'From the introduction: Those of us descended from European ancestors are naturally moved to ask whether anything in our own tradition is relevant to surviving the ecological crisis. This book explores the animistic-shamanistic worldview of the aboriginal inhabitants of Europe....In particular, I am focusing on the mythology and worldview of the pre-Christian Germanic tribes of northern Europe, because this strand of our collective consciousness is relatively neglected and unknown.'
