Wandering Gods
Have you ever wondered where the ancient pagan gods of Europe, Odin, Zeus, Jupiter, Thor, truly came from?
Wandering Gods reveals the fascinating origins of Norse mythology, Celtic mythology, and European pagan traditions, tracing their roots to the nomadic Indo-Europeans of the Pontic-Caspian steppes around 6,000 years ago, carried across continents through vast migrations.
Blending comparative mythology, genetics, archaeology, and history, this accessible book uncovers how shared deities and beliefs shaped cultures from Ireland to India. Along the way, you’ll meet Cheddar Man and Ötzi the Iceman, explore the Norse cosmic tree Yggdrasil, uncover the myths of Celtic druids, encounter the gods of Greek mythology and the Roman pantheon, and reveal the linguistic roots that connect Indo-European myths, languages, and rituals across distant lands.
Written in vivid, jargon-free prose, Wandering Gods takes you through Celtic myths, Norse traditions, Greek mythology, Roman gods, pagan spirituality, Viking history, and the linguistic roots that shaped Europe’s ancient heritage. Whether you are fascinated by mythic traditions, drawn to spiritual heritage, or curious about the roots of belief itself, this book will guide you into a past where divine beings once roamed - begin your journey today and uncover your connection to their timeless legacy.

February 19, 2026This was so interesting! I was losing focus towards the end, but I’m pretty sure that’s on me rather than the book.
