WaylandsWings the Study Havamal is a good supplementy book to any heathen study group.
WaylandsWings The pantheon overlaps to some extent. These books do have a different focus, one is based on 1980's Folkish Asatru, the other on solitary Inclusive/Universalist Nordic Paganism.

Brief outline of basic Ásatrú essentials
By J M on Sep 06, 2018
I bought this book mainly out of curiosity - How is Ásatrú presented to those imprisoned?
It's a nice little booklet. Very brief outline on various topics. The only thing I didn't like about the book is the typesetting is extremely small (which is how the author was able to pack so much info in such a small space). Thus the show more reason for only four star, though the content itself is five star. But it did have a few little sketches and diagrams which I love.
The book mislabels a chapter so chapter 5 becomes chapter 6 and so on.
Chapter 7 has a some basic Rites one can perform (Hammer Working, Daily workings, Winter Nights, Yuletide, Mother Night, Twelfth Night, Disting, Midsummer, A Blessing of Týr)
The last chapter (9) is entitled, "Your Rights", and it encourages incarcerated Asatruars to learn their religious rights (i.e. it differs from state/locality/institution) and to ensure the prison lives up to the rights they do have.
Overall, it's a good read, especially if someone is a beginner. show less
