Gods and Myths of Northern Europe (1964)

I have not found too many books on Viking mythology. This is important from the point of view of contrast with Christianity. My own interest comes from a desire to find more information on Valhalla. This book is a summary broken down into topics with very brief quotes from source texts. For my interest level, this book was what I was looking for. ( )

This is a very interesting read into what we know about mythology in Northern Europe in both pre- and viking age. The author does tend to do some hypothetical guesses that are presented as evidence, so do be careful if you use this as a source. This book did make me think, and it helps to get a better understanding of mythology/religion in general and the Northern Germanic mythology in particular. ( )

Read on degree course

My very first book on Norse mythology. I have since then acquired more detailed ones and most of them in German. But this one is still one I pick up often as it gives a good overview and it has a really good glossary at the end. ( )

A classic - useful information for anyone interested in Asatru or other northern paths. ( )
