Example Sentences
- "Vanatru and Rokkatru are newer traditions that branched off from Asatru."
- "Rokkatru is a form of heathenry that many shy away from. The term Rokk as some people say, means dark or shadow. Rokkatru is a practice of heathenry that deals with worshiping the Jotunar, or the Giants."
- "Rokkatru is a controversial addendum to the family; in response to the shunning of Loki and his family in American heathenry, some who honor Loki, Angrboða, Fenrir, et al. responded by framing a subset of heathenry that focuses on the Jotuns and forces of chaos (hence the name Rokkatru, referencing faith in the bringers of Ragnarok)."
Etymology
From Old Norse røkkr (“twilight”) + trú (“faith”), referencing Ragnarok, the apocalyptic battle foretold in Norse mythology, itself from regin (“gods”) + rǫk (“fate, judgment”).
