Interesting reflections and musings
If you want a scientific study of European polytheism, you will not find it here.If you want Vikernes' personal reflection and ruminations on European polytheism, and how it was influenced by the forceful introduction of Christianity to Europe, you will find plenty of that here. Vikernes may make claims which aren't supported by a full bibliography and hundreds of footnotes, but the majority of them simply make sense even without supporting evidence.The book is well-written, with the occasional spelling or grammar mistake, but English isn't Vikernes' first language. An editor could have easily spotted and fixed these, however - perhaps something to consider if this is ever re-released or re-printed?The tome is quite short and can be read in an hour. With free shipping it's worth it's price.

Very interesting.
I really like this book, it is refreshing because it is written by someone who understands the subject. All too often books are written about paganism by authors who are trying to compare pagan beliefs against their own religious beliefs, or perhaps write about paganism through the lens or filter of Christianity or new age nonsense. It is so difficult to find any books about paganism that don't ultimately suggest or require that you bow down or pray to someone or something, if that is what you are looking for this isn't it, thankfully. Well worth a read if you are interested in European indigenous religion/Norse religion.

Great
It is a tiny book, but you will find some great insight on European culture and religion written typically in Varg's style.The only drawback is the fact that it has some grammar mistakes and typos, but that's fine since English is not at all Varg's mother tongue. Could have made use of editing, but this should not really bother you if you are looking for knowledge.
