Heaney, Seamus. North. London: Faber & Faber Ltd., 1975. Beautiful poetry, including a number of poems about the bog people. Hollander, Lee (tr.). The Poetic Edda. Austin: University of Texas Press, (c) 1962, rep. in paperback 1986. A beautiful poetic translation which is good for Teutonic liturgical use, especially when working with those who are less deeply initiated into the frequently obscure mysteries of Northern poetic usages. Unfortunately, Hollander was often forced to sacrifice accuracy for the sake of meter and alliteratio~ do not try to use this version for detailed magical study, especially when working with kennings and other aspects of the language used in these holy poems. What Hollander does offer is a stunning example of the use of Germanic English (as opposed to Latimzed) as it should be used in Teutonic rituals. Saga of the Jomsvikings. Austin, TX: University of Texas Press, 1955. A good translation of an interesting saga. Ingramsson, Ragnar Solve. “Some Ideas for Sacralizing Regular Events” in Northways, vol. 1, no. 1 (Yule 2238). Arlington, TX:North Texas Kindred, 1988. Jones, Gwyn (tr.). Vatnsdaela Saga.. Princeton, NJ: Princeton University Press, 1944. Keyser, Rudolph (Pennock, Barclay tr.). Religion of the Northmen. New York: Charles B. Norton, 1854. An excellent book, dealing with the actual practice of the religion and music in Viking times. Lehmann, Ruth P. M. (tr.). Beowulf. Austin: University of Texas Press, 1988. A really beautiful poetic translation. List, Guido von; Stephen Flowers (tr.). The Secret of the Runes. Rochester: Destiny Books, 1988. A fascinating book by the father of modern runology and creator (discoverer?) of the Armanen futhark. Although sometimes von List ranges into the romantic, airy, or downright bizarre, his intense depth of understanding and brilliance of approach make this an important book to any student of runic magic. MacCullough, John. Mythology of All Races, vol. 2: Eddic. New York, NY: Cooper Square Publishers, Inc., (c) 1930, 1958, 1964. One of the best books available on Teutonic religion as viewed from an Eddic standpoint, although MacCullough also works quite a bit with folklore. Highly recommended. Magnusson, Eirikr/Morris, William (trs.). G rettir the Strong. Totowa, NJ: Cooper Square Publishers, 1980 (facsimile reprint of the first edition 1869). Magnusson, Magnus/Palsson, Hermann (trs.). The Vinland Sagas. New York: New York University Press, 1966. Marwick, Ernest W. The Folklore of Orkney and Shetland. Totowa, NJ: Rowman and Littlefield, 1975. A good guide to the survivals of Teutonic metaphysical views in a relatively isolated area. Munch, Peter Andreas. Scandinavian Classics, vol. XXVII: Norse Mythology. New York: The American- Scandinavian foundation, 1942. Osburn, Marijane/Longland, Stella. Rune Games. London/New York: Routledge & Kegan, Paul Ltd., 1982, 1986, 1987. This book deals solely with the Anglo—Saxon futhark; a number of their interpretations of the Rune Poem are very good. The attempts to set the runes on the Qabalistic Tree of Life are wholly ludicrous, but their generally experimental attitude seems a very good thing, and they do offer some valuable alternate perspectives. Page, R. I. An Introduction to English Runes. London: Methuen & Co., Ltd., 1973. A wholly mundane work of scholarship which should be read by magical runologists to keep their historical fantasies in perspective. Page is quite skeptical of magical interpretations in general. Pennick, Nigel. The Ancient Science of Geomancy. London: Thames & Hudson, Ltd, 1979. Sebastopol: CRC Publications, Ltd. 1987. Raphaell, Katrina. Crystal Enlightenment. New York, NY: Aurora Press, 1985, 1986. The basic New Age crystal text. Schutz, Herbert. The Prehi story of Germanic Europe. New Haven and London: Yale University Press, 1983. Storms, Dr. G.

analyzing the charm spells; a text that is both fascinating and infinitely informative. It contains a great deal of material which can be found nowhere else. Sturlusson, Snorri (Hollander, Lee tr.). Heimskringla.. Austin: University Press, 1964. Sturlusson, Snorri (Young, Jean I. tr.) Prose Edda.. Cambridge: Bowes & Bowes Publishers Ltd., 1954. Tacitus; W. Hamilton Pyfe (tr.) Dialogus Agricola and Germania. Oxford: Clarendon Press., 1908. a major source of information on the lives and practices of the continental Germanic people, although its reliability may be questioned because of the didactic purpose and natural biases of the author. Thorsson, Edred. Futhark: A Handbook of Rune Magic. York Beach, ME: Samuel Weiser, Inc., (c) 1984. The first book ever written dealing with the magical uses of the Elder Futhark. Thorsson cornbines the German Armanic studies, which are not available in English, with a great deal of his own work and development. An essential work. Runelore. York Beach, ME: Samuel Weiser, Inc., 1987. The theory of which Fut hark is the practice, Turville-Petre, E. 0. G. Myth and Religion of the North. London: Weidenfeld and Nicolson, 1964. An excellent reference work. Tyson, Donald. Rune Magic. St. Paul, MN: Llewellyn Publications, 1988. Tyson is primarily a ceremonial magician, best known as the author of The New Magus. Rune Magic shows a great deal of research and thought. It also is written from the perspective of someone who is at best a little dubious about heathen deities and at worst sees them as unpredictable and dangerous beings which must be controlled by a transcendental “All-Father.” Many of his practices, such as the use of the pentagram in ritual, are taken directly from ceremonial magic and have little place in Teutonic workings. However, Tyson is a very good practical magician; some of his suggestions in that department and some of his insights into the runes make this book worth the trouble, though it is recommended to check his interpretations against those of other writers. 181
