Unique Insight
This book is one of a new wave of Northern Esoteric works now becoming available that have gone beyond the quaint 19th Century romanticism, Third Reich occultism, New-Age fantasy, and "post-modernist" drivel that has infected much of the Northern revival of the late 20th Century.

Based on her academic study of Old Norse and the historical sources, Yngona has translated the Voluspa with care, accuracy, and insight. She has then applied her extensive practical experience of shamanism to gain deeper insights into this "Prophesy of the Seeress".

Unlike many esoteric works, she does not make unsubstantiated claims about the historical record, but takes a good look at the facts and offers her interpretations honestly. Of course the process requires a reasonable amount of speculation, but she never seems to be pushing a political or philosophical agenda, as is so common in Northern Esoteric books of the 1980s & 90s.

For anyone interested in a Northern esoteric path, this book is essential reading.
