Are there Holy days of celebration and feasting that should be observed within Asatru / Odinism?
A. Yes there are Blots, Feasts, and Sumbles* that should be celebrated, as was the custom of our ancient Ancestors. The Asatrú Calendar that follows will work for any given year. These are the dates observed by members of Wodan’s Kindred and others of the Asatrú Community throughout Vinland and Europe. Some Feast Days may be observed on the nearest Saturday or Sunday to the actual observance. However, Ostara, Midyear, Winter Finding, and Mother Night, should be observed on the exact dates because of their solar alignments. Asatru is a pragmatic religion, that is without a doubt. If you cannot observe a particular Blot on the actual day, due to work, family obligations, etc., then move it to the nearest weekend remembering that this move should be viewed as the exception, rather than the rule.
