Kuroiban Kuroiban Surprisingly, Borders had a better selection of things then B&K. I found SLIGHTLY more information in the Historical section, but also seem to have uncovered a diamond in the rough... "Exploring the Northern Tradition" by Galina Krasskova. More info here.Anyone heard of her and/or know anything about the quality of this book? I read the first few pages, where she covered UPG and lore, and the suggested reading and bibliography both had the Poetic and Prose Edda. Thoughts? I suppose no one had heard of her then....crud. Well...time to scour the internet for clues! cool
Ask Violet. I saw that book on her recommended reading list for Asatru. Would you like the full list?

i found this in the anti-fluff guild. lance, the captain, added some books he thought were useful. i know zero about asatru so if you have questions about them, ask either violet or lance.
Lance Kisgyr As far as Asatru goes, I am hardly an expert, but I can throw this in here, Courtesy of Vi. Violet Song jat Shariff Source texts and other reading materials For Asatru, source texts are the Poetic Eddas (sometimes just called "The Eddas" ) and the Prose Eddas (also known as the Snorra or Younger Eddas). Other books that are recommended, although they are not source texts, are helpful in gaining an overview on Asatru. " Essential Asatru" by Diane Paxson " Exploring the Northern Tradition: A Guide to the Gods, Lore, Rites, and Celebrations From the Norse, German, and Anglo-Saxon Traditions" by Galina Krasskova " Our Troth" Volumes 1 and 2 by Kveldulf Gundarsson For books that deal with the magical practices in Asatru, try: " Northern Magic" by Edred Thorsson (note: Thorsson eventually left Asatru and became a LaVeyan Satanist, so read him with a few grains of salt) " Taking Up the Runes" by Diane Paxson " Futhark" by Edred Thorsson (note: this book is usually described as dry and esoteric and might not be suitable for a beginner) For runes, it is also highly, strongly recommended to also read the Rune Poems in each of their translations. Books you might want to stay away from: " Norse Magic" by D.J. Conway " Rites of Odin" by Ed Fitch Any rune book that bears the name Ralph Blum And here's my addition for those who wish to read the Eddas free of charge online. Asatru Eddas on Sacred-Texts.com: Poetic Eddas (Translated by Henry Adam Bellows, 1936):http://www.sacred-texts.com/neu/poe/index.htm Prose Eddas (Snorri Sturlson; Translated by Arthur Gilchrist Brodeur, 1916):http://www.sacred-texts.com/neu/pre/index.htm
