A whisper from far away, a power from within . . .

Ravens, wolves, magic rings, prophesying goddesses, shaman gods, a creation of ice and fire, collapsible ships, eight-legged horses, wild creatures and guardians of the forest, goblins, giants, dwarves, and threads of fate—Norse mythology is brimming with striking imagery that speaks to us across the centuries. These myths embody the power of story and hold just as much relevance for modern practitioners as they did for their original audiences.

In Whispers of the Elder Gods, authors Jennie Appel and Dirk Grosser invite you into the animistic world of Norse mythology, illuminating the timeless spiritual wisdom they contain. With their guidance, you will explore a series of myths, learning how to read them in context and find personal meaning within. Through innovative storytelling and corresponding rituals, you will learn to bring the magic of these ancestral tales to life, embracing ancient teachings for the modern world.
