In the Asatru/Heathen religion, the term Gothi/Gythia typically translates to priest/priestess. One of the most common questions to the Vidar's Gothi website is "How do I become a gothi?"
Though there is no formally recognized clerical class in Asatru, the question is still understood. The person wants to not just practice the religion but wants to help others in the community, to be a leader in the community.
This book represents the answer to that question. Through nine separate conversations between Elder and Younger, the reader is given advice on learning the religion, helping the community, responding to monotheists, and other useful things. You will find "recommending reading" in the form of book lists; books that are easy to find and easy to read for someone starting out.
- What is a Gothi/Gythia?
- What is the Asatru/Heathen view of cosmology?
- How do Runes figure in all of this?
- Why do monotheists outnumber us?
- How to fight against the use of our symbols by hate groups?
If you are interested in being a leader in the Asatru/Heathen community, this book can help you find your path.
