European Legend, Myth, and ReligionNo single cultural artifact can reveal more about the inner nature of a people than its corpus of surviving myths, for the genuine spirituality of a people glows most radiantly in its primal lore. Often, in order to discover the essence, one must look beneath alien modes of religiosity which have been imposed on a people -- and so it is with the European peoples. National Vanguard Books offers a wide-ranging collection of the mythic tales of our forefathers, as well as works by medieval compilers and modern commentators, so that the reader can have ready access to the literature which reflects the genuine world-view of our ancestors.
Many of our race's great myths have survived in books that today are
published for young adults and children. These still reflect the values
of our ancestors and are well worth reading by all adults. We recommend
Green's Myths of the Norsemen and the Oxford series:
Scandinavian Legends, German Hero-sagas, and Scottish Folk-tales.
