{"product_id":"173717233","title":"Hans-Peter Hasenfratz | BARBARIAN RITES : The Spiritual World Of The Vikings \u0026 The Germanic Tribes (O)","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBEFORE THE CONVERSION\u003c\/b\u003e of Europe to Christianity in the Middle Ages, Germanic tribes roamed the continent, plundering villages and waging battles to seek the favour of Odin, their god of war, ecstasy and magic. Centuries later, predatory Viking raiders from Scandinavia carried on similar traditions. These wild 'barbarians' had a system of social classes and familial clans with complex spiritual customs, from rites of passage for birth, death and adulthood to black magic practices and shamanic ecstatic states, such as the infamous 'berserker's rage'.Chronicling the original pagan tradition of free and wild Europe - and the use and abuse of its myths and magic by the Nazis - Hans-Peter Hasenfratz offers a concise history of the Germanic tribes of Europe and their spiritual, magical and occult beliefs. Looking at historical accounts, church and assembly records, mythology and folktales from Germany, Russia, Scandinavia and Iceland as well as an eyewitness report of Viking customs and rituals from a 10th-century Muslim diplomat, Hasenfratz explores the different forms of magic - including charms, runic magic, necromancy, love magic, soul-travel and shamanic shape-shifting - practised by the Teutonic tribes - and examines their interactions with and eventual adaptation to Christianity. Providing in-depth information on their social class and clan structure, rites of passage and their most important gods and goddesses, such as Odin, Loki, Thor and Freyja, Hasenfratz reveals how it is only through understanding our magical barbarian roots that we can see the remnants of their language, culture and dynamic spirit that have carried through to modern times. · explores the different forms of magic practised by these tribes, including runic magic, necromancy (death magic), soul-travel and shape-shifting · examines their rites of passage and initiation rituals and their most important gods, such as Odin, Loki and Thor · Looks at barbarian magic in historical accounts, church and assembly records and mythology as well as an eyewitness report from a 10th-century Muslim diplomat · reveals the use and abuse of this tradition's myths and magic by the Nazis\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"padding: 0 20px 0 20px; border: thin solid #000000;\"\u003e\u003cp style=\"font-size: smaller;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eBindning:\u003c\/b\u003e Häftad. 8:o (152x229 mm) \u003cb\u003eÅr:\u003c\/b\u003e 2011. \u003cb\u003eOmfång:\u003c\/b\u003e 176 s. \u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781594774218. \u003cb\u003eSpråk:\u003c\/b\u003e Engelska\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbutton class=\"product-form__submit button button--secondary\" onclick=\"window.location.href='\/search?q=tag:Övrigt%2BÖvrigt%2BGermansk%2Breligion'\"\u003eGermansk religion\u003c\/button\u003e \u003cbutton class=\"product-form__submit button button--full-width \" onclick=\"window.location.href='\/search?q=title:Hasenfratz%2BHans-Peter%2BBarbarian%2BRites'\"\u003eSök fler exemplar av denna bok\u003c\/button\u003e\u003cbutton class=\"product-form__submit button button--full-width \" onclick=\"window.location.href='\/search?q=title:Hans-Peter%2BHasenfratz'\"\u003eFler böcker av Hans-Peter Hasenfratz\u003c\/button\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"padding: 0 20px 0 20px; border: thin solid #000000;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size: smaller; font-weight:bold;\"\u003eAnvänd gärna länkarna nedan för att hitta liknande böcker.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size: smaller;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eFörfattare:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"\/search?q=title:Hasenfratz+Hans-Peter\"\u003eHasenfratz, Hans-Peter\u003c\/a\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTitel:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"\/search?q=title:Barbarian+Rites\"\u003eBarbarian Rites\u003c\/a\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eUndertitel:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"\/search?q=title:The+Spiritual+World+Of+The+Vikings+\u0026amp;+The+Germanic+Tribes+(O)\"\u003eThe Spiritual World Of The Vikings \u0026amp; The Germanic Tribes (O)\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFörlag:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"\/search?q=vendor:Inner+Traditions\"\u003eInner Traditions\u003c\/a\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eArtikelnr:\u003c\/b\u003e 173717233\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Inner Traditions","offers":[{"title":"Förlagsny bok \/ Häftad","offer_id":44627056853259,"sku":"173717233","price":478.0,"currency_code":"SEK","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0651\/8856\/1163\/files\/no_image_01aec396-646a-4c1b-97ff-84b557bf9764.jpg?v=1719974679","url":"https:\/\/bok.hstrom.se\/products\/173717233","provider":"bok.hstrom.se | Antikvariat \u0026 Bokhandel","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
