    About this audiobook

    In this audio book, Norse Mythology: A Concise Guide to the Gods, Heroes, Sagas, Rituals, and Beliefs of Norse Mythology, the listener will be transported to the ancient customs of beliefs of the ancient Vikings of the north. This audiobook is dedicated to exploring the gods and goddesses that the Nordic people worshiped.


    You will discover:


    • A description and explanation of the Norse mythological gods and goddesses, and which tribe the gods mentioned belonged to
    • An introduction to the Nordic pagan belief systems, and the multifaceted ways in which their religious practices were incorporated into their daily lives
    • Popular Nordic sagas, a description of what sagas were, and examples of the most important sagas within the Norse culture
    • An explanation of the most revered Norse rituals and celebrations, and how their beliefs left their impression on religious practices that are still held by Christianity today

    The Nordic people had many heroes of myth and legend, and you will be introduced to both stories of myth and living, breathing Viking heroes that were revered. Norse mythology is intricate and complex, and the ideals behind their mythological beliefs were often intertwined with real life events. This audiobook will examine how both myth and fact contributed to the culture and traditions of the Nordic people, and how these influences and stories continue to live on throughout the centuries!

      Audiobooks like these make my day. They're wonderful. This audio book is entitled to a big, fat 5-star testimonial.

      It's a great thing when you are able to just put on your headsets and tune in to an audiobook like this. The storyteller's voice was soothing. Did I already point out that it sounded really professional? Well, it did. Yes, and that's why I liked listening to it so much. The pronunciation of the words in this particular book was fantastic, along with all the info contained in it. Based upon that, I am actually happy that I bought the book. It was truly worth my time.

      Just listening in my car, I enjoyed this particular audio book. The creator must have devoted a lot of time on creating this audio book. In my eyes, it was simply one of those audio books you can not avoid. You can not overlook it, since it is one of the best out there. I might become repetitious here, but that's just how I think about it.

      This audiobook ought to get a big, fat 5-star review. I took advantage of this audiobook. It was an eye-opener. I was wanting to discover more about this subject anyway, so it was actually no coincidence that I ran into this. I listened to it, and certainly not to my surprise, it was exactly what I was trying to find. There were many things within this book that I didn't know until now. I am thankful I got it. It was well worth my time, especially since I listened to it while I was driving a car to work.

      There are actually too many bad audio books around, but this is not one of them. This particular audiobook has lots of fantastic material. The narrator's voice was simply relaxing. Did I already point out that it appeared to be very professional? It did. Without a doubt, and that's the reason that I liked listening to it a lot.

      This book deserves a big, fat 5-star testimonial. In my perspective, it was pretty great. There might perhaps have been a few barely recognizable mistakes in there, but they did not bother me. Whenever you are able to listen to a storyteller who is this good, and about an idea that you have an interest in, you don't care about the other parts. That's the end of the that. I don't think the word "incredible" does this particular book justice. There needs to be a better word, and I am going to keep searching, since it deserves something good to be said about it.

      This is a secret jewel. This audio has precious info. It is easy: If you purchase this audio book, you will definitely find out more about the theme. The title of this book matches the content, so there is no question about how legit this audiobook is. So, there you have it. I had the ability to understand everything plainly, not just since the narrator pronounced words very well, but also because the info in it included new things to be learned.

      I don't think you need to keep looking. This audio book says all of it. I am trying to say something bad about this audio book, but I can't. It's simply way too good. So without any further exaggeration, I just believe everyone should think of listening to it. The best parts of this book (I forgot which chapters) implied the most to me. When I heard these things, I instantly understood I had made the ideal choice. This book spoke to me.

      A great hour long intro into the norse mythology. Loved the description of the seasons!
    • 5/5
      Dearest consumers, I really hope you see this message. I want you to know that this is an amazing audiobook. I almost overlooked this book, but I am happy that I checked it out anyway. It makes a lot of sense what the writer says, especially in the last handful of chapters, in which the subject becomes a conclusion. Despite of the writer's understanding about the topic, the storyteller was still the element I was most amazed with. This is what actually offered me on the writer's book.
    • 5/5
      Not bad in any way. I believe it's 1 of the best audiobooks on the market. The pronunciation of the words in this specific audio book was fantastic, in addition to all the information contained in it. Based upon that, I am actually glad that I purchased the book. It was definitely worth my time. I thoroughly appreciated listening to this book. It contains all of the elements of a publication regarding this subject that it should contain. Having said this, I am usually happy about things anyway, bu If I would have to summarize it, it would be in 1 word: Great! I don't always enjoy any audiobooks, but this one stood out. And because it did, I started studying it. It was some of the most ideal time I spent, particularly since I was doing various other tasks in the meantime.
    • 5/5
      Download this, you won't regret it. An hour of your time worth spending. And if you enjoy norse mythology, even better.
    • 5/5
      The 5 stars must be 6 stars. Yes, that's how it is. You heard me. I feel it's so good that it should have 6 stars. The difference between this audio book and many other audio books, is actually that this one is a lot better. This is the supreme mix of a terrific narrator and a terrific writer, who partnered and decided to turn this book into an useful item. Great for them.
    • 3/5
      Good book.
      A concise and brief guide to Norse way of life
    • 4/5
      A bit superficial and sometimes conflicting with other sources, but overall an interesting read that covers most of the basics of norse myth.
