This lexicon of Germanic deities fills a gap in its branch. It introduces goddesses and gods of Germanic peoples in the form of a lexicon. These are names of deities in inscriptions from Roman times, as well as deities from mostly medieval literary works from Iceland and Scandinavia, and goddesses and gods that are mentioned only in sources of later times, where the gathered collection of folk tales from the Renaissance on plays an important role. The quality of these sources varies greatly, all have their shortcomings and leave many questions unanswered.
Regardless, this lexicon tries to explain all this as good as possible ... unambiguously and critically. The longer introductory chapter plays a central role in classifying and evaluating the provided information.

Biographie de Gunivortus Goos

Gunivortus Goos previously published quite a few books and articles under his meanwhile given-up pseudonym GardenStone. Born in the city of Groningen, he is a Dutch, who some decades ago left his hometown and country and moved to Germany, where he, after several stations, now lives in a small town in the beautiful Taunus Hills in the German state of Hesse. Guus' (that's how his friends call him) 'addiction' is the research of specific historical topics of his personal interest, within which he is always eagerly looking for primary sources and related views and experiences of scholarly or practicing people, which he also uses to develop his own opinions. In his writings his concern is not to only reproduce current views, but also to stimulate the reader to form his or her own opinion.
For the same reason, where possible, he also includes controversial representations.
