Ausitru is not a passive setting, it's something you do every day by choosing to stand with the Iseer. And that's not passive. It's an action. And a big part of that action is to develop a mindset where you base your decision making in part upon that loyalty to the Iser.

00:00:00.000 When in doubt, be truthful and pious.
00:00:06.520 If you rely on piety and honesty, that is a really good default setting when you're approaching being Ausitru,

00:00:29.740 keeping those things as as hallmarks and how you live your life will do you well
00:00:38.140 part of living ausitru is again and i think it's worth reiterating for
00:00:47.460 for all of us to be reminded, but also for first-time listeners.
00:00:53.660 Ausatru, yes, it means belief in the Iseer, if you look it up.
00:01:00.360 But if you look up the etymology, that belief is based on the concept of trough,
00:01:06.740 of trusting in, of putting your faith in, and being true and loyal to.
00:01:17.460 And that is a reciprocal thing.
00:01:20.560 It means true to or loyal to the Iseer.

00:01:27.080 It's not a passive setting.
00:01:30.100 It's something that you do every day by choosing to stand with them.
00:01:36.520 Something I would say is develop a mindset to where you base your decision making in part upon that trough.
00:01:47.460 So when in doubt, when in question, will an action be in line with that loyalty to the Iser?
00:02:02.200 As I mentioned earlier, the Iser want to be proud of us.
00:02:08.400 We honor them by being great.
00:02:12.180 We honor them by excelling.
00:02:14.840 They are better honored by heroes than by villains or by those that are not accomplished.
00:02:24.920 We honor them by making the very best of ourselves.
00:02:29.100 And a big part of that is when you wear a hammer, when you're Ausatru, and that defines who you are, you are their representative here in Midgard.
