Norse mythology

I'm not a mythology expert, but I do know what I like. This audiobook was one of those rare finds that spoiled me for all others. The story itself was fascinating - it was well told, the production quality was top-notch, and I just couldn't stop listening! Great book for anyone who is interested in Norse Paganism, Viking lore, or Norse cosmology.

Well researched

The worlds of Norse mythology can be challenging to get into, at least at first. They're written as sagas and don't always seem to flow together. I was deeply impressed with this audiobook - it's unbelievably well-written. Not only that, but the author has done an excellent job of researching Norse myths and presenting them in a new, readable, and fascinating way. All of this makes for an audiobook you'll be excited to listen to every day!

Inside Norse Paganism

Sometimes known as heathenry, Norse Paganism is based on the old Norse religion that was practiced in Scandinavia before Christianity showed up. Erik Hansen traces its history and describes its deities and rituals. I found the chapter on the Vikings' relationship with death and conception of the afterlife particularly interesting. I now have a clearer view of the subject and have overcome some prejudices. Great audiobook!

Vikings Lore

I liked this book because it gave me a better understanding of the history of Vikings, as well as their ancient religion and modern revival. If you love Norse sagas, but need something to listen to while you're doing your work, this audiobook is for you! It's a great way to learn about the history of the Vikings in an entertaining way.

Modern Heathenry

I'm currently in the process of trying to find a religion that feels right for me, and so far, I have been drawn to Norse Paganism. This audiobook has helped me immensely in my understanding of this religion, as it is full of information about the beliefs of modern heathens, as well as their practices.
I would recommend this audiobook to anyone who is interested in Norse Paganism or other forms of Heathenry because it provides an excellent introduction that will help you understand what it means to be a modern heathen today.

Exciting listening

Before listening to this audiobook, my knowledge of Norse paganism was based only on a few fantasy movies. But digging a little deeper, beyond mythological creatures, I found that Norse paganism is actually quite complex. Exciting writing and excellent narration made me appreciate these ancient traditions and want to learn more. Five stars!

Old Norse religion

The Old Norse religion originated in the Iron Age and was transmitted orally, so there isn't one specific book about it similar to what we know as the Christian Bible. Erik Hansen starts from available sources to reconstruct the history of Viking mythology from the distant past to modern-day developments.

A Well-Researched Exploration of Norse Paganism

This book is a thorough and engaging dive into the ancient religion of the Norse people. From the origins of the religion to its practices and beliefs, the book covers a wide range of topics and provides detailed explanations and examples.
Additionally, the author does a great job of providing context and explaining the significance of various aspects of Norse Paganism. This helps the reader to better understand the religion and its place in history.

Fascinating

I absolutely loved this book about Norse paganism! The detailed descriptions of the nine worlds were incredibly fascinating, and I loved learning about the different pantheons and their roles in the cosmos. The modern heathens section was also incredibly interesting, giving insight into how these ancient beliefs are still alive and thriving today.

A Comprehensive and Enlightening Look

I really enjoyed this book. It was interesting to see the history of Vikings and how they were able to survive in their harsh environment. The religion they practiced was also interesting, and I liked how it was the inspiration for a modern revival.
