Full Description
A high priestess in the Icelandic Norse tradition provides a guide to the dramatic, adventurous, and deeply spiritual culture of the nine realms. This accessible compendium is an indispensable tool for readers wishing to bring accuracy and authenticity to their understanding of Norse cosmology. Gypsey Elaine Teague presents more than 800 entries about the deities, people, places, objects, and cultural concepts prominent in the Norse tradition. She also shares more than 90 poetic and prose Eddas (sagas) and introduces you to their influential authors. Exhaustively researched, this book provides an overview of Icelandic history, a tour of the nine realms, and appendices with the kennings and heiti (alternate names) in historical texts. From dwarves to Ragnarok, from Odin to Yggdrasil, this is a masterful resource that any fan of Norse mythology will love.
