This book is about the Old Norse god Odin. It includes references to all occurrences of Odin in the Old Norse/Icelandic texts, including Saxo’s Gesta Danorum, the eddic poems, Snorri’s Edda, and Ynglinga saga and analyses the high medieval reception and literary representations of Odin rather than the religious character of the god. This is the only existing study of Odin in all the Old Norse/Icelandic texts and applies a contextual method: the different guises of Odin are studied on the basis of the various textual contexts and on their background in the literary and Christian intellectual milieu of the time. Contrary to existing studies, this method is non-reductive in that it does not aim at providing a synthesis about Odin’s original nature on the basis of the differing textual uses of Odin in the Middle Ages. The book argues that the perceived complexity of Odin, often highlighted in research, is first and foremost a function of the complex textual material spanning a wide variety of genres each with its particular literary conventions and of the reception of Odin in early modern and modern mythological studies.

The bold revelation about religion based on the present concept as a human rather than divine invention. Book Three of the Trilogy of Truth. Humans are created with an inherent desire to connect with the supernatural because the human spirit is a product of the supernatural—the Breadth of Life from God. The fall in the Garden of Eden caused a disconnection between Man and God. Pagan World: Deception And Falsehood In Religion draws from history, religious history, and theology to reveal the origin of the present concept of religion, falsehood in religion, and paganism. It explores the Abrahamic Covenant while assessing the three main Abrahamic religions—Judaism, Christianity, and Islam—to ascertain the validity of each as a representative of the covenant God made with Abraham. Highlighting the role of eisegesis in the invention of theologies used to found different religions, Ziri employs the right Biblical hermeneutics in exegeting Scriptural texts to reveal shortcomings associated with such theologies while also applying the rightful interpretation of Biblical texts including prophecies to reveal God’s plan for the restoration of mankind. Written with Ziri’s trademark literary dexterity and investigative skill, this insightful and thought-provoking exposé is Pagan World: Deception And Falsehood In Religion.

An examination of the sacred botany and the pagan origins and rituals of Christmas • Analyzes the symbolism of the many plants associated with Christmas • Reveals the shamanic rituals that are at the heart of the Christmas celebration The day on which many commemorate the birth of Christ has its origins in pagan rituals that center on tree worship, agriculture, magic, and social exchange. But Christmas is no ordinary folk observance. It is an evolving feast that over the centuries has absorbed elements from cultures all over the world--practices that give plants and plant spirits pride of place. In fact, the symbolic use of plants at Christmas effectively transforms the modern-day living room into a place of shamanic ritual. Christian Rätsch and Claudia Müller-Ebeling show how the ancient meaning of the botanical elements of Christmas provides a unique view of the religion that existed in Europe before the introduction of Christianity. The fir tree was originally revered as the sacred World Tree in northern Europe. When the church was unable to drive the tree cult out of people’s consciousness, it incorporated the fir tree by dedicating it to the Christ child. Father Christmas in his red-and-white suit, who flies through the sky in a sleigh drawn by reindeer, has his mythological roots in the shamanic reindeer-herding tribes of arctic Europe and Siberia. These northern shamans used the hallucinogenic fly agaric mushroom, which is red and white, to make their soul flights to the other world. Apples, which figure heavily in Christmas baking, are symbols of the sun god Apollo, so they find a natural place at winter solstice celebrations of the return of the sun. In fact, the authors contend that the emphasis of Christmas on green plants and the promise of the return of life in the dead of winter is just an adaptation of the pagan winter solstice celebration.
