The magic of the Germanic peoples and Vikings - factual, source-based, understandable:
Norse mythology, runes and written magic, seidr and galdr, amulets and divination between myth, sources, and practice - without romanticization, with a clear view of the Edda, sagas, and findings.
This handbook explains the magical beliefs of the Germanic-Nordic region in calm, precise language. It separates narrative imagery from historical evidence, reveals structures and boundaries, and makes the cultural logic behind familiar motifs visible.
- Seidr & Galdr: Ecstasy, magic songs, roles, and social order.
- Runes & writing magic: Alphabet instead of secret cult; formulas, inscriptions, materials.
- Amulets & objects of power: iconography, wearing practices, protective and healing motifs.
- Divination & oracles: questions, lotteries, community roles.
- Banishment & law: defamation, transgression, de-escalation.
- Afterlife: Christianization, folk beliefs, modern reception.
For beginners and advanced learners: in-depth knowledge of the Germanic peoples, Vikings, Edda, and runes-with clear definitions of terms, balanced sources, and an ethic of responsible interpretation.
