Also, Timmay, pray tell what you find so "fucking cool" about human sacrifice on a large scale?

The archaeological discovery is what's cool. You can't seriously believe I think massacres are cool.

Yup. People were hard core back then.

So people are soft now?

[Viking]

Here is something I don't understand.  Why would ancient warriors ever surrender, if it was a certainty that they would be slaughtered/executed/sacrificed?

Cowardice and the hope of pardon. Killing prisoners is timeconsuming.

My thinking is simple exhaustion, hunger and thirst played parts.

You seem pretty excited by the prospect of it.

The teuotobergerwald has been found and is hundreds of kilometers from that place.

Exactly - the attempt to link this find to Tacitus' account of that battle doesn't make a ton of sense.  Apples and oranges.

I actually know some of these people so, no meri, no.

What defines an actual Asatru?

What defines an actual Asatru?

Etymology

Æsir the pantheon of gods
trú the icelandic word for faith

the word actually just means belief in the gods.

[Maximus]

So if someone calls themselves Asatru they are actual Asatru? Good, we are in agreement then.

Depends. Are there official guidelines? 

[Maximus]

I don't know of any such group that claims to have divinely inspired scripture if that's what you mean.

Yes, and mormons call themselves christian. The thing is you can call yourself whatever you want. I'm rich, popular and handsome, plus my penis is over two foot long. I just choose my own meanings of the words rich, popular, handsome and foot.
