The myths tell of gods and giants. This book reveals the rituals that shaped their world.

For centuries, the true practices of Norse religion have been a puzzle, pieced together from conflicting sagas and silent artifacts. This guide finally puts the pieces together, reconstructing the visceral reality of their sacred world.

Inside, you will discover:

  • The true purpose of the sacrificial blót, from the great feasts at Uppsala to the intimate household offering.
  • The binding power of the sumbel, where oaths spoken over the horn shaped personal and tribal destinies.
  • The intricate arts of the völva, the methods of seiðr divination, and the potent magic of runes.
  • The sacred roles of animals, the powerful rhythm of seasonal festivals, and the living presence of ancestors in their daily lives.

    • Grounded in evidence but written for the curious mind, this is not just another history. It is a clear, comprehensive, and indispensable guide to the practices that gave the Norse world its meaning.
