Any good sources for accurate norse mythology? I know that there aren't too many totally accurate sources as most things were written hundreds of years after and are more dramatizations but I'm looking for something (book, movie, website, etc.) That is (at least somewhat) fairly accurate in the beliefs. Currently reading translation of poetic Edda by Jackson Crawford, and am planing on reading the prose Edda afterwards, but from what I've heard these are more preservations of literature rather than preservations of beliefs. Or am I wrong about most being dramatizations? Thanks for the help!
There will always more to be said (....also for this case?), but I'd especially recommend you to check the following two very stimulating answers on the relevant topic (How we can or cannot know the Old Norse mythology) in this subreddit at first:

I'd also say that I can suggest some relevant and relatively accurate (I hope so) contemporary written accounts on how the Norse people practiced some kind of religious rituals, but recent researches tend to be negative in identifying any connection between well-known 'Old Norse mythology' and them, as I also mentioned a little before in Did Vikings sacrifice captives/enemies to gods and deities like the fire giant Sutr?
