Specialy by scholars. Less then 1% of~~ the population follow an movement called the Cult of Loki, officaly not considered as an religion by the Norgsveltian goverment, stating that "cults like these can not be considered as a religion. As they are to dangerous to get the protection of the state". The Cult of Loki is an movement claiming that the god ~~Loki in Asatru is the only good god in in that religion.

While [[Asatru]] does have diffrent branches those branches is mostly for political reasons then religious ones. The religous divide in Asatru happening in the late 1700s when king Gustaf II of Norgsveldet made himself head of the Asatru religion. Which religous divide to those who recognised the Norgsveltian monarch religous authority and those that did not. Later on being called Gustafstic Asatru for those who recognise the Norgsveltian monarch as head of the Asatru faith giving him the title of Saint of the Asatru faith, and the ones who rather recognise the Gothirs as the religious leaders of the Asatru faith as Gothiric Asatru. With Gothirs accross Gothiric Asatru chosing the High Gothir of Asatru, as a personal embodiment to counter the Norgsveltian monarch religious authority.

The god Odin is seen as the main god, it is often his son Thor that is frequently prayed to and whorshiped. Which also can be seen with certain people following the religion often wearing [[Wikipedia:Mjölnir|Mjölnir]] as a necklace. In an similare way with the cross being used as necklace. Though not considered diffrent branches in Asatru there exist two type of worshiping in Asatru, Æsirism and Vanarism. In Æsirism the worship of the Æsir gods being put in higher importance then the one of of the Vanir. While the opposite is true with Vanarism. The main god of worship in Vanarism is Njord, while in Æsirism it is Odin. The god Thor is considered to be an god that both type follow, despite Thor being an Æsir god.

There is however gods like Hel the goddess of Death, that does not fit either type of worship as she is neither Æsir or Vanir, but a Jotun in which according to tradition, shall be respected but never worshiped.

In 1950 the seperation between Temple and state happened, while attempt before was made it was not before under the labour party leadership of Agnir Hansen that seperation was succesful. There is however still alot of connection between the Asatru temple and state, more specificaly between the monarch and the temple. The seperation being only between the elected goverment and temple. By Norgsveldet consitution the monarchy must be an fellower of the Asatru faith and it's teachings. The monarch of Norgsveldet is also the de jure head of the Asatru faith, meaning that theoraticaly the Norgsveltian King hold highest religious authority. However most of the religious matter in Norgsveldet itself holds with the High Gothi of Norgsveldet. With most religious matters in Norgsveldet is handled by the High Gothi, such as religious events. The High Gothi serves for life and the next succesor is chosen by the monarch.

Norgsveldet use a diffrent calendar then what most of Urth follows likewise with other Asatru countries that follow the Nori calendar, an calendar made for the basis of after the death of Asatru's founder. According to that calendar the current year is ~~1370~~ ADN.
