Unmasking Grímnir - Origins of Óðinn by Shani Oates
Показать описание
Shani Oates presents her book “The Search for Odinn: From Pontic Steppe to Sutton Hoo” (Anathema Publishing Ltd), Volume III of her Odinn Trilogy within the Northern Otherworld Series.
Óðinn 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 key to Óðinn’s real identity resides in the culture of the Scandinavian and Germanic peoples whose principle values, morals and ethics that maintained the health, welfare and well-being of the community, were in the gift of divinised spirits, ancestral and of the land or hearth.
Shani Oates argues that Óðinn, was never thus a ‘god’ of the people; conversely, he represented only the well-being of the lid or fyrd, a primary function for warriors as an elite cult. How that cult emerged, and from what sources and influences, is the quest the book seeks to fulfil.
Spanning the Romanised Cults of Mercury and the Matrones and Slavic animisms, Oates' research pushes past conventional boundaries into the totemic practises of Eurasian peoples while remaining faithfully aligned to stringent archaeological and anthropological discoveries. The book is nonetheless composed with passion, drama, heroism, romance and pathos.
We have so much to learn from distant, hidden voices whose words convey the values that relate to a different time, and of thoughts sculpted from the minds and skills of artisans and craftsmen whose incredible artefacts have much to teach us about tradition, ancestry, belief, sorcery and faith. Moulded by politics and far-reaching world-turning events centred in trade and faith, Óðinn’s presence emerges from a surprising source that many will find challenging to the popular, but wholly false persona so familiar to us.
From Asia to east Anglia, the search for Óðinn is herewith concluded.
Shani Oates lives in the Highlands near Orkney where she is a devoted practitioner of the true esoteric art. A mystic and pilgrim, she finds expression through her writing, visionary sketches, photography and therapeutic holism.
Her essays and articles have been included in “Hecate: Her Sacred Fires“ (2010) and in “The Cauldron”, “Pendragon”, “The White Dragon”, “Pentacle”, “The Goddess”, “The Hedge Wytch” and “The Wytch’s Standard”. Her debut book, “Tubelo’s Green Fire”, was released in 2010. She is current Maid of the people of Goda, of Clan of Tubal Cain.
