The Irminsul Ættir is an
Ásatrú
church organization, a voluntary association of Ásatrúar to practice the religion,
facilitate networking, sharing of resources, developing educational material and programs,
fostering cooperation and the promotion of
Ásatrú.
We recognize the strength of
Ásatrú
to be in its diversity and connections to the past and consider the individual and his or
her family to be the most important unit of
Ásatrú
followed by extended family type organizations and associations such as kindreds. We believe
that organizations should exist to support the growth of individuals in their faith and that
leadership positions on any level should be a matter of responsibility, not priviledge.
"Organization is not a goal, but rather, the foundation for all future goals."

As part of our commitment to developing inter-organizational cooperation,
resource sharing, as well as providing support and educational opportunities to
the Ásatrú community we sponsor a
mailing list, the Irminsul
Ættir webpages, and other resources, as well as promoting and holding mootings,
meetings and Things. A primary commitment to the Asatru and heathen community
began with sponsoring a yearly
Althing
that is open to anyone to attend in frith.
