if you mean "starter" then you could probably get away with neil gaiman's recent book about norse myths or east of the sun west of the moon or summat like that

i love how when someone posts something like "how do i get into..." or "what is a starter book on...." some pseud lists all the most tedious books they can find on the subject on wikipedia. that is the true spirit of /lit/
the eddas are great stories tho

Im currently reading this and it is very good. Its important that most of the knowlege we havr about norse myths and european myths in general was written by christians, so its full of misinformation. Varg has done a good job on weeding out most of these things; and if you want a good understanding of european myths op should consider reading this. >>10308612 im still waiting on my copy in the mail, but marie has done some very good work, her videos are very good and offer good explanations of ancient european religion.
