Day of Remembrance for Jarl Haakon Sigurdsson of Norway
As ruler of the western part of the realm, Haakon Sigurdsson (Haakon the Great), one of the Jarls of Hladhir, restored the worship of the Old Gods. In the process, the common folk regained political liberties which were erased under Christian rule. It may be that Hakon's defense of our ancestral ways helped encourage the survival of our traditions in Iceland, where they eventually became the seeds of modern-day Asatru. On this day, Asatruar reflect an how the actions of the individual can impact world events and Orlog.
