Title: Asatru and birth control

Stormarksgothi,

Is it allowed for Asatruar to use birth control?

There are no religious rules against birth control.

In my opinion, a couple should make their own choices on whether and when to have a family.

I notice that Asatru leaves a lot up to personal choice.

Thorfinn - April 10, 2006 02:33 PM (GMT)
Yes, one of the major points of Asatru is personal responsibility.

In fact, many modern Asatru use the "Nine Noble Virtues" (which were created by the Odinic Rite - an Asatru group in England) as a guide:

Courage
Truth
Honor
Fidelity
Hospitality
Discipline
Industriousness
Self-Reliance
Perseverance

The Troth, a group based in the United States, has listed the following as guides for behavior:

Boldness
Truth
Honor
Troth
Self-Rule
Hospitality
Industry
Self-Reliance
Steadfastness
Equality
Strength
Wisdom
Generosity
Family Responsibility
