About this book
About this Norse mythology guide
A thousand years of Northern stories, told straight from the source texts: the Eddas, the sagas, the scholarship.
For a thousand years before the Christian conversion, the people of the North told stories that have not stopped echoing. Of a one-eyed god who hanged himself on a tree for nine nights to learn the runes. Of a hammer that called the thunder. Of a serpent that circled the world, and a wolf that would one day eat the sun.
This is the complete guide to Norse mythology, drawn from the surviving Eddas, the sagas, and the work of the scholars who have spent their lives reading between the lines. Every god, every world, every myth, told in the voice of someone who reads the source texts and trusts you to keep up.
You will finish this book having both DREAMED and LEARNED.
What you will discover inside
- How Odin won the runes by hanging nine nights on Yggdrasil
- Why Thor's hammer Mjolnir is the most powerful weapon ever forged
- Loki's transformations, schemes, and the long road to Ragnarok
- The Nine Worlds and how they fit together on the World-Tree
- The death of Baldur, the binding of Loki, and the unraveling of fate
- What survived the Christian conversion and why Snorri wrote it down
