The Return of Odin The Modern Renaissance of Pagan Imagination Audible Audio Edition Richard Rudgley Micah Hanks Inner Traditions Audio Books Reviews

• This book is painful to get through. It has been published before under a different name. It is filled with wrong information, and political biases.
  1 Odin does not give his eye to Urd, he gives it to Mimir at the well of Urd
  2 The Jotnar are descended from Ymir, the Æsir are not. They are descended from Búri.
  3 The link of Jungs archetype of Odin was not contingent on Nazi ideologies, it was incidental.
  4 There is a biological link of the Indo-European migration. Language does not migrate independently of biology.
  5 The "link" of eastern I-Ching philosophy is non-existent. There is an Indo-European relation to Hinduism, which the author ignores or is unaware of.
  And this is all within the first 30 pages!
  Do yourself a favor and don't buy this garbage. I suggest instead
  The Seed of Yggdrasil (Maria Kvilhaug)
  The Love of Destiny (Dan McCoy)
  Summoning the Gods (Collin Cleary)
  What is a Rune (Collin Cleary)
  Journeys in the Kali Yuga (Aki Cederberg)
  Echoes of Valhalla (Jon Karl Helgason)
  
  This book is political commercialism.
  
  *edit*
  The author by the end of this book does resolve some if these issues, still takes you through convoluted and irrelevant tangents about serial killers and separatist groups. The only real value of this book is that it does reference othe good works. Such as
  
  The Way of Wyrd (Bates)
  The Well of Rememberance (Metzner)
• Could’ve been so much better. Too much emphasis on negative Odinic archetypes, and for a second edition of a book, very little recent information. Toward the end, some positivity related in the modern neopagan movements. The chapter on serial killers and violence was just plain absurd. Regret buying this.
