Irminic Recommended Reading List

von Steve Anthonijsz

A number of people have asked about source materials for learning more about Irminenschaft. Of course, the “must read” is Germanic Heathenry: A Practical Guide by James Hjuka Coulter, which lays out an easy-to-follow overview of Irminic orthodoxy and orthopraxy as it has come down to us over the ages. I like to think that my own book, Heathen Magic: An Irminic View offers a useful supplement. But for those who wish to delve deeper or who wish to broaden their understanding of Irminenschaft here are some suggestions.
