Download or read book Holy Thor written by Sandra Hill and published by Sandra Hill Books. This book was released on 2022-11-23 with total page 1199 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Viking Navy Seals? What an odd combination! Well, Holy Thor! Not really: — The ancient Vikings and modern SEALs are both noted for their fighting skills. — They love boats and the water can anyone say longships and the Navy?). — Both are known to be buff of body and uncommonly attractive (Women from foreign countries were known to invite the Vikings to their bed furs because they were so tempting. Or was it because they bathed more often than the average man?). — They share a rare sense of humor, the ability to laugh at themselves, as evidenced by the old sagas. — Loyalty to family and country abounds. Sandra Hill, with her trademark humor and sizzle, combines both cultures via contemporary time travels where centuries-separated lovers are brought together in outrageous miracles of destiny. Rough and Ready She’s rough...he’s ready...together, they’re a match.... In Rough and Ready, a group of Navy SEALs under the leadership of Lt. Torolf Magnusson accidentally find themselves back in the eleventh century Norselands in a woman's sanctuary where they fight off a vicious "terrorist" named Steinolf, as well as the women themselves, who want babies without the men (think Dark Age one-night stands, which amuse and offend the horny but honorable men). Torolf manages to return to the future, but, again, accidentally, he brings a reluctant Hilda Brundottir back with him and has no choice but to place her in his home in a biker trailer park named Hog Heaven. Down and Dirty When a hot Navy SEAL...meets a reluctant Viking warrior-ess...sparks fly! Down and Dirty has Navy SEAL Frank "Pretty Boy" Floyd facing a two-edged sword, a five-year-old, half-Arab son he never knew existed, the affectionately called Sammy the Snot, and Britta the Big, an ancient Viking warrioress that Floyd had met in that weird trip back to the past in Rough and Ready. Viking Unchained When destiny demands two time-crossed lovers must meet... Tears and laughter abound in Viking Unchained where the grief-stricken Viking Thorfinn Ericsson goes searching for his missing son Miklof and finds him a thousand years in the future with little Mike Denton, the son of Navy SEAL widow Lydia Denton, an aerobics instructor.

Download or read book Gods Heroes Kings written by Christopher R. Fee and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2004-03-18 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The islands of Britain have been a crossroads of gods, heroes, and kings-those of flesh as well as those of myth-for thousands of years. Successive waves of invasion brought distinctive legends, rites, and beliefs. The ancient Celts displaced earlier indigenous peoples, only to find themselves displaced in turn by the Romans, who then abandoned the islands to Germanic tribes, a people themselves nearly overcome in time by an influx of Scandinavians. With each wave of invaders came a battle for the mythic mind of the Isles as the newcomer's belief system met with the existing systems of gods, legends, and myths. In Gods, Heroes, and Kings, medievalist Christopher Fee and veteran myth scholar David Leeming unearth the layers of the British Isles' unique folkloric tradition to discover how this body of seemingly disparate tales developed. The authors find a virtual battlefield of myths in which pagan and Judeo-Christian beliefs fought for dominance, and classical, Anglo-Saxon, Germanic, and Celtic narrative threads became tangled together. The resulting body of legends became a strange but coherent hybrid, so that by the time Chaucer wrote "The Wife of Bath's Tale" in the fourteenth century, a Christian theme of redemption fought for prominence with a tripartite Celtic goddess and the Arthurian legends of Sir Gawain-itself a hybrid mythology. Without a guide, the corpus of British mythology can seem impenetrable. Taking advantage of the latest research, Fee and Leeming employ a unique comparative approach to map the origins and development of one of the richest folkloric traditions. Copiously illustrated with excerpts in translation from the original sources,Gods, Heroes, and Kings provides a fascinating and accessible new perspective on the history of British mythology.

Download or read book Pagan Portals Thor written by Morgan Daimler and published by John Hunt Publishing. This book was released on 2020-03-27 with total page 97 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Thor is an immensely popular God but also one of contradictions, whose complexity is sometimes underrated. Often depicted as oafish, he was clever enough to outwit the dwarf Alviss (All-wise). A god of storms and thunder, he brought fertility and blessed brides at weddings and although a defender of civilization and order, he usually travelled with a trickster deity. Pagan Portals - Thor is an introductory book that examines both history and mythology, untangling older beliefs from modern pop-culture.

Download or read book Thor written by Martin Arnold and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2011-06-02 with total page 122 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The myths of the Norse god Thor were preserved in the Icelandic Eddas, set down in the early Middle Ages. The bane of giants and trolls, Thor was worshipped as the last line of defence against all that threatened early Nordic society. Thor's significance persisted long after the Christian conversion and, in the mid-eighteenth century, Thor resumed a symbolic prominence among northern countries. Admired and adopted in Scandinavia and Germany, he became central to the rhetoric of national romanticism and to more belligerent assertions of nationalism. Resurrected in the latter part of the twentieth century in Marvel Magazine, Thor was further transformed into an articulation both of an anxious male sexuality and of a parallel nervousness regarding American foreign policy. Martin Arnold explores the extraordinary regard in which Thor has been held since medieval times and considers why and how his myth has been adopted, adapted and transformed.
