This book guides the reader through the history and myths of Germanic and Celtic tribes, exploring how these beliefs have shaped folklore throughout time. This book will consider, with examples, various types of beliefs both within and outside formal religion, especially since folk beliefs held positions of their own alongside official religion but were just as much a part of people's lives as any official faith.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eToday, we are often presented with the idea that daily life is separated from the religious sphere. For example, we visit Church on Sundays and then return to our daily routine. By contrast, regarding folklore and religious life in the past, lines were far more porous. People needed to appease various beings and protect themselves from malignant magic. Common credence included beliefs of beings such as the fairies, who came in many sizes and shapes and whose conjured magic could harm and\/or help depending on your actions.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSo, please step inside the world of North European history, mystery and myth to discover something old yet new, which I hope will inform or entertain you.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Anette Guldager Boye\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1036114910\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781036114916\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Pen and Sword History\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/30\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"Anette Guldager Boye","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":49097262235903,"sku":"9781036114916","price":39.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/from-the-celts-to-the-anette-guldager-boye-9781036114916","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
