Well, not trying to be a dick here, (seriously, it's hard to get "tone" on the internet) but you're willfully spreading misinformation about things we actually know quite a bit about. We know that Snorri's work was very much a product of his time and place. He and all his buddies were extremely literate. And a whole lot of all their works survived. As I said, we know quite a bit about him and Iceland/Scandinavia at that time. There are many scholars at universities around the world who spend their entire academic careers on piecing this all together, this thing we call Old Norse Religion. The info is out there, but it takes a lot of work. Even many of us armchair academic Heathens have spent many years working on this. One can't read "Asatru" books or blogs or whatever and expect to learn what Arch-Heathens actually believed. Most stuff written by any "Asatru" author is going to be crap, to be honest.
