Die Reihe Die achtzigbändige Reihe "Die Götter der Germanen" stellt die Gottheiten und jeden Aspekt der Religion der Germanen anhand der schriftlichen Überlieferung und der archäologischen Funde detailliert dar. Dabei werden zu jeder Gottheit und zu jedem Thema außer den germanischen Quellen auch die Zusammenhänge zu den anderen indogermanischen Religionen dargestellt und, wenn möglich, deren Wurzeln in der Jungsteinzeit und Altsteinzeit. Das Buch Dieser Band enthält 11 Sagas, deren Inhalt zu einem großen Teil aus den umgedeuteten Mythen des ehemaligen nordgermanischen Sonnengott-Göttervaters Tyr bestehen, der um 500 n.Chr. von Thor und Odin abgesetzt worden ist. Dies sind die Sagas über Hedin und Högni, Hervor und König Heidrek den Weisen, Ketil Forelle, Grim Struppig-Wange, Pfeile-Odd, An Bogenbieger, Hrolf Kraki und seine Krieger, Helgi Thorisson, Halfdan Eysteinsson, Thorstein Hausmacht und schließlich noch die Saga über Illugi Grid-Ziehsohn.

The sagas of the ancient Narts are to the Caucasus what Greek mythology is to Western civilization. This book presents, for the first time in the West, a wide selection of these fascinating myths preserved among four related peoples whose ancient cultures today survive by a thread. In ninety-two straightforward tales populated by extraordinary characters and exploits, by giants who humble haughty Narts, by horses and sorceresses, Nart Sagas from the Caucasus brings these cultures to life in a powerful epos. In these colorful tales, women, not least the beautiful temptress Satanaya, the mother of all Narts, are not only fertility figures but also pillars of authority and wisdom. In one variation on a recurring theme, a shepherd, overcome with passion on observing Satanaya bathing alone, shoots a "bolt of lust" that strikes a rock--a rock that gives birth to the Achilles-like Sawseruquo, or Sosruquo. With steely skin but tender knees, Sawseruquo is a man the Narts come to love and hate. Despite a tragic history, the Circassians, Abazas, Abkhaz, and Ubykhs have retained the Nart sagas as a living tradition. The memory of their elaborate warrior culture, so richly expressed by these tales, helped them resist Tsarist imperialism in the nineteenth century, Stalinist suppression in the twentieth, and has bolstered their ongoing cultural journey into the post-Soviet future. Because these peoples were at the crossroads of Eurasia for millennia, their myths exhibit striking parallels with the lore of ancient India, classical Greece, and pagan Scandinavia. The Nart sagas may also have formed a crucial component of the Arthurian cycle. Notes after each tale reveal these parallels; an appendix offers extensive linguistic commentary. With this book, no longer will the analysis of ancient Eurasian myth be possible without a close look at the Nart sagas. And no longer will the lover of myth be satisfied without the pleasure of having read them. Excerpts from the Nart sagas "The Narts were a tribe of heroes. They were huge, tall people, and their horses were also exuberant Alyps or Durduls. They were wealthy, and they also had a state. That is how the Narts lived their lives. . . ." "The Narts were courageous, energetic, bold, and good-hearted. Thus they lived until God sent down a small swallow. . . ." "The Narts were very cruel to one another. They were envious of one another. They disputed among themselves over who was the most courageous. But most of all they hated Sosruquo. . . . A rock gave birth to him. He is the son of a rock, illegally born a mere shepherd's son. . . ." In a new introduction, folklorist Adrienne Mayor reflects on these tales both in terms of the fascinating warrior culture they depict and the influence they had on Greco-Roman mythology.

Through a combination of archaeological artifacts and early writings, historians have recovered much of a lifestyle and philosophy that once rivaled those of Greece and Rome. Even today the names of figures from northern mythology, from Odin and Thor to the Valkyries, have not lost their power to excite the imagination. Richly illustrated.

In magic a special language is spoken - not the spells, not the old languages that nobody uses for thousands of years, not the language of grimoires ... but the language of images. This language is direct and sincere and true - it is what it is, it tells how it is, it shows the innermost essence of what is signified ... the words of this language are a reflection of what they point to. The language of magic needs the connection to what it wants, it must be accurate, without inner contradiction ... otherwise this language has no magical effect. The language of magic works in the subconsciousness - and the subconsciousness is not judgmental, it is not moral, it hides nothing, it sees everything ... and that is where magic works. The words of magic direct the life-force - and what is the life-force but the "substance" of the subconsciousness? ... therefore the language of the magicians must be a True Language. The language of magic in astrology is the Moon: the inner images, the dreams, the dream journeys, the visions, the symbols, the omens, the fairy tales, the myths ... the language of magic is the "Language of the Moon"

Magical items are mostly familiar from fantasy novels and fantasy movies, but they also exist "in real life." However, these real magic items are different from those that appear in the realm of fantasy. They are gateways to certain qualities, spirits, and deities, but not items that give a person a power they could not otherwise obtain. Such magical objects include talismans, magic rings, magic wands, voodoo dolls, and the spiritus familiaris (a self-made spirit), as well as statues, temples, sweat lodges, haunted houses, pyramids, power places, crop circles, and homeopathic globules. These magical objects are neither indispensable (you can achieve everything without them) nor useless (they can help with many things) - they are tools that can facilitate many things in magic.

The Saga of the Volsungs is an Icelandic epic of special interest to admirers of Richard Wagner, who drew heavily upon this Norse source in writing his Ring Cycle and a primary source for writers of fantasy such as J. R. R. Tolkien and romantics such as William Morris. A trove of traditional lore, it tells of love, jealousy, vengeance, war, and the mythic deeds of the dragonslayer, Sigurd the Volsung. Byock's comprehensive introduction explores the history, legends, and myths contained in the saga and traces the development of a narrative that reaches back to the period of the great folk migrations in Europe when the Roman Empire collapsed.
