Hey guys i was just looking for a starting point on heathen resources. I noticed multiple other posts in different threads providing numerous books, but I was kind of wondering which books are better to start off with. If i was too buy the whole list it would cost ALOT :='(:. So if there is anything in particular some of you feel is a good first step into heathenry... it would be greatly appreciated.

Re: Looking for a starting point
There are alot of good links in the sticky that heads the heathenry section of the forum, and there are tons of internet links which are free, they have some good books listed too. I think that there is even an online listing for a translation of the poetic edda somewhere in the Heathen traditions section, I have not waded through it myself in some time, but I think one of the eddas would be a good place to start, as I am fairly certain that most of the basic heathenry books I can think of are fairly expensive.
Let me also note that I am not an expert, so I may not be the very best person to ask.http://catcrowsnow.blogspot.com/

Re: Looking for a starting point
Davidson is probably the best author to read first. Its a scholarly book, but not dry at all.
Asatru Lore is a magnificent source for modern heathenry, but treat it like a library and not a social forum.
