This can be seen in the growth of pre-Christian religious movements, and in the much wider popularity of movies, novels, and television shows about the Viking Age. Just as other ethnicities show a healthy desire to reconnect with their indigenous past, the revival of Germanic culture appeals to people of European descent who feel cut off from their deepest ancestral roots.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBut as Stephen Flowers argues in the pages of his far-reaching book, this is only the latest phase in a larger reawakening with a rich, if troubled, history. He defines what constitutes the Germanic Tradition, and explains how this tradition was fragmented and submerged with the coming of Christianity to the Goths, the Franks, the Anglo-Saxons, and the Scandinavians. More importantly, he shows how the northern spirit survived in myriad and sometimes surprising places: from literary works such as \u003cem\u003eB\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cem\u003eeowulf \u003c\/em\u003eand the \u003cem\u003eNibelungenlied\u003c\/em\u003e, to the teachings of Christian mystics like Meister Eckhart, and in the religious, political, and legal institutions of medieval England, Iceland, and Scandinavia.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe first volume of a trilogy, \u003cem\u003eThe Northern Dawn\u003c\/em\u003e series will chronicle the ways in which the Germanic Tradition has shaped our history, how it still speaks to us today, and how it may yet help to forge a meaningful and promising future in the midst of an increasingly aimless and atomized world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Stephen Edred Flowers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0972029281\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780972029285\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Arcana Europa Media LLC\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/07\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 204\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.67lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.47d","brand":"Stephen Edred Flowers","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44048198009087,"sku":"9780972029285","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_3b1f8780-92c3-4d65-b014-f8865305b9b5.jpg?v=1684994448","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-northern-dawn-stephen-edred-flowers-9780972029285","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
