How and why are they used in magic and in divination?This handy pocket-sized booklet presents a brief working knowledge of the ancient writing system of the Germanic-speaking peoples.

    Our Troth is the single most comprehensive book ever published on the religious traditions of Heathenry: the pre-Christian religions of the Germanic-speaking peoples, revitalized as a living tradition for today. The third edition has been completely revised and updated from the book's original edition in 1993, drawing on the latest scholarship and on developments within the Heathen community. The first volume traces the history of ancient and modern Heathenry, from its most distant roots in the Stone Age, through the cultures of the Bronze Age, Iron Age, Migration Period, and Viking Age, to its flowering today.

    The Norwegian island of Hrafnista was long remembered in medieval Iceland as the ancestral home of a family of powerful chieftains, who were said to have faced and triumphed over dangers ranging from tyrant kings, to storms and famines, to giants, dragons, and sorcery. Descendants of these Men of Hrafnista settled in Iceland and gave rise to prominent families, who passed on tales of their ancestors for generations until they were written down. For the first time, the Old Norse sagas of the Men of Hrafnista-the Saga of Ketil Salmon, the Saga of Grim Shaggy-Cheek, the Saga of Arrow-Odd, and the Saga of An Bow-Bender-have been collected in one volume, in English translation. Enter the world of Viking legend and lore with these tales of high adventure.
