Roles of the Northern Goddess 1st Edition
Purchase options and add-ons
While much work has been done on goddesses of the ancient world and the male gods of pre-Christian Scandinavia, the northern goddesses have been largely neglected. Roles of the Northern Goddess presents a highly readable study of the worship of these goddesses by men and women. With its use of evidence from early literature, popular tradition, legend and archaeology, this book investigates the role of the early hunting goddess and the local goddesses who were involved in all aspects of the household and the farm. What emerges is that the goddess was both benevolent and destructive, a powerful figure closely concerned with birth and death and with destiny of individuals.

Overall the book is a keeper and worth the price. The author unlike at least one other writer seems to have kept her religious beliefs (whatever they may or may not be) out of the pages. I could infer some of the effects of Romanization and subsequent Christianization in the later period. Still even with these influences the author was able to point out some very lingering influences paganism brought to religious beliefs. Overall I think this book shines in its appreciation of women in the lives of the culture even if it may fall a bit short of living up to the title overall.
I would absolutely buy this book again and anything else written by Hilda...
