'Sorcery and Religion in Ancient Scandinavia' is the latest book by Varg Vikernes, one of the most controversial musicians of all time and the mastermind behind one of the most acclaimed black metal bands in the world: Burzum. Vikernes was convicted of murdering band member Euronymous in 1994 and has since spent 15 years studying the traditions and beliefs of ancient Scandinavians and their influence on modern Europeans. That research has resulted in a book in which the outspoken and often divisive author challenges many of the widespread beliefs about contemporary culture and its history.
The passionate and profound text offers absorbing insight into the thoughts of this most notorious musician. 'Sorcery and Religion in Ancient Scandinavia' is fascinating reading and will be of interest not only to black metal and Burzum fans, but also to those interested in Norse mythology or European history and social commentators.
