Fascinating read In this fascinating and well-researched work, Erik Hansen explores the revival of Norse paganism-an ancient religious tradition-in modern times. Based on ancient Viking legends, this book provides an overview of paganism's history in North America and Europe, as well as its beliefs, practices, and contemporary relevance for today's practitioners. This is an essential book for those interested in examining how mythological stories are interpreted, re-used, and re-imagined for modern audiences. (James Sanders - Ancient Asgard) Norse Paganism The Norse Pagan religion was one of the most important religions in the world, and it influenced all other religions. Erik Hansen wrote an extremely well-researched book about modern-day revivals of this old religion. The book covers all aspects of this ancient pagan religion and includes a history of its development and how it has changed over time. It also offers information about runes, Norse poetry, and mythology, as well as current practices such as runic divination and ritual for magic spells. This book would be most useful for anyone interested in learning about a past ancient pagan religion in order to revive it once again. (Olaf Pedersen - Norse Mythos Hub) Easy and informative This is a very well-researched and engaging book. The author explains the history of Norse paganism, which was the faith of Scandinavians, who were also Vikings. I found it interesting to read about how modern pagans do rituals based on ancient Viking legends and stories, as many of these things have survived only through oral tradition. Even though this book addresses a subject that is not always popular or easy to understand, it does so in a way that makes you want to learn more because everything is explained in such detail with references cited for sources; it's not simply someone's opinion. It's great to see a book like this being published at all because there are many people interested in Norse paganism who may feel alone or isolated due to their beliefs being suppressed throughout history by Christianity. (Anna Russell - Valhalla Voices) An excellent guide to discovering Norse paganism This book offers a descriptive guide to the world of Norse paganism as practiced by modern-day pagans and some details about ancient Viking beliefs. The author also describes various rituals and practices for finding inspiration, creating sacred space, honoring ancestors, celebrating holidays, and more. As the author notes, there is no one way to practice this highly personal form of spirituality, but this book does provide helpful insight into how Norse Pagans explore their faith and honor the gods. (Gordon Henderson - Saga of the North) Norse Paganism is more than mythology—it is a living tradition that continues to inspire people today. My goal in writing this book was to separate legend from reality and to offer readers a clear, engaging path into the beliefs, rituals, and values that shaped Viking culture.   I hope these pages help you not only understand the history and gods of the Norse people, but also see how their wisdom and practices can enrich your own spiritual journey in the present day.
