Barbarian Rites: The Spiritual World of the Vikings and the Germanic Tribes

Discover the untamed paganism of the Vikings and the Germanic tribes prior to the complete Christianization of Europe

• Explores the different forms of magic practiced by these tribes, including runic magic, necromancy (death magic), soul-travel, and shape-shifting

• Examines their rites of passage and initiation rituals and their most important gods, such as Odin, Loki, and Thor

• Looks at barbarian magic in historical accounts, church and assembly records, and mythology as well as an eyewitness report from a 10th-century Muslim diplomat

• Reveals the use and abuse of this tradition’s myths and magic by the Nazis

Before the conversion of Europe to Christianity in the Middle Ages, Germanic tribes roamed the continent, plundering villages and waging battles to seek the favor of Odin, their god of war, ecstasy, and magic. Centuries later, predatory Viking raiders from Scandinavia carried on similar traditions. These wild “barbarians” had a system of social classes and familial clans with complex spiritual customs, from rites of passage for birth, death, and adulthood to black magic practices and shamanic ecstatic states, such as the infamous “berserker’s rage.”

Chronicling the original pagan tradition of free and wild Europe–and the use and abuse of its myths and magic by the Nazis–Hans-Peter Hasenfratz offers a concise history of the Germanic tribes of Europe and their spiritual, magical, and occult beliefs. Looking at historical accounts, church and assembly records, mythology, and folktales from Germany, Russia, Scandinavia, and Iceland as well as an eyewitness report of Viking customs and rituals from a 10th-century Muslim diplomat, Hasenfratz explores the different forms of magic–including charms, runic magic, necromancy, love magic, soul-travel, and shamanic shape-shifting–practiced by the Teutonic tribes and examines their interactions with and eventual adaptation to Christianity. Providing in-depth information on their social class and clan structure, rites of passage, and their most important gods and goddesses, such as Odin, Loki, Thor, and Freyja, Hasenfratz reveals how it is only through understanding our magical barbarian roots that we can see the remnants of their language, culture, and dynamic spirit that have carried through to modern times.

Curse of Shadows and Thorns: The Broken Kingdoms, Book 1

A rebellious princess. A cursed rogue. A forbidden love that will bring a kingdom to its knees.

As niece of the king, Elise Lysander cares about two things: sneaking into gambling dens, and avoiding an advantageous marriage at all costs.

When her uncle holds the life of her deathly ill father over her head, reluctantly, Elise puts her fate into the hands of Legion Grey, the handsome and mysterious dowry negotiator. He may be arrogant and infuriating, but soon Legion incites a blistering, forbidden passion she can’t ignore.

As their attraction grows, so do the dangers: attacks from black-eyed people, a cursed enemy who is more beast than man, and rumors of fae returning for the crown they believe was stolen from them long ago.

After a bloody coup upends the kingdom, Elise flees with Legion, but nothing is as it seems. The man she allowed into her heart reveals his own secret plans with the return of magic—and he has every intention of using Elise to see them through.

With war between magic and mortal on the horizon, Elise must pick a side to protect her kingdom. Does she stand with her people who stole the throne? Or with a man who lied his way into her heart and whose secret past could bring her destruction?

Filled with luscious world building, banter-filled romance, and epic battles, Curse of Shadows and Thorns is the first book in The Broken Kingdoms series.

Loki Redeemed Complete Omnibus: A Norse Mythology Contemporary Fantasy

From the lead designer ofElder Scrolls V: Skyrimcomes an epic journey into Norse Mythology.
What if Loki was never the bad guy?

Loki, once a god, now nothing more than a stage magician in modern-day Chicago…
…his enemies from a thousand years ago have long memories.

Victors wrote the history, and Loki was blamed for the sins of the Norse gods. They can’t let him live in peace.

He has to set aside his new life to settle old grudges while coming to terms with what it means to be a man.

And a god.

If Loki fails, the nine realms will fall.

And the story continues with Odin’s Escape

Odin has escaped from Hel, and she wants Loki to bring him back. But the All-Father and his outlaw motorcycle gang have other plans, and that can’t be good for anyone.

First, Loki and his friend Ullr, Norse god of archery, need to figure out who is killing off the nobles of Asgard. Sif and Frigg are blaming Loki, and he must travel the Nine Realms to figure out who is framing him and stop the killings.

The story finishes withYmir’s Return

Loki and his constant companion, Muninn the raven, return once more to the Nine Realms and Asgard to recover his enchanted sword, Laevateinn. Once there, he learns that strange new giants have arrived in Jotunheim and are holding the young heir to the throne hostage. The plot thickens when Loki realized the giants are the minions of Asgard’s ancient enemy, Ymir the frost giant.

Long-lost secrets held by the Norns must be uncovered and brought to light. Reluctantly, Loki is forced to team up with his old foe, Thor, to face the new threat. But first Loki needs to wake the sleeping god of thunder from his magically induced slumber and keep the nosey detective from throwing him in jail.

This is not superhero fiction. Loki Redeemed breathes new life into Norse mythology, reinterpreting the legends through Loki’s modern lens.
