of the best, 18 Jul 2008 By Cynewulf
The only fault with this book is that it wasn’t written a long time ago. This is one of the best (if not the best) ‘accessible’ books I have read on the subject.
Most similar publication repeat the same references concerning observations from early church officials and travelling Arabs on heathen Germanic practices. This however has many more besides, much of which was new to me. In addition Thor’s insights into the pre-Christians Germanic mindset and interpretations have more than a ring of authenticity about them. I was particularly in agreement with his emphasis on religions role in cementing a society’s identity and the individuals within it sense of belonging.
Highly recommended.

I enjoyed this book tremendously. Mr Ewing has packed an enormous amount of information into this small book. He has not been content just to go over the old ground but has brought some intriguing new ideas to the discussion. Some of the evidence that he has put together has helped me to further develop my own thoughts in this area.
At the end of the book there is the most succinct and useful discussions of the variations of the Germanic burial rite that I have ever read.
