Publisher's summary

A radical new take on Norse paganism

The Way of Fire and Ice reimagines Norse Paganism with mystical practices and rituals for today's world as well as tips for building community and resisting fascism. This approach to working with Norse deities and beliefs is a living, adaptable tradition, representing a strong alternative to the reconstructionist perspectives of Asatru and Heathenry.

In this book, the old ways come alive in a radically inclusive form. You will explore the secrets of the World Tree and the mysteries of the gods, work with the many spirits around us, and feel the deep rhythms that drive all life while creating new songs of power. You will also discover how to make these practices part of your every waking moment, developing your own personal spirituality and building healthy, sustainable communities along the way.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Very Informative

The narrators voice and inflection adds to the content. I enjoyed the chapter concerning working with others.

decent book, good info

good info, but dives pretty deep into the anti fascist movement. it it almost seems like half the book is about telling you to join antifa.

Very Good Book

This is a very informative book with details about the gods, and rituals. If this book is anti anything, it is against the misuse of sacred symbols for hate groups. I would highly recommend this book for anyone wanting to go down the path of Norse Paganism.

Great tool!

I very much enjoyed this book. A lot of useful tips for inter grating your practice into daily life and fighting fascism. A worthy read for anti fascist heathens.

Much rings true.

As a Pagan and Eclectic practitioner, I found this book to be informative, interesting, and reasonably well written. I like how this particular sect encourages people to be active and aware of Facisim. To not be idle when you witness abuses and misinformation. A good listen for good people.

My First Norse Pagan Read…

I didn’t expect it to be as informational as it was. It helped me expand my practice with meditation and reaching the Gods through meditation. This was a great book to listen to and the narrator was the perfect fit to read this book.

Good info but dry at times.

Good info overall but unfortunately it's more a reference book than a front to back book. I gave up around the info on starting a group where it seems to repeat itself over and over.
