I thought some Heathens might be interested in this, there's a book called 'New Edda' by Wayland Skallagrimsson (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/1594571139/) (you can read his site here (http://www.uppsalaonline.com/uppsala/main.htm)), it's a collection of myths, lore and tales of the Norse gods that have appeared since the time of the conversion (he's got a few other books some people might be interested in like 'Odin's Way in the Modern World' (http://www.cafepress.com/wayland.23453859) and a few others which you can see here (http://www.cafepress.com/wayland)).

Hope someone likes this.

David.

it's pretty good, although he tries a little too hard to keep to the old style, imo.

I really enjoyed his book "New Edda". A bunch of stories about folk continuing to worship the gods after the conversion. The story about Odin's Barrow was particularly inspiring. Definitely worthwhile reading IMO.
