Despite the impeccable character of Gundarsson‘s academic research and thorough documentation, this book is written in a pleasant style, easy to read and often deeply moving.
Wotan: The Road to Valhalla is a vital book not only for those who love and seek to understand Óðinn himself, but for all Heathens, whoever their personal patron may be: it explains nothing less than the fundamental power of the oldest and most enduring aspect of the Northern religion, the memorialization of and communion with our kin who have gone before us.
A source of deep understanding for Heathens, Gundarsson‘s new book is also a powerful rebuttal to all those who dismiss us as somehow less than a "real" religion: no Jesuit scholar could have done a better job of investigating an important and difficult theological problem.
Gundarsson demonstrates, without a doubt, that the Germanic religion is a subtle, complex, and living faith, as well-suited to fulfilling the spiritual and emotional (as well as intellectual and aesthetic) needs of its followers today as it was in the Viking Age and before.
Every godhi and gydhja should study this book with great care against that day when they are called upon to share the traditional wisdom of our ancestors in the face of death or grief.
It is destined to become a classic in the field of Heathen counselling. As a full-time professional writer, KveldúlfR Gundarsson deserves particular praise for having foregone the advantages of traditional publication in order to present Wotan: The Road to Valhalla as an e-book so that it would be more readily available to those who need it.
A "must-have"!
