Publisher's Synopsis
Bradley Murphey brings his life's work to you with his debut study on the Viking society. Othil is a book about Norse tradition. There are many such books being published today, but, what makes this book different, is that the processes contained herein, are his own hard work. Through many years of research and experimentation, he has discovered basic principles that focus magical and ritual intents, which are based on a foundation of ancient (and not so ancient) cultural understandings. Various subjects are covered: Norse Mythology, Deities and Other Beings, Creation, The Beginning and End of the World, Government and Society, Blots and Celebrations. Norse Ritual, Seidh, Runes, Meanings of the Runes, Rune Casting, Rune Magic, Rune Stones in America, Vikings in America, Herb Lore, Trees, Woods and Metals and Poetic and Musical Styles.
