In Asatru, Erin Lale provides listeners with an accessible introduction to this heathen religion, one of the fastest growing religions in the United States and Europe. The book includes these key topics:

• A brief exploration of Asatru's mythology and prehistory, its contact with Rome, and its history up to the present day
• A comprehensive survey of Asatru's many gods and goddesses
• The rituals, including holiday celebrations, toasting rituals, weddings, and other life events
• The moral virtues of a true Asatruar: courage, honor, loyalty, truth, hospitality, industriousness, self-discipline, self-reliance, and steadfastness
• The magical practices of rune divination, spells, and bersarkrgangr
• A look at the "universalist" and "folkish" interpretations of the Asatru tradition and the "hijacking" of the symbolism of the northern European religions in the 19th and early 20th centuries
