The most vital book on the subject in fifty years
By jonathan pressley on August 14, 2004
Format: Hardcover
North has done something no author has done with regard to his subject in far too long; he actually took the time to look into it and put forth his own thoughts instead of regurgitating the works of others. (Most notably Stanley's "search for AS paganism") Just when I thought there was little ground left to break on the subject, along comes North's book and challenges long held and long overlooked aspects of Anglo Saxon pagan belief. From the onset of the book to the final chapter on Paulinus and the Stultus Error (which is brilliant I would like to add)I did not set this book down once. A must have for the student of Anglo Saxon culture and Theodisc Heathens alike. Brilliant work from a brilliant scholar. Wes thu Peter North hal!

North nails it!
By Markus Kraft on March 31, 2009
Format: Paperback
North has done his homework and put together a truly educational journey through history and literature. North clears the way to better understanding of the old Gods, their roots and the language used on the continent and in Anglo-Saxon England. He demonstrates how early historians and writers re-mapped and influenced so much of what modern scholars and Heathens hold dear by the way of Icelandic poems, sagas and other early writings. (Beowulf included) After reading this your eye and ear will be more the keener to any text you digest in your studies of Northern ways and history. If you are among the Vanir, this is a must read. If Woden is of interest to you, this is a must read. This book is indispensable.
Yes, pricey. Worth every dollar.

Best book in my collection.
By Christopher Little on March 11, 2013
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
I'd been looking at getting a copy of this one for a while, but put it off on account of the price. That was a mistake, looking back, I'd gladly go hungry a few days as long as I have quality material like this to be reading through. If you're at all interested in the history of European Heathenry, this book is a must have.

One of the best books ever written.
By David Brooks on February 25, 2013
Format: Hardcover Verified Purchase
North's scholarship is amazing. His reasoning is very fluid, even slippery at times, but he pulls in such a weight of understanding that his conclusions are inescapable. Its a real pleasure to see how the guy's mind works.
