Product Description

The Saxon Pagan holds a spiritual worldview that largely inspired Tolkien's vision of Middle Earth. In this fascinating book, author and scholar Alaric Albertsson presents a complete introduction to Anglo-Saxon cosmology, deities, spirits, linguistics, and rituals. Although there is a growing interest today in reconstructed Pagan religions, very little information is available for those who wish to explore these paths, especially that of the Anglo-Saxon. "Travels Through Middle Earth" offers practical information about the Saxon-Pagan path, including many ways to incorporate Saxon rituals into contemporary spiritual life. Readers will discover how to set up a weofod, the Saxon altar, to connect with the Gods. They'll learn about the husel, a basic ritual for honouring personal ancestors, the Gods, and dwarves and elves. Also covered in this handbook: the concept of 'wyrd' and how it shapes one's destiny, the holy tides and how to celebrate them, and even instructions for making mead!

This is a Great book
This is a really great book and I agreed with 98% of it and his attitude towards various types of Germanic Heathenism is admirable. However I think his attitude to the Vanir is a little off but each to there own. I also rate this as a better book than Coulter's Germanic heathenry which I find a little bit one tracked and dogmatic; Alaric's book is not teaching dogmatism and leaves a lot up to the reader to decide. Yes and by the way there are loads of little titbits of information within this book, things which will make you say oh! I did not know that.
