Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. Drawing on an exceptionally broad range of sources - including Tacitus, Old Norse sagas, heroic legend, folklore, and comparative Indo-European material - Dr. Lily Weiser reconstructs the religious, social, and psychological foundations of youth initiations and maennerbuende. She situates Ge…rmanic practices within the wider context of global rites of passage, tracing themes of death and rebirth, liminality, ecstatic transformation, animal symbolism, masking, and the formation of warrior elites. Particular attention is given to berserkers, wolf and bear warriors, secret leagues of young men, and their gradual transformation under changing social, legal, and religious conditions. What distinguishes this work is its methodological seriousness. Weiser balances comparative folklore with close attention to Germanic cultural conditions, avoiding speculation while illuminating patterns that later scholars - most notably Otto Hoefler and Neil Price - would build upon. Her analysis reveals how deeply embedded initiation rites and warrior associations were in Germanic religion, myth, and social structure, and how their remnants persisted long after their original institutional forms had faded. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

TRANSLATED BY TOM BILLINGEThis edition marks the first complete English translation of the work, rendered with care and precision by Tom Billinge and published by Sanctus Arya Press. It restores a long-neglected classic to its rightful place in the study of Indo-European religion, Germanic antiquity, and comparative folklore, making an essential scholarly text available to a new generation of readers for the first time. Initiation Rites of Young Men and Male Warrior Brotherhoods in Early Germanic Culture is a foundational work of early twentieth-century scholarship that has, until now, remained inaccessible to English-language readers. Originally published in German in 1927 under the title Altgermanische Juenglingsweihen und Maennerbuende, this study by Lily Weiser stands among the most rigorous and influential examinations of initiation, age-grades, and warrior brotherhoods in the ancient Germanic world.
