Title: Not worth the effort
Product review: I found the book definitely not scholarly, the grammar was horrible and totally drowned any sense of direction of the work. The tangents taken completely destroyed the thought they started from. There was use of terms totally unfamiliar with no explanation of where they came from, plus a few she admitted making up to fit her understanding of something. I give her kudos for attempting this work. However, alot of what she "interprets" as the meaning of the Voluspa is Theosophic/Neo-Pagan in origin. To truly understand the meaning of such old works as Voluspa one would have to live in the time it was conceived and have that world-view and the life experience of those people. Would I recommend this book to anyone interested in Norse lore or practices? Absolutely not.
