A Modern Heathens Guide to Norse Paganism

If you admire intelligence and action over blind obedience then keep reading.

Delving into the primary sources, Larson reveals the values, priorities, and goals of the Viking people and their gods. Norse Paganism is rooted in ancient practices and beliefs. It thrives today, but not without adaptations. The difference between then and now is not a shift in core values. Instead, it is an evolution, acknowledging advances in science and social norms, to meet the needs of contemporary heathens. A Modern Heathens Guide to Norse Paganism: the Earth-Centered Religions that Encourages Us to Embrace Our Inner Viking and Take Charge of Our Fate is a roadmap for how you can live your best life based on the wisdom of Odin and the other Norse gods, as gleaned from myth and lore.

In this book you will discover:

• How emulating the Vikings' mindset can propel you forward in your career, while also building positive long-term relationships with your boss, co-workers, or employees.
• The personal traits and attitudes most prized by the Norse gods.
• The similarity between the standards and ideals of the military and those of the Vikings.
• The important role of reciprocity in Norse Paganism.
• Why Loki is considered a deity worthy of worship by some people today.
• How modern-day heathens celebrate special events and holidays.
• The function of magic in the everyday life of our ancestors and what part of it is still relied on by many in the twenty-first century.
• How and why Forn Si繢, the old beliefs and way of life for the Scandinavian people, faded and eventually disappeared from society.
• How you can harness the Vikings' idealogy and dedication in order to manifest a more rewarding life for yourself and others.
• The real reason why the people of Germania, the ancient ancestors of the Vikings, were a "pure race." Spoiler alert, despite what White Supremacists would like you to believe, it had nothing to do with race.

Even if you are not a Norse pagan ( or you don't want others in your life to know you are) you can still live a more rewarding life, achieve greater success, build deeper relationships and gain confidence by following the example of the Vikings and advice of the gods. If you want to follow in Odin's footsteps, gain wisdom, and take charge of your life, then begin your journey here.
