Asatru
This book is about how I see Asatru. It is my personal view and a story about how I do things. This is not meant as an Asatru textbook. In my opinion, such a textbook cannot be written at all. Asatru is very individual, and you must form your own opinions and attitudes and find out, what feels right to me, otherwise it will not work. I do not think that, in this faith, you can just take over someone elses opinions. But I love to give other people inspirations. Tell what I do and why. So they can chose how to do them self. Therefor I wrote my first book back in 2000. Both to be an inspiration, but also to tell people about what Asatru is. Two years ago I wrote this book which contains more rituals an experience than the first one. A lot of people do not know anything about Asatru and have a huge number of prejudices. In this book I try to take Asatru down to earth, so to say. Make it more common. And explain what it is for me.
Norse Revival
Norse Revival offers a thorough investigation of Germanic Neopaganism (Asatru) through an international and comprehensive historical perspective. It traces Germanic Neopaganism’s genesis in German ultra-nationalist and occultist movements around 1900. Based on ethnographic research of contemporary groups in Germany, Scandinavia and North America, the book examines this alternative Neopagan religion’s transformations towards respectability and mainstream thought after the 1970s. It asks which regressive and progressive elements of a National Romantic discourse on Norse myth have shaped Germanic Neopaganism. It demonstrates how these ambiguous ideas about Nordic myth permeate general discourses on race, religion, gender, sexuality, and aesthetics. Ultimately, Norse Revival raises the question whether Norse mythology can be freed from its reactionary ideological baggage.
Grímnir
Den nordiske mytelogi er gode historier, sjove og spændende at læse. Men for mig som asatro er de mere end det. Jeg ser myterne som egentlig tro, fortælling om hvordan verden er, og hvordan man som menneske finder sin plads i den. For at se dette lag af myterne, må man droppe kun at tage dem bogstaveligt. Læse dybere, gennemtænker dem grundigt og læser mellem linjerne. Forsøger vikle tros-grundlaget ud af de poetiske billeder, og søge at gennemskue de mange metaforer. Tro på der fortælles mere, end ordene umiddelbart siger. Denne bog er et sådan forsøg. På vejen nyoversætter og genfortolker jeg store dele af gudemyterne. Desuden kombinerer jeg dem med runerne, og mine tanker om religion i moderne sammenhæng. Som al anden virkelighed, er dette en subjektiv forestilling, noget jeg selv skaber. Og ikke noget jeg forventer andre skal overtage som deres personlige virkelighed, bare en fortælling jeg håber man vil overveje og tage med i betragtning, når man skaber sig sin egen subjektive virkelighed. Samtidig med, at man forhåbentlig er underholdt på vejen.
Tørre tal om troen
Religionsdemografer sætter for første gang tal på forskellige religioners udbredelse i Danmark. En opgave, der hidtil har været vanskelig, fordi man i Danmark ikke registrerer folk efter trosforhold. Bogens 12 bidragyderne, som kommer fra forskellige fagområder diskuterer forskellige udfordringer i forbindelse med at sætte tal på religiøse tilhørsforhold i Danmark. Og de stiller kritiske spørgsmål til pålideligheden af egne resultater.
Mit vilde vikingekøkken
Jim Lyngvild tager dig med ud til bålstedet og inviterer dig ind i vikingernes køkken, hvor kendte retter blander sig med dem, der for længst er gået i glemmebogen. Vikingekøkkenet er alsidigt og indbydende, og bogen giver dig masser af inspiration til og mod på at tilberede din mad over bål og med de råvarer der var til rådighed for vikingerne for over 1000 år siden, dvs. masser af krydderurter, rodfrugter, bær og kød. Du bliver guidet hele vejen rundt i vikingekøkkenet – fra optænding af et bål til mjødbrygning – og du får opskrifter på både kødretter, desserter, brød, grød, hjemmelavede oste og drikke. Alle opskrifter passer til tilberedning over bål, men du kan også sagtens bruge dit komfur eller prøve dig frem på din havegrill. Saml familie og venner om bålstedet og spis et festmåltid i fællesskab på ægte vikingemaner! OBS. Denne e-bog er udgivet i fixed layout. Læs mere på www.lrdigital.dk/guide

The Odinist Edda
From the ashes arises the sacred lore of the North, the ancient stories and proverbial wisdom of the Odinist religion. Mighty Gods and fierce Giants battle in the never-ending struggle between order and chaos, while men seek honor and glory in the eyes of their beloved deities. After many years of research and piecing together sources, now comes the first known holy text ever presented for the Odinist faith. Giving these accounts in their true, epic form, The Odinist Edda is designed as a religious work by and for the men and women of this path. In reconstructing this sacred epic, the idea is to create a living storytelling tradition that will honor the legacy of the ancient Teutonic peoples, while providing an in-depth source of Odinist wisdom for our modern world.
Soul Hunters
Basing his study on firsthand experience with Yukaghir hunters, Rane Willerslev focuses on the practical implications of living in a 'hall of mirrors' world, one inhabited by humans, animals and spirits, all of whom are understood to be endless mimetic doubles of one another.
