Resumen del Editor
"The North" is simultaneously a location, a direction, and a mystical concept. Although this concept has ancient roots in mythology, folklore, and fairy tales, it continues to resonate today within modern culture. McIntosh leads listeners, chapter by chapter, through the magical and spiritual history of the North, as well as its modern manifestations, as documented through physical records, such as runestones and megaliths, but also through mythology and lore.
This mythic conception of a unique, powerful, and mysterious Northern civilization was known to the Greeks as "Hyberborea" - the "Land Beyond the North Wind" - which they considered to be the true origin place of their god, Apollo, bringer of civilization. Through the Greeks, this concept of the mythic North would spread throughout Western civilization.
In addition, McIntosh discusses Russian Hyperboreanism, which he describes as among "the most influential of the new religions and quasi-religious movements that have sprung up in Russia since the fall of Communism" and which is currently almost unknown in the West.

Historia
Worship of the Feathered Serpent can be traced back 2,000 years, and the Serpent’s cults appear all across Mesoamerica. The Olmec, the Aztec, and both the Yucatec and K’iche Mayans all had different names for this deity, including Kukulkan, Q’uq’umatz, and Tohil...Quetzalcoatl was and remains one of the most interesting and enlightening stories ever to have come out of any civilization, and his stories offer a better understanding of the Mesoamerican world.

Historia
A one-eyed old man, with a gray cloak and a wide-brimmed hat leaning on a staff. A wanderer who appears when least expected, bringing triumph or doom. The god of prophecy, poetry and fate. A shape changer. A sorcerer. The god Odin cuts a dramatic figure in Norse mythology and is still a part of the popular imagination. He is the inspiration for figures like J.R.R. Tolkien's Gandalf the Grey, and he still appears in modern literature as varied as Marvel Comics and Neil Gaiman's novel American Gods.

At the beginning of his career, Joseph Campbell developed a lasting fascination with the cultures of the Far East, and explorations of Buddhist and Hindu philosophy later became recurring motifs in his vast body of work. However, Campbell had to wait until middle age to visit the lands that inspired him so deeply. In 1954, he took a sabbatical from his teaching position and embarked on a year-long voyage through India, Thailand, Cambodia, Burma, Hong Kong, Taiwan, and finally Japan.

Historia
The Viking Age - from 750 to 1050 saw an unprecedented expansion of the Scandinavian peoples into the wider world. As traders and raiders, explorers and colonists, they ranged from eastern North America to the Asian steppe. But for centuries, the Vikings have been seen through the eyes of others, distorted to suit the tastes of medieval clerics and Elizabethan playwrights, Victorian imperialists, Nazis, and more. None of these appropriations capture the real Vikings, or the richness and sophistication of their culture.

Historia
Around 6000 BC, a revolution took place on Orkney and the Western Isles of Scotland. An outstanding collection of stone circles, standing stones, round towers, and passage mounds appeared seemingly out of nowhere. And yet many such monuments were not indigenous to Britain, but to regions of the Caspian Sea and the Mediterranean. Their creators were equally mysterious. Traditions tell of the Papae and Peti, "strangers from afar" who were physically different, dressed in white tunics, and lived aside from the regular population.

The sheer importance of Sumerian culture in regards to world culture as a whole is impossible to overstate. This civilization is single-handedly responsible for some of the most major innovations in nearly every field relevant to maintaining a civilized society - this includes religion, lawmaking, architecture, schooling, art, literature, and even entertainment. Naturally, most of what we see as negative aspects of society were established in ancient Sumer as well. There wasn’t an aspect of Sumerian life that wasn’t plagued with corruption or devastation of one form or another.

They show how the Denisovans displayed sophisticated advances, including precision-machined stone tools and jewelry, tailored clothing, celestially-aligned architecture, and horse domestication.

In this in-depth look at occult and esoteric traditions in Russia, Christopher McIntosh explores the currents of mysticism, myth, magic, and the spiritual to which the Russian soul has always been attuned. The author explains how the search for meaning in the post- Soviet era has given rise to a revival of ancient spiritual traditions and a plethora of new movements. He examines the precursors to these movements in the “Silver Age” before the Revolution, when alternative forms of spirituality were finding new life as a reaction to the ongoing climate of violence, revolt, and repression.

Historia
Human and divine energies complement each other; when joined, they become a potent catalyst for true magick and change. Celtic Myth & Magick describes the energies of over 300 cross-referenced Celtic deities and heroic figures so you can quickly determine which one can best help you in attaining specific goals through magick - such as greater prosperity (Cernunnos), glowing health (Airmid), or a soul partner (Aengus MacOg). This guidebook explains how to use creative Pagan ritual and pathworking to align yourself with the energy of these powerful archetypes.

In 2017, DNA tests revealed to the collective shock of many scholars that a Viking warrior in a high-status grave in Birka, Sweden was actually a woman. The Real Valkyrie weaves together archaeology, history, and literature to imagine her life and times, showing that Viking women had more power and agency than historians have imagined.

