### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Great book!
  

*by O***N on Reviewed in the United States on March 27, 2014*

I am writing this review as of reading the introduction which has sparked a great deal of needed thought. The author approaches a lot of subject matter from a historically accurate perspective that gives the reader a great amount of real information to chew on. I identify a Heathen/Asatru and do my best to build everything in my religion from a historically accurate base. The introduction alone has put together a wonderful collection of ideas to help ensure this direction is maintained. A good amount of research has gone into this book and I greatly appreciate the approach the author has taken in delivering. The rest of the book is like a dictionary of our lore and puts things together beautifully. I will no doubt have my nose in this one for reference after reading it cover to cover for the rest of my life, or until I have it all memorized. There are a lot of choices out there for Heathen/Asatru books and some of them are down right terrible. Many authors do their best to mask personal beliefs as historical fact. There is a great responsibility to not do this and few books I have read these days respect this boundary. If you are looking for a great collection of definitions with an introduction worthy of tons of note taking give this book a read. I am sure you will find it to be a wonderful source of reference as well.

    the title describes it best
  

*by N***I on Reviewed in the United States on October 8, 2022*

This is a great book that starts off with a nice scholarly introduction, then goes in to an extensive encyclopedia-style list of everything mentioned in the mythology. It doesn't have a feeling of "christians looking at heathenry from an outside perspective" and it doesn't have a really pagan feel to it either. Just non-biased information, which is refreshing in this genre of nonfiction.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Excellent reference
  

*by C***S on Reviewed in the United States on December 21, 2009*

Along with Dictionary of Northern Mythology by Rudolf Simek this is an excellent reference to Norse myth and I would recommend that any serious student of Norse myth have both books around.This work provide a dictionary-type approach to introducing the various individuals, themes, and places of Norse myth.  These are particularly useful when addressing more obscure topics (like the Disir) in the myths because the the discussion tends to be a scholar's digest of what is known.When I reviewed Simek's work I thought it was exceptional as far as dictionaries of mythology went.  Now I am beginning to understand that it is not unique in that regard.  This book belongs on the bookshelf right next to it.  Like Simek's work, this book draws from textual studies archaeology, and etymology to provide a fairly substantial, though not comprehensive, reference to the Norse myths.  In particular, each entry has a "further reading" section so it is perfect as a place to start research.I have to further agree with Ian Miles Slater on the quality of the illustrations.  These contribute greatly to the book.
