Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: I love Norse mythology!. There are two books sitting on my bookshelf right now that I would have no problem recommending to anyone!. The first one is called "Exploring The Northern Tradition: A Guide To The Gods, Lore, Rites And Celebrations From The Norse, German And Anglo-saxon Traditions" by Galina Krasskova and Swain Wodening!. The title is a bit long but there is some great stuff in there!. You won't be disappointed!. Here is a link to buy that book: http://search!.barnesandnoble!.com/Explori!.!.!. The second book I would highly recommend is simply called "The Norse Myths" by Kevin Crossly Holland!. Holland takes the stories from the Prose Edda and retells them in a way that might make more sense to the uneducated reader!. Brilliant stuff!. Here is a link to buy that one: http://search!.barnesandnoble!.com/Norse-M!.!.!. If you have any questions about Norse myth, feel free to email me!. My Yahoo name, as you can see, is norseheathen!. I worship the Norse gods just as my ancestors did over a thousand years ago!. I apologize if this answer is a bit long but Norse myth questions rarely come up in this section!. I hope that answers your question!. Enjoy the myths!.Www@QuestionHome@Com |
