Beskrivelse
Discover a fresh perspective on the religious life of pre-Christian Scandinavia beyond just mythology. This book dives into the deeper aspects of Viking Age beliefs, moving past the well-known gods and legends.
An interdisciplinary exploration of Viking Age religion and its broader cultural context.
Contributions from leading scholars offer a broader understanding of the religious practices among the people of pre-Christian Scandinavia. While Viking Age religion is often recognized through its famous myths-like the enigmatic Odin, the mighty Thor, and the apocalyptic Ragnaroek-this faith encompassed much more than just stories and images.
Long preserved in folk traditions, these beliefs are examined through various academic lenses in this volume. The book illuminates topics such as rituals, gender roles, social structures, and the connections between Nordic traditions and those of the Sami and Finnish regions.
