In many Norse Paganism branches, including but not limited to Asatru, adherents follow a set of guidelines known as the Nine Noble Virtues. This set of moral and ethical standards is drawn from several sources, both historical and literary. Sources include the Havamal, the Poetic and Prose Eddas, and many of the Icelandic sagas. Although various Asatruar branches interpret these nine virtues in slightly different ways, there seems to be some universality as to what the virtues are and what they stand for. With the understanding that we can learn something from all religions today, I would like to speak to you about the benefits of living a life by the nine noble truths. Following the nine noble truths will benefit your personal life, your family, and your community. But first, what are the 9 Noble Virtues. The Nine Noble Virtues is a set of moral and situational ethical guidelines within specific groupings of Odinism. They are supposedly based on virtues found in historical Norse paganism, gleaned from various sources including the Poetic Edda (particularly the Hávamál and the Sigrdrífumál), and as evident in the Icelandic Sagas). Regardless of whether this is true or something that was put together recently, they are valuable rules to live our lives by. The Nine Noble Virtues of Norse Paganism include moral and ethical standards drawn from several historical and literary sources.
