About this ebook
Delve into the magical world of Norse mythology with myths, stories, runes and rituals for every season of the year.
Scandinavia is steeped in a rich history, mythology and symbolism. Rich with tales of courage, war, love, chaos and friendship, Norse mythology has inspired the world of literature, films and music alike. This mesmerising exploration of the old Norse way of life takes you beyond the stories, allowing you to immerse yourself in ancient Scandinavian practices and beliefs.
The Norse Year follows the ancient Scandinavian seasons. As the cold weather arrives, explore enchanting mythology from the biting Nordic weather. Then, feel inspired by the magic of late summer evenings under the aurora borealis. As the year progresses, you will explore twelve Norse deities, each accompanied by a ritual that will inspire you to harness their gifts. Uncover runes from the Viking alphabet, and find sacred sites from around the region.
With creative exercises and spells to practise at home, plus beautiful, atmospheric illustrations, The Norse Year asks you to return to nature and seek inspiration in your own landscape.
