I am looking for some essential books talking about European paganism. "Asatru" and "seidr", things of that subject. I know that with Wiccans and what not, the term "pagan" is very broad.
I just want to learn about the philosophy and religion of my ancient ancestors, I don't want to read about Wicca or any other modern fabricated bullshit. Where should I start reading?

Just read the Eddas and sagas and all that.

Read the poetic edda if you want to get stories and interactions between the gods directly. Read the prose edda if you want some idea of the way nordic poets worked. Haven't read the prose one but the poetic one in icelandic is vague as hell since most of the words are archaic and hard to understand. For clarification, Ásatrú literally means the belief in Ásir, another name of the gods. Seidur is a synonym for Galdur which means hexing/magic.

If you want a better grasp on the gods themself, I guess some kind of compilation of the norse mythology with explanations of their background stories. There are a lot of these available and are probably the best introductory source.

I have no idea where to go if you are into those galdrastafir, rúnir or the ritualistic aspects of the worship to the individual gods, but from what I gather it was rather similar to what happened with the pagan gods in southern europe and even the Mediterrean with Isis and other idolatry worship.

Only read the sagas if you are interested in the stories of medieval nordics and seafaring warriors, there is relatively little substance on the worship itself unless maybe mentioning some bits of rituals they came up with or what idols some leaders looked to when going to battle.

Not contradicting you, because you were only refering to aspects of worship and rituals, but
there's great wisdom in the sagas. Wisdom that is timeless and thus extremely relevant for people of European descent, today and always.

One example, the Nibelungenlied (Wagner's rendition too) has proved prophetic.

Lecture on the subject:
