The Hammer Project

Most people remember the long battle to have the Pentacle included in the VA's list of registered religious symbols available for inclusion, which was only made public, let alone resolved, in the past couple of years. I had heard of such a movement for the mjollnir, or Thor's hammer, to be included for those who follow Asatru. I was doing some digging online and ran across a site for just such a movement that has a petition. The petition is called the Hammer Project, and is set up by an organization called the Asatru Folk Assembly. The word "Asatru" translates to mean "those loyal to the Gods", and is a reclaiming of traditional Germanic religion, much as Druidry is a reclaiming of traditional Celtic religion. They are a smaller community than either Wicca or Druidry in North America, but I think it would behoove us to remember our fellow Pagans who reverence their native Gods, and especially those who risk their very lives for us and our religious freedoms.The Hammer Project can be found here.The Asatru Folk Assembly can be found here.
