A review of Vilhelm Grønbech's seminal work on the religion and culture of ancient Germanic peoples. Grønbech was a professor of the history of religion at the University of Copenhagen in the early twentieth century. Grønbech looks at Norse, Lombardic, Anglo-Saxon, Gothic and Roman sources to identify a common Teutonic culture focused on luck, honour, shame, kinship, and a unique perspective on the afterlife and the soul. My review includes favourite quotes from volume 1 of the two part book republished by Antelope Hill.
