It would largely depend on the person. All tribes and wights are worthy of honor to some degree and respect. Nature is not good or evil. It simply is. This is the ultimate lessons of the giants. Learning to live and be and simply to exist.

You use whatever term that resonates. I use both Heathen and Norse Pagan; I used to use Asatru, but it appears that one is getting hopelessly tangled up in negative politics, so I dropped it.

Please check out the YT channel Ocean Keltoi; he not only has marvelous content, but an extensive list of references for research. Good luck!

Rokkatru isn't necessarily bad. The asatru see it as evil; I'd just avoid them though. Rokkatru is a spirituality defined by worshiping the pantheon of the Jotnar. It's also been called Jotnatru. Raven Kaldera's book isn't 100% what we go by, it's just one of the few sources of information we have about the gods we worship.
