More about the book
Focusing on Germanic paganism, the book explores a coherent understanding of fate that transcends time, linking it to an implicit theory of truth. It examines Germanic cosmogony through vivid imagery, such as the world-tree, and analyzes metaphors of fate woven by the Norns, the Norse goddesses of destiny. By integrating philosophical and mythic-linguistic perspectives, the work provides fresh insights into the lingering influence of pagan beliefs about fate that persisted even after the Christian conversion.
