Hello friends,
I am looking for some reading or audiobook recommendations for a trip I am about to take. It is my first vacation in two decades after finishing undergraduate and graduate work. I have some downtime and would like to learn more about my ancestors who hailed from Scotland, England and the Norse nations. I have a particular interest in learning about the mixing of cultures between the Picts, Welsh, Britons, Angles, Saxons, and "Danes".
I am also interested in learning the stories and practices of Norse and Celtic paganism and to an extent how its practiced today via Neopaganism.
Thanks so much in advance!
Hi there anyone interested in recommending things to OP! While you might have a title to share, this is still a thread on /r/AskHistorians, and we still want the replies here to be to an /r/AskHistorians standard - presumably, OP would have asked at /r/history or /r/askreddit if they wanted a non-specialist opinion. So give us some indication why the thing you're recommending is valuable, trustworthy, or applicable! Posts that provide no context for why you're recommending a particular podcast/book/novel/documentary/etc, and which aren't backed up by a historian-level knowledge on the accuracy and stance of the piece, will be removed.
