Calling all pagans!
What are some of your favorite books for your craft? I want to look more into the Norse deities but have no where to start. What are some of the things that got you started?
Thank you!!

As you research, be aware that most of the books written by Heathens for Heathens are
either written by racist, homophobic, or otherwise dangerous people or just
generally very inaccurate. Until you have a basic grasp of the lore to
help you differentiate between fact and BS, I really recommend sticking
with academic sources. Not that academics can’t be full of it too, but
assuming you stick with recent sources, they are less likely to be
neonazis. (For obvious reasons, this does not apply to academic stuff
from the late 19th/early 20th century when certain movements were at
their height.)
