“Norse Gods and Goddesses: Guide to understanding Scandinavian Deities and the Viking Religion” by Ingvar Askelson
"Learn the Secrets of your Ancestors Without Reading Cryptic Poetry or Biased Sources.
Due to the harsh environment surrounding the Vikings and the deities who they believed watched over them, they were born and bred as hardworking fighters. A Viking didn’t live in fear because they believed their life was already fixed, all their focus was growth oriented, as should yours.
Although the Viking religion was deeply rooted and fulfilling to the soul, the Vikings didn’t think they needed to transcribe their beliefs as they could recite them verbally to their descendants. Very minimal information was preserved in writing by the Vikings themselves but their Christian descendants composed two manuscripts known as the Eddas.
They were written 300 years after the Viking age in an attempt to preserve as much of pagan beliefs as possible. This serves as a major inconvenience to modern Vikings who want to learn more about their ancestors because the basis of these manuscripts is primarily Skaldic poetry which leads them to being very complex, ambiguous and allusive in their translations.
Although the Viking religion was only preserved 300 years after the Viking age, many mysteries and hidden knowledge can still be found. I’ve spent over 18 months extracting every relevant detail written about the Norse Gods and Goddesses and transformed it into an easily understandable resource. I have built a community of modern Vikings who have spent decades living this belief system and I have learnt much through conversing with them. If you want to learn what I spent over a year researching and experiencing, buy this book now to learn it in under a week."
