Over the years, that devotion has inspired much creative work from those in that community who have tasted Odin's Brew - the Mead of Inspiration that Odin brought to Asgard and Midgard alike. This volume features nine of the best creative voices from that heathen community.

And in the final essay, he tackles the greatest unsolved mystery of Nazi occultism: the real identity of the sun wheel icon in Wewelsburg Castle, the spiritual home of Himmler's SS. It's been wrongly known as the so-called \"Black Sun\" for decades, but that ends now! Read here the first-ever comprehensive explanation for the symbol that is entirely level-headed and eminently plausible. Westcoat links it to the Grail and the Arthurian Mythos, revealing the Round Table Sun Wheel that has been there all along.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52932471292177,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52932471390481,"sku":"NIN9781947407176","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781947407176.jpg?v=1765790072"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/collections\/author-books-by-eirik-westcoat.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
