Immerse yourself in the unique ancient history and culture of the Vikings.

Have you ever wanted to explore the fascinating tales of the gods and goddesses that the Vikings worshiped?

Interested in discovering and understating how they lived their lives long ago?

You've probably heard names like Thor, Odin, and Baldur, and seen their depictions in pop culture; but what were they really like?

Read on to learn about the monsters and the heroes, the gods and the giants, and what the end of the world meant for the Vikings. In this book, you will learn about:

Creation of the Germanic people of Scandinavia and how the world started
The cosmos for the Vikings and the place of the earth in it
The nine realms that formed the world tree Yggdrasil
The old gods of the Aesir and how they differed from their rival tribe of gods, the Vanir
Myths and legends that shaped the Viking people into who they were, from the death of Baldur to Ragnarok
Norse paganism and its modern practitioners
The festivals and rituals that were passed down to modern pagans over the ages

You've heard tales about Thor's hammer, Mjollnir, but do you know how it was created? In this book, you will learn about this myth and many others to get an insight into Viking folklore. You will also learn about the people who preceded them, and by the end, you won't think of the Vikings as the raiders and pillagers many works of fiction depict them as. You will understand the traditions and myths that shaped their understanding of the world. You will also dive into Norse myths that you might not have heard of before.
