Witch Kings and Bone Lords: Necromancers in Saga and Legend

Witch Kings and Bone Lords: Necromancers in Saga and Legend by Tobias Wolfsberg leads readers into the haunted heart of Norse and Germanic tradition, where death is not an end but a doorway. From rune-carved swords buried in ancient barrows to saga scenes of warriors calling the dead, Wolfsberg explores the eerie, powerful figures who stood between worlds-necromancers, seers, and bone-lords remembered in whispers and fear. Drawing from medieval texts, archaeological finds, and Icelandic grimoires, this book uncovers the rituals, beliefs, and mythic archetypes that shaped the Northern imagination of death and the beyond.

Ideal for readers of mythology, pagan spirituality, and ancient magic, Witch Kings and Bone Lords offers a gripping and scholarly account of how the dead were honored, feared, and summoned. With evocative prose and deep reverence for ancestral tradition, Wolfsberg traces the legacy of these liminal figures whose voices still echo from mound and memory.

Join Tobias Wolfsberg in this descent through legend and lore, where barrow-fires flicker, runes whisper on stone, and the path of the necromancer unfolds in shadow and song.
