An accessible yet in-depth guide to an increasingly popular pre-Christian religious tradition of Northern Europe.

Heathenry is one of the fastest growing polytheistic religious movements in the United States today.

In A Modern Guide to Heathenry, listeners will have the opportunity to explore the sacred stories of the various heathen gods like Odin, Frigga, Freya, and Thor, and will be granted a look into the devotional practices of modern votaries. Blots, the most common devotional rites, are examined in rich detail with examples given for personal use. Additionally, listeners are introduced to the concept of wyrd, or fate, so integral to the heathen worldview.

Unlike many books on heathenry, this one is not denomination-specific, nor does it seek to overwhelm the listener with unfamiliar Anglo-Saxon or Norse terminology. For Pagans who wish to learn more about the Norse deities or those who are new to heathenry or who are simply interested in learning about this unique religion, A Modern Guide to Heathenry is the perfect introduction. Those who wish to deepen their own devotional practice will find this book helpful in their own work as well.

I found myself trying time and time to listen to the Crystal for beginners book by Karen Frazier and thought that it was boring but with this content which I find even more interesting, I still noticed myself regularly losing attention. Now I know that the problem was the narrator, not the book. I might still want to get it because it’s an excellent reference book but it would gain by being read by someone less monotone and more passionate. This lady should be hired only for meditation books intended to help someone to fall asleep…

All mythology is fascinating to me but this narrator is boring 🥱
