well, I was going to list a couple of great references...But then I stopped myself - there are too many to list here... But I will say that if you want an educated exploration of the subject by people who are trying to "reinvent" the spirituality, check Dr. Stephen Flowers (AKA Edred Thorrson), and Dr. Stephan Grundy (AKA Kveldulfr Gundarsson. For pure scholarly information, you can't go wrong with Jan De Vries (although I think most works are in German), and Hilda Ellis Davidson. Don't forget Deutsche Mythologie by none other than the Brothers Grimm (yes, there are English translations - one of my most prized set of books!)
