Norse Paganism

If you're looking for an accessible introduction to Norse Paganism, look no further.
This book is a modern revival of an ancient religion that has been practiced by heathens and Vikings alike—and it's one of the most accessible introductions to Norse Paganism I've ever listened to. It walks you through the basics of what being Norse means, why it's so important to reconnect with nature and our ancestors, how to do it yourself, and so much more.
The author makes it easy for anyone who's curious about religions other than their own to learn more about them without feeling intimidated or overwhelmed by jargon.

Norse Mythology

This audiobook was a wonderful introduction to the pantheon of Norse deities. The narrator did a fantastic job of bringing each character to life and explaining their stories and roles in Norse mythology. I particularly enjoyed learning about the lesser-known gods and goddesses, and the modern heathenry practices mentioned were very interesting.

Easy to understand

I really, really enjoyed this book. It was so easy to understand, and it gave me a lot of insight into what it means to be a heathen (or pagan, or viking) in the modern day.
It's always been something I've been interested in, but I felt like I didn't really have the right context for it. This book made me feel like I had a better understanding of what it means—and what it doesn't mean—to practice Norse Paganism as an individual.
I think that most people who are interested in learning more about this religion will be able to pick up this book and get something out of it, whether they're already practicing pagans or not! It's a great intro!

Great audiobook

I picked up this audiobook out of curiosity, and I'm so glad I did. It's a fascinating look into Viking history and culture, as well as the Nine Realms that exist in Norse mythology. The author does a great job of explaining the historical context for each chapter, and he brings in modern-day examples that help you understand how these concepts might have been interpreted by the Vikings themselves. This is an excellent book for anyone who's curious about what life was like for the pagan Vikings who lived in Scandinavia centuries ago!
