Overview

This book is being written from a different perspective to other books published on aspects of what is known variously as Asatru, The Northern Tradition and Odinism to present a handbook of accumulated data so that people can read and interpret it for themselves, aided by sometimes conflicting or complementary opinions clearly labelled as such. This enables the modern reader to develop and adapt their own theories and practices, rather than have them laid out by someone else. Trying to glean odd kernels of Heathen truth from academic writers who have not much interest in Heathenry, from a scattering of books and journals that do not invite easy access is not for the faint hearted. Where possible Pete compares more than one source of information. Trying to subjectively observe a movement from within, whilst being a part of it oneself is a delicate path to tread, but in this book Pete does an admirable job, separating them from the historical data being presented.

Reviews

This book is not a how-to manual filled with rituals, although there are some ideas and a sample Blot at the end of the book to get you creating your own from the material you have read. I was immensely pleased to see excellent footnotes and a good sized bibliography which should inspire the reader to read further and deeper into this fascinating subject and this book certainly brings you closer to the way things were seen and done in those times... I enjoyed this book immensely, I can see that in some sections where the author talks about his conclusions, they could be contentious for some readers, but that is also what makes the book great - it makes you think. I can certainly imagine Heathens sitting down at a pub discussing this book, and it causing some great debates! Pentacle magazine
