Reaktywacja nordyckich bogów

Abstract

Reactivation of the Norse Gods. Neopaganism as a Form of Collective Memory The article addresses the issue of neopaganism reviving intensively in the Nordic countries at the beginning of the 21st century. By using examples from Denmark and Iceland the author analyses socio-cultural conditions and intercultural relations that enhance reactivation of the Norse gods. Neopaganism with its Nordic face seems to offer an attractive alternative for contemporary secularized societies which still express inclination to believe in power of the nature, power of the human mind or power of the markets.
