How the pre-Christian world really worked. Imagine a world where gods really do walk the earth, where mythical beings take on human form. It’s not the stuff of fantasy, but a careful and challenging reappraisal of the religious beliefs and practices of pre-Christian Northern Europe. Gods and Worshippers explores ancient cult sites and religious gatherings, as well as burial customs and the rites of the dead, and it reveals the intimate links between religious and secular power. Due out - May 2008 The fruit of years of painstaking research, Thor Ewing’s book will take a radically new perspective on the exotic world of our pagan past, which becomes both stranger and more intelligible as a result. Thor Ewing argues that religion was so intimately intertwined with other aspects of pre-Christian society that it is impossible to distinguish between religious and secular institutions. And, he argues, traditional magical-religious societies operated in parallel to mainstream society, according to their own distinctive morality and laws. Thor Ewing’s recent book Viking Clothing (Tempus Publishing 2006) has been well received as the definitive work on the subject. Now he has turned his attention to the biggest question of all – people’s relationship with the gods. You’ve read Tolkein and Pratchett. Now discover the truth – it’s stranger than you think!
