Books By Norse Pagans?

[jonb]

Germanic writing without christian influence would be written in runes, and as the runes were mainly used as general reminders, what was written of the gods was just a sort of extreme shorthand version of a commonly known and spoken story. The culture passed on its knowledge in poetry, so we can presume there were commonly know poems and we find with some runic inscriptions that it seems they may have just written down the first letter of each line of a poem. At least that was how it was explained to me.
