The Seed of Yggdrasill

"The Seed of Yggdrasill" deciphers theriddles of metaphor to reveal centralthemes of goddess worship, witchcraft,and heroes on vision quests. By translatingthe names within the Old Norse myths,Kvilhaug presents a powerful argumentwhich some have declared as stronglyfeminist.This approach to the metaphors in theNorse poems will cause much debateamongst modern new age Odinistsand today's followers of the survivingScandinavian faith, Asatru.Controversy aside this book will helprebuild an understanding of the paganpast of the Northern peoples. It may evenrestore a rationalized familiarity withtheir Northern god(s) and goddess(es).
