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. Though not considered diffrent branches in Asatru there exist two type of worshiping in Asatru, Æsirism and Vanarism. In Æsirism the Æsir gods being put in higher importance during prayer then the one of of the Vanir. While the opposite is true with Vanarism. It should be noted a Asatruar is unlikely to identify themself around this, and many followers who pray more frequently to one type of god over the other still views both type of gods as equal. Thor despite being a Æsir god, is frequently prayed to by all. 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.

The High Gothi serves for life and the next succesor is chosen by the monarch. |
