Book Reviews of Norse Magic (Llewellyn's World Religion & Magick)
Book Review: Changed MY life!
Summary: 5 Stars
I don't think this book was an attempt at traditional Nordic religious practices. It heavily mixes the Norse religion with Wicca, and as with most books of this time, is also flavored by the author's point of view and opinions. Which is fine; as long as you know that going in. And as others have mentioned, the Runes section of this book is amazing. Worth the price just for that alone. As an 11 year old boy (I'm 25 now), studying different paths of Wicca (my mother's religion) I felt very drawn to the Nordic deities and this book was a GREAT cross over from what I was used to, to where I wanted to be. Little did I know, sitting in the back of class in Middle School, reading and re-reading this book, exactly how much it would end up changing my life. Despite the author's warnings, I was drawn to Loki and he remains my patron deity today. The author was not amiss in her warnings. Loki is NOT a god for everyone. And I often refer to the Runes section of this book over many others. I recommend this book for any Wiccan who's interested in Nordic mythology, but like all subjects, don't limit yourself to just one book. This is a great, wonderful, informative place to start. But keep in mind it is just a STARTING place. The worlds of the Norse gods are far too large to fit into such a small book. Pick up 'Norse Magic', and I hope it sparks a love for these deities that takes you well beyond.
Summary of Norse Magic (Llewellyn's World Religion & Magick)
Elves and dwarves, gnomes and frost giants. . . Norse mythology is filled with tales of such supernatural beings, nature spirits, and powerful deities. Many people know that the Norse people were fierce warriors, but did you know that they were powerful magicians as well?
Norse Magic has everything you need to learn in order to begin practicing Norse spirituality. Discover the history and religion of the Vikings, including Norse mythology, seasonal festivals, and magical techniques.
If you are interested in practicing Norse Wicca, you'll learn about the three-fold goddess and the god, as well as how to celebrate the holidays, all from the perspective of Norse Paganism. Discover the secrets of herb magic, cauldron magic, cord magic, elf magic, dwarf magic, and more. These magical techniques are presented in a clear, step-by-step format.
The practice of Norse magic enlists the help of the Asa-Gods, Light Elves and good Dwarves. It elicits aid from dead ancestors and the rulers of the Elements. It is an active magic, reserved for participants, not bystanders. In order to work the magic of this system you must attune yourself to the powers of the Elements, calling upon the Asa-Gods and other supernatural beings. Norse Magic includes complete instructions, exercises, and rituals for this technique.
The Norse Pagans were one of the last European societies to convert to Christianity, but their Pagan mythology and magic survived and continues to thrive. Norse Magic is your key to the study and practice of this powerful and ancient spiritual system.
