Thor and Odin, Dievs, Diana, fairies-these old gods find new life in the Neopagan movement. In North America and Europe, people increasingly turn to ancestral religions, not as amusement or matters of passing interest, but in an effort to practice those religions as they were before the advent of Christianity.
Michael F. Strmiska, Ph.D., is assistant professor of world history at Central Connecticut State University, New Britain, CT. He has published articles on Scandinavian mythology, the Asatru Pagan revival movement in Iceland, and the Romuva Pagan movement in Lithuania.
"This volume is highly recommended for scholars of alternative religions, paganism, new religious movements, and contemporary religious developments." - Sophia
