The Religion of Ancient Scandinavia (Barnes & Noble Digital Library)

by Sir William Alexander Craigie

Overview

The author, an expert in the Icelandic language and its rousing rìmur (epic poetry), traces Aryan myth and legend back to its roots—most of which was suppressed by the early Christians. Here are tales of Thor, Odin, and other gods; their objects of worship, temples, images, rites, secrets, and more.
