In a clear format, the book summarizes our knowledge about the religious beliefs of the Germans. Drawing on archaeological sources from the early Germanic period and the time of the migrations, it presents and discusses the religious customs of the Germans, which changed significantly due to contact with the Roman Empire and varied greatly by region. In light of the distorted perspectives caused by ideological aberrations in the past and by neo-pagan fantasy cults in the present, this book soberly and understandably compiles clear facts and plausible explanations from the disparate source material, which comes from various fields such as archaeology, ancient history, and German studies.
