Some of these recordings demonstrate a belief in ancient gods, supernatural beings, and personified plants helping or hindering humanity. For example, the goddess Fröja visits on a winter night to shake apple trees, beneath an evergreen oak lives a white serpent that grants wisdom when consumed, and an offering of braided straw should be made to a field god to ensure a bountiful harvest. Translated and discussed by Swedish folklorist Sara Bonadea George and introduced by legendary folklorist John Lindow, this beautiful and fully illustrated window into a world now gone is unlike anything before it.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hyldyr","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46530748678369,"sku":"9781966041078","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0510\/5215\/0960\/files\/Frojas-Apples.jpg?v=1782587544","url":"https:\/\/50wattsbooks.com\/products\/frojas-apples-sara-bonadea-george","provider":"50 Watts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
