The Gods of Ragnarok is an excellent book that provides insight into a fascinating topic- gods and their role in human mythology as well as real world practices today, including animal sacrifice for divine approval (which we know to be immoral). It also explores how some humans try to gain power by making up new religions or trying out more obscure ones. The author's writing style is engaging yet scholarly with a focus on the religious beliefs of ancient people in cultures and societies where it had an impact like their own time period, as well as insights into other topics such as animal sacrifice for economic purposes today (which we know to be unethical).
