Guide to Norse Pagan Holidays

It's 803 A.D.

You're at the prow of a Viking longship, waiting to make landfall with your fellow Norse warriors.

.

The cold air breaches your lungs, the jagged Fjords calm your heart, and the rolling hills ahead of you make you realize that you are home.

And the first thought in your mind?

The festivities that await you - a battle cry for all-father Odin, a reverence for the magic of Freya, and a celebration for the protection offered by Thor.

This book is your portal into the magic of Norse Pagan holidays and festivals, and it'll take you by the hand into a world that is deeply entwined with the power of nature, with countless blessings of Norse gods and goddesses.

Inside this portal, you will discover:

• A comprehensive guide to celebrating Norse paganism - explore the festivities of nature, people, and magic deeply rooted in Norse customs throughout the year
• A quick guide to the months, days, and the cyclical nature of the Norse calendar (did you know that modern weekdays are named after Norse gods?)

And much more.
