R: Nine Noble Virtues of Asatru

The Asatru moral code of conduct is known as the Nine Noble Virtues of Asatru.

The Nine Noble Virtues represent the distilled wisdom and ancient Germanic moral code gleaned from various ancient sources including the Poetic Edda (particularly the Hávamál), the Icelandic Sagas and Germanic folklore. To live as one of the True folk, you should lead your life in accordance with the Nine Noble Virtues.

Interpretations of these virtues range from person to person, and from Kindred to Kindred. The following represent some of our opinions on how the virtues should be interpreted
The ancient Heathens held these certain virtues to be spiritual law.

These were not at all the only moral values of the ancient Heathens, but perhaps the most highly regarded. The ancient tribal laws began as custom and tradition, and these laws constituted those customs and traditions.

Before anyone can even think of approaching the Gods & Goddesses of Asatru, they should first make sure they know these spiritual laws well and consistently strive towards them.

THE NINE NOBLE VIRTUES:

1) Courage

2) Truth

3) Honour

4) Fidelity

5) Discipline

6) Hospitality

7) Industriousness

8) Self Reliance

9) Perseverance

These virtues were kept to enhance these aspects of being & qualities of the soul:

Of Parts and Wholes: Self-similarity and Synecdoche in Science, Culture and Literature

Dirk Vanderbeke

The discussion here centers on how self-similarity, or parts resembling a whole, has been a recurring aspect in the most diverse fields of human thinking from antiquity to the present. Primary examples are drawn from physics, biology, cybernetics, alchemy, philosophy, myth and, of course, language and literature. The author argues that self-similar patterns are one of the persistent ways in which the human mind structures its experience and knowledge of the world, and then examines some of the questions that arise when an almost ubiquitous concept, structure or linguistic and literary phenomenon resurfaces in a new guise in hard science.
