This religion, called Heathenry, is one of the fastest growing polytheistic religious movements in the United States today.

It crosses denominational lines, examining practices common to all branches of Heathenry in an easily accessible format. Readers will have the opportunity to explore the sacred stories of the various Heathen Gods, like Odin, Frigga, Freya, and Thor, and the devotional practices of modern votaries. The most common devotional ritethe faining or blotis examined in rich detail, with examples given for personal use.Additionally, readers are introduced to the concept of wyrd or fate, so integral to the Heathen worldview. For those new to Heathenry, Pagans who wish to learn more about the Norse Deities, or those simply interested in learning about this unique religion, Exploring the Northern Tradition is the perfect introduction. Subjects covered include: The gods and goddesses Symbel The soul matrix Ethics and values of the modern heathen The history and evolution of modern HeathenryUnlike many books on Heathenry, Exploring the Northern Tradition is not denomination specific, nor does it seek to overwhelm the reader with unfamiliar AngloSaxon or Norse terminology. Every new concept covered is presented in a clear and easytounderstand manner.

Experienced Heathens will find a wealth of lore and interdenominational critique that will make this book an excellent addition to their libraries.The author, Galina Krasskova draws on her own 12 years of experience as a Heathen priest or weofodthignen.
