The Nine Worlds: Stories from Norse Mythology (Classic Reprint)

Scandinavian paganism, to us here, is more interesting than any other. It is, for one thing, the latest. It continued in these regions of Europe till the eleventh century: eight hundred years ago theN orwegians were still worshippers ofO din. It is interesting also as the creed of our fathers, the men whose blood still runs in our veins, whom doubtless we still resemble in so many ways. .. .N either is there no use in knowing something about this old paganism of our fathers. Unconsciously, and combined with higher things, it is in us yet, that old ith withal. To know it consciously brings us into closer and clearer relations with the past, with out own possessions in the past. .. .T homas Carlyle.
