This region has long been associated with sorcerous inhabitants, mythical tribes, metaphysical forces of good and evil, and a range of supernatural qualities. It was both the sacred abode of the gods and a feared source of menacing invaders and otherworldly beings. Whether from the perspective of traditional Jewish lore or of contemporary black metal music, few motifs in European cultural history show such longevity and broad appeal."--Provided by publisher.SupernaturalFolkloreMythologyArctic regionsThe North / Folklore & Mythology.Supernatural.Folklore.Mythology.398/.4Barraclough Eleanor RosamundCudmore Danielle Marie1985-Donecker StefanMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910158569703321Imagining the supernatural North2253876UNINA
