Path to the Ancestors: Exploring Ancestor Worship within Modern Germanic Heathenry

Long has the topic of ancestor worship in modern Germanic Heathenry been largely overlooked. While many within Germanic Heathenry worship their ancestors, other than a few mentions in books, blog posts, web pages and small publications there has not been a work dedicated to the topic. This short book seeks to be a first of its kind and broach the topic. In many ways it is the tale of the path of Swain Wodening from dedicated worshiper of the Germanic gods to worshiper of the ancestors. Not much information exists on the topic so this book is full of personal experiences. This work explores the reasons one should worship his or her ancestors. It details what evidence there is in surviving Germanic texts. Finally rites to the ancestors are provided for one to use or adapt.
