Great new insights into religious practice and society. Looks at sacrifice, at temples and holy places, at religious festivals, and then at evidence for a parallel magical society. Very readable.

Loads of interesting evidence on magic, mixed up with loads more stuff about Saami (Lapps) which isn't entirely relevant. Has the idea that everyone was a magician, and that religion was violent.

The definitive translation of Snorri's Edda by the most important living scholar of the work. The whole book (including the boring bits).

Excellent study of Celtic and Germanic myths in context of archaeology. Assumes belief to be identical with myth.

Excellent introduction to the field - covers most of what you might want in not too many pages.

A reference book that goes beyond what it says on the tin. If you look up one thing, you'll soon find yourself leafing through for more.
