European Paganism, a Collection: Now Available!

CLICK TO PURCHASE

This ninth compilation was created partially due to public demand; it is artificially constrained to a few variants of European paganism (Greek, Roman, Norse, and British/Irish) because of the expansive nature of the subject. Much of the work is academic and historical in tone, although "Valhalla" is mostly a poetic epic. These seven works are, in my opinion, a decent springboard into the subject. As with all of my compiled volumes, it contains a lengthy list of works in a bibliography for further reading on the subject matter, and an expansive foreword detailing each work and the premise of the compiled volume.

Included works:

-Valhalla: The Myths of Norseland

-Pagan Ideas of Immortality

-Pagan Mythology: Wisdom of the Ancients

-A Compendium of Heathen Mythology

-The Mythology of Ancient Britain and Ireland

-Dionysos and Immortality

-The Religion of Ancient Scandinavia

The Book of Werewolves: Now Available!




"The Book of Werewolves" is a slightly ominously-titled work from the mid 1800s by the somewhat eccentric genius Sabine Baring-Gould. It covers far more than just your typical tales of lycanthropy and delves deeply into berserker (bear-serker) lore, Hindu tradition, and cannibalism among other things, titillating the reader with rather lurid depictions of criminal behavior.

Baring-Gould helpfully acknowledges both the spiritual and secular explanations for various historical tales along these general lines and manages to cram an enormous amount of lore into this work- which might be the pinnacle of such literature in man's realm of study.
