The Viking Spirit: An Introduction to Norse Mythology and Religion by Daniel McCoy
3.0
A weird book. Self-published by an author with-- to my knowledge-- no official academic work in the field, it serves as much as an introduction to Norse mythology and its intersection with Norse culture as it does one man's perspective on Norse mythology and its intersection with Norse culture.
If you're already familiar with the subject and don't need an easy introduction, you're much better off reading Gods and Myths of Northern Europe by H.R. Ellis Davidson. Not least because The Viking Spirit is hugely influenced by this book.
