This is a goddess-centric collection retelling Norse mythological tales. Despite the documented feats of many of the Norse Gods and Heroes, this mythology is often bereft of any significant inclusion of the deeds of the Norse Goddesses. This could be due to the influence of Christendom at the time the mythology was recorded. However, unexplored fragments still exist that reference the unknown goddess-oriented tales. Many of the tales herein are based on cultural fragments that have persisted and have been fleshed out to fit in with what is known from the Poetic Edda, the Prose Edda, and the Saxo Grammaticus. This volume is a modern creative expansion and should be regarded as such; these tales are engendered to return what time and Christian-bias stole from the Norse Goddesses.
