Othil, Norse Ancestral Traditions

Othil: Norse Ancestral Traditions presents Bradley Murphey’s lifelong study of Viking society and Norse magical practice. Rather than re‑stating familiar material, Murphey offers processes and principles developed through his own years of research and experimentation.
