It is pretty difficult to answer this one because many countries prohibit religious census such as France. Also, many Asatruar are pretty discreet about revealing their faith. We can say roughly that we are 100000 to 300000 in the US, maybe 10000 in Canada, 100000 to 300000 in Europe and 300000 for the rest of the world. We only estimate these numbers from Asatru portals such as Irminsul Aettir.
The Asatru Alliance is based in the United States, with its headquarters located in the state of Florida. The organization has chapters and members throughout the country, promoting the practice and preservation of Asatru, a modern revival of the ancient Germanic pagan faith.
The Asatru Blot is the most Common Ritual within Asatru. For a more in-depth understanding of the complete ritual; look up - Lewis Stead's Book of Shadows: Asatru Blot. xyr0x A blot is a celebration where people of the Asatru Faith offer things such as mead, other alcohol and food. Asatru is one of the oldest Germanic Religions there is. By the way Asatru is a modern revival so it does not fit into Neo Paganism.
Yes. Modern Paganism consists of many paths, including Druidism, Asatru, Shamanism, and many forms of Goddess worship. Additionally, there are many indigenous Pagan practices throughout the world. Finally, many people practice their own form of spirituality, wherein they relate to the world in a Pagan way.

The faith that we now call Asatru has been in existence for many more years than are recorded in history. Asatru, which means "belief in the gods," is a modern reconstructionist religion based on the faith practiced by the Norse people who first appeared around 40,000 years ago. Therefore it could be said that the origins of the beliefs are up to 40,000 years old, so even if there was a 'founder,' we will probably never know their name. Followers of Asatru will tell you that the faith on which our modern practice is based was 'founded' when the world was created, when the ice of Jotunheim and the fires of Muspelheim met and a landscape was formed. There is no prophet; no single individual to whom we can trace the religion. Several people can be credited with 'founding' the modern reconstructionist movement which began c. 1970, such as Stephen MacNallen, who founded the Asatru Free (now Folk) Assembly in 1973.
Asatru Folk Assembly was created in 1994.
Asatru Free Assembly was created in 1974.

The modern reconstructionist movement that we call Asatru began in the 1970s. However, the faith on which it is based has been in existence in one form or another for upwards of 40,000 years.
