A rooted and honest presentation of our deep traditions, symbolism and culture. A chronological journey through the traditions we today take for granted, without most of us knowing the original roots and content of them. A journey that takes the reader on a Norse renaissance. At least in consciousness, in knowledge and in the great, rich and life-celebrating world view we have inherited from our ancestors.
A good book to understand how the Scandinavians view the old gods as symbols and forces of nature instead of divine beings if that is what you are looking for.
This is one of the best books I’ve ever read. Invaluable not only to Norwegians, but to anyone of Germanic or general European heritage. It gives a great overview of all the High Festivals observed by our ancestors and the meaning behind them. It has been a pleasure to read, thank you Vegard.
