North European Paganism (Wooden Books North America Editions)

How many words do the Sami have to describe features of reindeer? Who were the three Norns who sat under Yggdrasil's branches? How did Nordic spirit-callers cast their magical spells? In this informative pocket book, author and acclaimed wine-writer Linda Johnson-Bell tells the story of Northern European paganism, and paints a landscape of stunning beauty, populated by otherworldly shamans, strange gods, heathen temples, and living elemental energies.
