I would not give this anything more than a 2.8/5, principally because it lacks more information. Its a good read for those intellectuals who are more than well read on the subject. If you sadly don't know your Nordic mythology, well tough luck. Also, Bau's essay at the end gave it an anticlimactic ending to the book. Paganism as a pantheistic creed, its interesting to see his perspective but I do not fully by it, it lacks its mysticism and even Savitri Devi and the gnostics have a better interpretation of paganism. The first essay by Ramón Bau which I am quite dissapointed in to be fair, wish me luch in reading his next one "judeo-cristianismo".
