Maskers van Odin, De

The Masks of Odin opens our eyes to wisdom long sealed away, revealing ancient knowledge from a time when science, philosophy, and religion were one.
The clear translation of the most important songs of the Poetic or Elder Edda and the commentaries and notes by Elsa-Brita Titchenell make the timeless wisdom of the skalds (teachers) understandable.
The stories of gods and heroes, elves and dwarves, giants and trees of life are deciphered with the help of theosophical keys, so that the reader gains a broader understanding of the cosmic vision in Norse mythology
