Our Troth: History and Lore

Our Troth is the single most comprehensive book available on the reborn religion of Heathenry -- the pre-Christian religion of the Germanic peoples. First published in 1993 but out of print for years, Our Troth is back in print, featuring updates and additions from its original compiler, Kveldulf Gundarsson, and from many other Heathen writers, all edited by well-known author Diana L. Paxson. Volume 1 covers the history and lore of Heathen religion, from its deepest Stone Age roots to its flowering today, with information on the Gods, Goddesses, and other beings that receive honor and worship, and the ethics of being Heathen.

5A Highly Recommended Book!  Jul 18, 2008
This is a highly recommended book for those who are interested in Norse/Viking Mythology and their higher spiritual beliefs and history. Being a student of comparative Religion, I found this to be very informative and well referenced. In fact, I learned more from this book on these topics then I have from a number of other books on the subject.

5Well worth the wait  Feb 02, 2008
I waited for a long time for this book to come out in print again and the wait was definitely worth it. There's so much information in this book about Heathenism and it's very readable. For those on the Heathen Path or just very interested, this is a must have book.

This is a great book for anyone interested in Heathenry,it covers SO MUCH and I was very impressed with how everything is sourced and the scholorly work that was put into making the book. I was also happy to be able to get exposed to so many different excellent heathen author's, as this book contains many. I just received Volume 2 in the mail today and I look forward to reading it.

5Must have for those who wish to read of Northern European and Germanic Culture and religion  Aug 13, 2007
This book is an amazing and well thought out explanation of the Northern and Germanic culture and religions from as far back as is possible with historical data. I would personally recommend that anyone interested in History, Culture, or Religion from these areas should buy this book. It is neatly organized into sections that can be read independantly of each other but is best read all together. The amazing amount of detailed work and effort put into this is work is amazing. The detail available is great but it can sometimes feel overwhelming to read and absorb. None the less I would recommend this book to anyone interested in the topics addressed in it, it is surely a new way of looking at things.

2DISAPPOINTING  Jul 05, 2007
I thought this was going to be an update of Teutonic Religion, or a continuation. All it is, is a re-examination of the Norse pantheon. It's well done, I admit that. It just isn't anything new.
