Germanic Theology, Vol. I: Poetic Edda: Lays of the Gods

by Tristan Powers

Paganism is the fastest growing religion in the world, and no branch is growing faster than Germanic paganism. While the Germanic peoples passed down to us an impressive body of myths, legends, and folklore, they passed down to us no real theology.Tristan Powers’ Germanic Theology fills that gap. Powers is a second-generation Germanic pagan, and a recognized scholarly authority among practitioners of this faith. He brings his deep learning to bear on the first section of the Poetic Edda, the lays and stories that tell of the gods themselves.This work is a comprehensive, line-by-line guide to the major source of Norse religion, the first of its kind whether ancient or modern. Drawing on a wealth of historical, linguistic, anthropological, and literary data, Powers gives us a scholarly view of the religion from the inside, as seen by a man of folkish sentiments who was born into it.
