Preface vii
next knocks it. I am not one of those authors. The older I get, the less I like to
argue and the more I like to play fiddle and play with my sons (and my wife, when
she lets me catch her). If you want to get hold of me to tell about a great fiddle
tune you heard, you’ll have my undivided attention; on the other hand if you want
to tell about a mistake I made in my logic–forget it, I’m not biting.
I put this book out for free. I did that for a reason. If you find that some of my
ideas are good, fine, they are there for the taking. Information is really no different
from fiddle tunes in my mind. They are both there to be taken–enjoyed. I don’t
figure the book’s a top-seller anyway, so I prefer to give it away. The way of life
that the Ása-Faith offers is an enjoyable thing, and this is my way of giving-back.
One other thing: I believe that the Ása-Faith should be free and personal. No
one can tell another how to experience life, and certainly, no one should pay to learn
about how to experience life. I am not against people coming together for Ása-Faith
holidays, but I still don’t like organized religion any more than Grampa Jack did. I
wrote The Ásatrú Folk Manifesto 1 in honor of him. He was my greatest inspiration,
was a family man, and farmer, an upstanding member of our little community, a
regular at the Grange, and the best of Grampas.
