Author Description

Our Troth is the single most comprehensive book ever published on the religious traditions of Heathenry: the pre-Christian religions of the Germanic-speaking peoples, revitalized as a living tradition for today. The third edition has been completely revised and updated from the book's original edition in 1993, drawing on the latest scholarship and on developments within the Heathen community. The third volume covers topics ranging from the soul and the afterlife in Heathen belief, to Heathen ethics and values, to the importance of racial and gender inclusion in Heathenry, to how to organize a kindred and create effective rituals. The book surveys the lore of Heathen holy days and rites of passage, and gives resources for further study.
