Maybe because it was originally filmed for CanadaTv, but this is a real (albeit short) look at the Revival of Asatru in Iceland (where it's recognized as an official religion) without the kooks and loons that generally show up in these things.

Great, Rational Documentary on Asatru.
The Gods we worship write their names on our faces; be sure of that. A person will worship something, have no doubt about that. We may think our tribute is paid in secret in the dark recesses of our hearts, but it will out. That which dominates our imaginations and our thoughts will determine our lives, and our character. Therefore, it behooves us to be careful what we worship, for what we are worshipping we are becoming.

As believers in the folk-religion we are studying, we seek after mysteries that expand the scope of our gods and our understanding of them, not reductionist theories that reduce them to manageable and socially productive "functions".
