Heathenry is one of the fastest growing polytheistic religious movements in the United States today. In A Modern Guide to Heathenry, listeners will have the opportunity to explore the sacred stories of the various heathen gods like Odin, Frigga, Freya, and Thor, and will be granted a look into the devotional practices of modern votaries.

This book is an exploration of the wisdom in the Viking Age poem "Havamal", specifically as it relates to the average person who isn't a scholar of Old Norse, or even an enthusiast of Viking culture. This book is for the layman, the average person who simply wants to improve their life using proven advice. The poem "Havamal" is earthy, cynical, stoic, and grim in its depiction of human life. Havamal means “The Words of the High One”. The poem's speaker is none other than Odin, King of the Gods, who has traveled the many worlds seeking power and suffered greatly in his quest.

The Prose Edda and the Poetic Edda are our oldest written sources for Norse mythology. When it comes to the norse myths, they are the closest thing we have to listening these stories as the vikings actually told them, around those ancient campfires so long ago. It is my hope that you will enjoy this collection, and that the two books will work in tandem to broaden and deepen your appreciation for these epic and mystical stories, and the enigmatic culture that spawned them.

Eight hundred years ago, an heir to the Vikings collected their myths and wrote them down. Here are those original tales of Odin and Thor, magic and might, presented for your listening enjoyment. The Prose Edda (also known as Snorri's Edda or The Younger Edda) is a manual of poetics written by Snorri Sturluson around the year 1220. In it, Snorri compiled the old myths and legends of the Norsemen, in order that poets from his time might draw on these stories to keep the Icelandic-Viking heritage alive. 

Seeing how it doesn’t have a set doctrine or dogma, there is no way to best practice Norse paganism. There is also no scripture or a “holy book”, which makes it ideal for people who wish to feel free and authentic to themselves while practicing spirituality. The way Norse paganism is practiced vastly varies from region to region, and there is no “correct” way to practice it. However, it still involves adhering to some tenets, customs, and beliefs. This book offers a comprehensive exploration of modern Norse paganism.

Neil Gaiman has long been inspired by ancient mythology in creating the fantastical realms of his fiction. Now he turns his attention back to the source, presenting a bravura rendition of the great northern tales. In Norse Mythology, Gaiman fashions primeval stories into a novelistic arc that begins with the genesis of the legendary nine worlds; delves into the exploits of the deities, dwarves, and giants; and culminates in Ragnarok, the twilight of the gods and the rebirth of a new time and people.

Why restrict yourself to just one belief when the world is filled with informative teachings and beliefs? Did you know Asatru, the religion of the Norse, is one of the largest growing religions today? You don't need to be Scandinavian or even European to join. Their ranks are growing, with people around the world turning to a more organic way of worshipping. This audiobook is all about Norse and Celtic beliefs and how they are just as relevant, if not more so today, than they were over a millennium ago.

The truth is that most media representations of Norse and Celtic times are based on fiction with a smattering of truth and are embellished with a healthy dose of imagination. There are very few written accounts from these societies because the information was passed on by word of mouth. Stories were handed down through the generations and became the sagas we know today but how much of that information is accurate is debatable.

Modern Norse Paganism is more of a spiritual path than a religion. It is based on pre-Christian Northern European people’s ancient customs, beliefs, worldviews, and folkloric practices. It is also an essential subdivision of the more prominent modern religious movement, which has come to be known as “Heathenism/Heathenry”. People who practice Norse Paganism might sometimes refer to themselves as “Heathens”.

Delve into the fascinating history of Norse mythology with this thrilling and magic audiobook. Do as Odin did…let go and drink deep from the well of wisdom.

The Vikings are known to most as the bloodthirsty people of North Germania. This is the extent of what the vast majority knows about them, aside from the fact that they used to worship well-built gods who waged wars and commanded thunder and lightning. Unfortunately, these are misconceptions that you'll further understand in this audio. The truth is that the Vikings were as human as any of us. They fought to survive, as most did during the first dozen centuries. Still, they had their codes, values, beliefs, and most importantly, a beautiful religion.
