haptalaonHive mind: I'm making a reading list of The Ancient Myths Of Northern Europe, including like, the Eddas, the Mabinogion, the Kalevala, and I'm crowdsourcing for recommendations to create as complete a list as possible of - ancient times, myths of gods and monsters.If you've been following along wiht my Fencraft development, it's stories which are plausibly part of a British Landweird - but shying away from including Hellenic & Roman sources, even though we did a lot of trading, because IMO they are too dominant in the way we imagine ancient religion.
I'll also be making a separate list for the best "facty" books on thse topics - Aspects of Anglo Saxon Magic and Looking for the Lost Gods of England will both be on there, as suggestions for the kinds of topics I want to include.
What have you read that's really good? Overall, imagine that I was the Grand Poobah Of A Religious Mystery Cult focused on these sorts of things, and you were looking at the syllabus for Week 3: Ancient Religions: what books would you expect to see there?
Cheers all, and if you take pleasure in self promotion, I am happy to repay the help with a namecheck or link at the bottom of the finished article
