80 GOTW: Nehalennia author Gunivortus Goos

Gifts of the Wyrd

Author Gunivortus Goos joins me to talk about the long awaited (by me especially) English translation of his book on Nehalennia. The book is avaialable in German, Dutch, and now English. The English title is: Nehalennia: Divine Lady of Prosperity, Trade and Safe Crossings. It is now available via Amazon throughout the world and in Europe on BoD Buchshop.

Nehalennia is a Dutch Goddess who was revered and honored in the area controlled by the Romans of the first - second centuries in what is now the southern west coast of the Netherlands. After that time, Nehalennia was lost to the oceans and time and evidence was literally fished up in the 17th century in the form of votive stones, revealing an acitive practice of honoring her.

Goos and I talk about Nehalennia, a bit about her origins, about the process of researching and bringing the information together for the book, and about bringing in into an English version.

The book has minor updates of new finds and information not in the German or Dutch editions. Goos has many other books available on a variety of Gods, Goddesses, and topics which you can find more about at his website Boudicca. There you can find books in German and Dutch as well as other essays. Many are available via Amazon or in Europe via BoD.

Goos has been on the podcast before to talk about his works: Mist Witches (episode 59) and Frau Holle and Germanic Magic (episode 41).

If you want to learn more of the history that we know of about this obscure Dutch Goddess who now has a devoted following, have a listen and order the book.
