Resurrecting Heathenry: A Modern Guide to the Old Norse Ways (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780738775777)

Break through the informational barrier that has frustrated many beginners with this comprehensive, accessible guide to resurrecting Heathenry through theology, history, and practice.

Heathenry, the pre-Christian religious tradition of Northern Europe, has rapidly gained popularity in recent years. Yet accessing information about it--and the negative connotations associated with it--often intimidates beginners. Ocean Keltoi presents the introductory guide he wishes he'd had, taking you through the available historical sources and teaching you how to apply their information to reconstruct a coherent religion.

This book is an in-depth guide to creating a living, personal Heathen practice that is faithful to the old ways but without harmful relics of the past. It empowers you to build a sacred relationship with not only the Norse Gods, but also the land and animals around you. Explore the philosophy of polytheism, discover peace and introspection before a Heathen altar, find inspiration in the Sagas and Eddas, learn about historical divination, and much more.
