As for your "initiate" they probably either have their terminology screwed up, or they themselves think too highly of themselves ;)
Given the two people who do it most often is a 3rd degree in B*?
As for Asatru, I have never been one to assume that wearing a something that a particular group/religion/whatever has claimed as as symbol of theirs means a connection. Lots of people wear those things. If that were true then every fairy star wearing fluff bunny out there would be linked to B* in some way.
Feeling like I need to have a conversation with someone who knows Asatru. I'm not sure why but the Norse dieties seem to have an interest in me. Perhaps because of the connections of the people around me. Still, the numbers have risen significantly and that generally means something to me. Of course the people around me who look to the Norse dieties do not do so in the Asatru way. A different perspective might be nice.
