Description
Odin: Ecstasy, Runes & Norse Magic
Diana Paxson is a noted authority on Norse magic, Asatru and the use of Runes. In this work she does a deep exploration of the veneration of Odin. Highly recommended.
“It was said in the lore and legends of Norse mythology that people who got interested in Odin, the god of hunters, warriors and oracular seers were “seized” by this deity, fascinated by this multifarious character. Diana Paxson, author of historical novels and short stories on themes from Norse and Celtic mythology was clearly seized, somewhat to her own surprise. She here beautifully re-tells some classic stories from this mythic complex and relates how they are reflected in the ceremonial practices of the contemporary Neo-Pagan revival. I recommend it highly.” –Ralph Metzner, Ph.D., author of The Well of Remembrance
