Title: | Othin in England: Evidence from the Poetry for a Cult of Woden in Anglo-Saxon England | Contributor(s): | Ryan, John S (author) | Publication Date: | 1963 | DOI: | 10.1080/0015587X.1963.9716920 | Handle Link: | https://hdl.handle.net/1959.11/11598 | Abstract: | It is a commonplace in the criticism of Old English literature to state that the whole poetic technique was a heritage from Germanic heathendom. It is, similarly, widely admitted, that the ideas, which were given heathen dress, meant a great deal - in some vague way - to the minds of the early English. It is not so generally agreed that a close analysis of this received material may still yield us some knowledge of the ways in which our ancestors regarded their deities. In the course of this paper I propose to confine my attention to the cult of the god, Woden, and to the various practices which were associated with his name. | Publication Type: | Journal Article | Source of Publication: | Folklore, 74(3), p. 460-480 | Publisher: | Routledge | Place of Publication: | United Kingdom | ISSN: | 1469-8315 0015-587X |
