DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Myth and History in Celtic and Scandinavian Traditions explores the traditions of two fascinating and contiguous cultures in north-western Europe. History regularly brought these two peoples into contact, most prominently with the Viking invasion of Ireland. In the famous Second Battle of Moytura, gods such as Lug, Balor, and the Dagda participated in the conflict that distinguished this invasion. Pseudohistory, which consists of both secular and ecclesiastical fictions, arose in this nexus of peoples and myth and spilled over into other contexts such as chronological annals. Scandinavian gods such as Odin, Balder, Thor, and Loki feature in the Edda of Snorri Sturluson and the history of the Danes by Saxo Grammaticus. This volume explores such written works alongside archaeological evidence from earlier periods through fresh approaches that challenge entrenched views.

Odin?s hunger for wisdom is evident in many of the stories that involve him, and I invite you to share his willingness to let go of your reality and jump into the mysterious worlds of Norse & Celtic Mythology and Runes. Norse & Celtic Mythology present a rich collection of stories. Through the ages they have inspired poets, authors, and songwriters alike with their ancient heritage of sagas, myths, legends, and battles. Movies and television series about their way of life have surged in popularity. What makes it so fascinating is not the stories in themselves, although some are truly a feast to the eyes, but how they came to be and what they mean for the people that live by them. Let?s drink from the well of knowledge and jump into a realm of wonder, where nothing is as it seems! By the end of this book, you will be familiar with both Norse & Celtic Mythology. Inside you will find heroic stories, myths, legends and epic tales of love and betrayal. You?ll discover who they were, how they lived and how they influenced the modern world. And, of course, you?ll know more about your favorite Gods & Godesses, such as how Thor got his famous hammer, Dagda Supreme God of The Celts and many more.
