A review of Vilhelm Grønbech's seminal work on the religion and culture of ancient Germanic peoples. Grønbech, professor of the history of religion at the University of Copenhagen, looks at Norse, Lombardic, Anglo-Saxon, Gothic and Roman sources to identify a common Teutonic culture focused on luck, honour, shame, kinship, and a unique perspective on the afterlife and the soul. My review includes favourite quotes from volume 1 of the two part book republished by Antelope Hill.

Pagan Finnish author ‪Aki Cederberg joins me as we discuss his latest book Holy Europe (PYHÄ EUROOPPA), published in English in 2024 by Arcana Europa. The book is a travelogue in which Aki invites the reader to join him on a spiritual exploration of the continent, looking at ancient pagan holy sites, as well as places relevant to artists and esotericists who have sought the holy within Europe in various ways. He addresses the spiritual crisis of Western man by showing how the sacred is still accessible in Europe today.

I have moved Jive Book Review to the second channel (Jive Talk) because it isn't so popular. I haven't done an ep of JBR for about 3 years! 

This book is very interesting and a must read if you are a pagan who is influenced at all by the Traditionalist school.