Historia
Towards the middle of the third century BC, the Hellenistic kingdoms were near their peak. In terms of population, economy, and military power, each was vastly superior to Rome, not to mention in fields such as medicine, architecture, science, philosophy, and literature. But over the next two and a half centuries, Rome would eventually conquer these kingdoms while adopting so much of Hellenistic culture that the resultant hybrid is known as "Graeco-Roman." In Greece Against Rome, Philip Matyszak relates this epic tale from the Hellenistic perspective.

In contrast to their Danish and Norwegian cousins, Swedish Vikings traveled east rather than west in search of riches, land, and power. The extensive river systems of Russia provided economic and military “super-highways” to the adventurers from the north, who journeyed down them all the way to the Black Sea and Constantinople in search of fame and riches.

The Way of Fire and Ice reimagines Norse Paganism with mystical practices and rituals for today's world as well as tips for building community and resisting fascism. This approach to working with Norse deities and beliefs is a living, adaptable tradition, representing a strong alternative to the reconstructionist perspectives of Asatru and Heathenry.

Historia
The Viking Age - from 750 to 1050 saw an unprecedented expansion of the Scandinavian peoples into the wider world. As traders and raiders, explorers and colonists, they ranged from eastern North America to the Asian steppe. But for centuries, the Vikings have been seen through the eyes of others, distorted to suit the tastes of medieval clerics and Elizabethan playwrights, Victorian imperialists, Nazis, and more. None of these appropriations capture the real Vikings, or the richness and sophistication of their culture.

heathens, history, occult, and...pop culture?
McIntosh does a killer job exploring "The Mystic North!"
Folklore, myths, legends, facts, geography, culture, spiritualilty, from past to present day- he does a really great job summing up the birth, death and revival of all things "viking"

Interesting, Needs More Careful Review of East Asian Elements
While I have no real background in Hyperborea or Norse Paganism, what I paid attention to while knitting seemed to be at least logically presented and intriguing. However, the chapter on the Vikings as Samurai needs further review.
Should one decide to compare the Vikings with the samurai, why not further compare how the two came to rise as a warrior class that grew to include not only warfare, but also things like philosophy and poetry? Additionally, if one is going to compare death poetry, I would think that using a comparative example from when the samurai were an actual class in Japan would make a more compelling argument than an anachronistic use of the poetry of Kuribayashi Tadamichi, general of the Imperial Army at Iwo Jima during World War 2. There were no samurai in the 1900’s, the class being more or less eradicated by the Meiji Restoration in the late 1860’s and the Japanese government’s subsequent legislation regarding swords, among other things. While some samurai survived the change to become one of the significantly economically powerful zaibatsu groups, most did not. Any person looking at a Japanese history textbook (and not an American movie by a similar name) can easily find that the person consider by many to be the last samurai is Saigo Takamori. He died in 1877.
My review for this story is three stars due to my lack of background in the main topics of this book and the fact that it was overall quite enjoyable. However, it seems incredibly short-sighted and ill-advised to be so, if not careless, then unconcerned with the specifics of comparisons to other cultures in the East. This is particularly true when the central argument of a book focuses on the spread of people, language, and culture and the similarities that linger.

Excellent, Scholarly, Engaging, Comprehensive.
This is an intriguing listen. Firstly, let me draw attention to the fact that Christopher MacIntosh is a respected and accredited scholar with decades of research under his belt. He is widely appreciated and is a thorough and comprehensive evaluator of the subjects which he explores. This book is no exception to that statement.
The performance of the narrator, Simon Vance, is exceptional. He is a true professional. His voice is pleasant, his annunciation and diction are just right, and his pacing is easy to follow. I wish that he were the narrator on most of the books I listen to on Audible.
This is an engrossing and deep survey of the spiritual impulses originating in the north - both spiritual and material. He leaves no stone unturned, examining connections between various historical cultures and the textual and forensic evidence of the northern influence on the world, His touch ranges from Antarctica to Greece, from Russia to the Hebrides, and more. He explicates myth and magic, religion and history, yet his writing remains accessible and friendly, with occasional anecdotal material which only serves to weave the narrative in a relatable fashion. He tolerates no biases or prejudices, yet refuses to ignore the virtues of flawed human beings who still made valuable contributions to history. Something which I particularly appreciate is his impartial and intelligent evaluation of political realities such as Nationalism without devolving into biased tirades as so many do in this day and age. It is so refreshing to engage with a seasoned scholar who holds high the virtues of impartiality and clear mindedness in the face of history.
Yet another wonderful aspect of this book is how MacIntosh peppers the text with tantalizing elements of spiritual practices and ideas which could be practically investigated by people who have spiritual aspirations. It's been a long while since I have enjoyed a book of this kind this much, and it only makes me eager for more from him.
Finally, I strongly recommend that the interested parties disregard the very few negative reviews here. They seem to be written by people who are gripped by fear, and suffering from gross misapprehensions perhaps originating in mental imbalances. There is no way that someone actively listening to this fantastic contribution could possibly come to anything other than a positive evaluation of its contents. If I were teaching a course on this subject, this would be required reading. Bravo, Mr. Mackintosh.

If nothing else, an interesting listening experience
Some of the things mentioned in this listen seem to make sense and explain certain phenomena. I’d like to perform my own research though after seeing some of the other reviews.
