Through archaeological and historical research, scholar and Pagan practitioner Annie Humphrey explores connections between Celtic\/Gaelic and Norse spiritualities of the time and reveals how this cultural relationship still informs Paganism today.\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nHumphrey shows that Norse and Irish heathen beliefs were uncorrupted by Roman influence and ultimately syncretized to form a set of deeply spiritual practices and a regional worldview that involved veneration of ancestors and the dead and a transactional relationship with household and nature spirits.\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThis book follows the spread of this unique Paganism through Northern Europe and the North Atlantic, identifying Norse settlements in areas that popular history has misidentified as purely Gaelic or Anglo-Saxon. Humphrey reveals Gaelic influence in the settling of Iceland and also looks at Irish incantations from Icelandic grimoires, showing how Norse influences reshaped Irish writing. The author also explores Manx folklore and magical traditions of the Isle of Man and remote areas like the Orkneys.\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nCombining scholarly discipline with personal gnosis, Humphrey reveals the presence of this Pagan synthesis in modern folkways and practices that have gone largely unnoticed by mainstream scholarship, bringing ancient traditions and wisdom to the contemporary practitioner.","brand":"Annie Humphrey","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45277850960079,"sku":"9798888502556","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0590\/6654\/8431\/files\/norse-gaelic-paganism-9798888502556_xlg.jpg?v=1781728389","url":"https:\/\/isisbooks.com\/products\/norse-gaelic-paganism","provider":"Goddess Isis Books \u0026 Gifts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
