Product Description
Product Description
After twenty years of meditation and studying, Robert Blumetti has complied a modern perspective on the Norse myths for anyone of European ancestry who seeks a personal connection with the Gods of their ancestors. He has discovered a new understanding of the death and resurrection legend of Balder and its meaning for all people of European ancestry in the twenty-first century. The Book of Balder Rising is a religious guide on how the old myths can be a path to a new spirituality in the present modern age. Blumetti's new understanding of the old myths is presented as a guide for personal and spiritual transformation.
Discover the meaning and role that the Gods can play in leading you to the dawning of the New Age of Gimli. Blumetti explains how the old Gods still live on within us, and how we can once again make them a living part of our lives. This book is a must read for all who are interested in the old pagan religions of Europe and its a message of hope and joy for the future that will change your life in ways that will amaze you.

Format:Paperback
this is as close to a bible as the northern tradition has.that being said,it has so many printing errors that to anyone not familier with the teachings,it will be hard to follow and in some cases totally misleading(eg.the mixing up of hoenir for mimir in the head story).my recomendation would be for a recall and more careful reprint.i will stress that it is unlikely that any of the mistakes in the text are the fault of the author.my main point is that this is a great book for those who know;but will need confirmation(in its present form)by those who don`t.this explains my rating 8/10.

This religion is very similar to Christianity.
9 May 2004
Format:Paperback
After editing The Book of Baulder Rising. I found there are many similarities between the two religions. Baulder rising gave me an indepth and clearer understanding of the relationship of
mankind and nature. The forces of good and evil. I found the book to be very metaphorical. I especially loved reading about
the Gods Thor and Idun. I enjoyed reading Baulder Rising and I
would highly recommend it to anyone who like to gain a better
understand of the first reconized religion by man and understand the similarities between Christ and Bauler.

Unfortunate racial overtones
25 May 2005
Format:Paperback
Given that I am someone who follows the gods that the person describes in their text, I found it incredibly disappointing that the author has elected to use this subject matter to promote spiritual segregation along racial lines. While the descriptions of the dieties may be good, the implication that someone not of European ancestory shouldn't be celebrating the gods herein rings false for me. There are many other texts (Such as Northern Mysteries by Aswynn) that don't contain such overtones.
