From contents page to index is only some 50 pages then add some for maps and adviced reading approx 64 in total. As I was on nights I thought I'd read it first, it being such a short book.
WOW is all I can say, the amount of pages do not compare with the amount of information contained within, the worship of Woden goes back further than I imagined also Nerthus and Ing and much much more. I had to put the book down several times to let things sink in, mull them over and read again. I'll definately be reading it again and again.
Not sure I'f I'd recommend buying, it wont fill much of a gap on the bookshelf for the money but it is most definately worth reading
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.
