Very well researched

I enjoyed the comparisons to existing Non-Abrahamic religions. A version of this book written FOR Christians would be very helpful for them to understand the actual values of the culture their church attempted to erase.

I wish Mathias was reading

The book was great. Tons of interesting information i wish I had when I started this path. I should have read this soooo much earlier then I did. I just wish Dr. Nordvig was reading it as a fan of his I always love hearing from the authors.

Great Book!

The author knows the topic well and explains it simply. I'd highly recommend this book to ANYONE interested in Norse Paganism.

Great Read!!!
