Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Odin's Way in the Modern World is a meditation on the Odinic path from one who has been dedicated to this god for decades. Beginning with such topics as Odin's heiti (or names), his relationship with women, and his never-ending quest for knowledge and power, the text delves into the hardships of serving Odin and the author's own long-term personal relationship with this complex deity. Drawing on examples from history and saga, he examines what being an Odinist meant to the ancient heathens, and then suggests how those who worship him now must adapt these core values to modern times, just as the god himself has changed over time. The book concludes with a series of runic poems in honor of the many aspects of Odin.
