for videos that no longer exist. Perhaps they will produce more videos in the future.

Mike Smith - ALU Meditation
3/06/2009
Video Description: "Here is an example for using the very old runic formula of "ALU" for a magical chant and meditational tool. ALU has very ancient roots. The various theories of it's meaning all seem to correlated to a combinational idea of the words, "protection, sorcery, magic, ale, sacred, thrive, strengthen, ecstasy, etc". Possibily Proto-Indo-European root which gave rise similar Hittite words "alwanzahh "bewitch" and alwanatar "magic" the Greek word "aluein "rage or ecstasy" amongst many others. It does appear in numerous runestones, carved items, rings, and medalions, etc."
