Oates is a magical practitioner whose writings including ‘Tubelo’s Green Fire’; ‘The Arcane Veil'; ‘A Paean for Hekate’ and ‘The People of Goda’ have been published by various occult publishers including Scarlet Imprint, Fulgur, Mandrake and Avalonia. Of this volume the publisher says: "Ódinn has been scandalised and deified in equal measure by medieval churchmen, demonising pre-Christian beliefs, and more recently by the romantic idealists and nationalists of the 20th Century, who glamorised them, to the extent that the genuine historical persona of this popular figure is saturated in complex, confusing mythology. Poetic kennings and riddles tease out our deductive processes, pushing beyond rational, logistic exploration to evoke our apprehension of the Other." "The Search for Ódinn: From Pontic Steppe to Sutton Hoo" is Volume III of the author's "Ódinn Trilogy" within the "Northern Otherworld Series." NEW book - in fine condition with card. (no dust jacket issued). Item #70781
