A nice little companion book - Rated Only 55 pages long this is a little gem that i enjoyed reading but I can only recommend it as a companion to 'Gods and myths of northern europe' (see my reviews) or something similar. This is not suitable for a first time reader of the old Gods as it doesnt give you enough information. Fascinating Study of Early English Paganism - Rated This short book (approximately 55 pages) is a transcript of a talk given by the author, who is an expert in the field of pre-Norman-conquest England. The book is not a "New Age" pagan text, but a serious, academic, and properly sourced study of the pre-Christian beliefs which the very early English peoples brought with them to Britain from their continental Germanic homelands. However the author's style is direct, and there is an underlying tone of deep passion for her subject. Particular and welcome attention is paid to the position and high degree of respect accorded to women in early Anglo-Saxon society, and how this was reflected in beliefs and stories surrounding goddesses and gods. There are many brief quotations from Old English sources, given in both the original form and modern translations. The text is straight forward and easy for the layperson to read, absorb and thoroughly enjoy. Highly recommended.
