Gaut's Descendants: Gothic Religion and Culture in Germania
explores the religion and culture of the Goths and the Gothic
influence on other Germanic tribes. Some of the topics examined
include: the gods and goddesses of the Goths; the rituals and magic
of the Goths; Gaut, the founding father god of the Goths, his
surviving myths and his cult of sacral kingship; the various
influences that contributed to the synthesis of Gothic religion and
culture; the nature of Gothic Christianity and survivals of Gothic
heathenry in Christian times; how the Migration Age layer of
Germanic mythology differed from the more well-known Viking Age
layer of Germanic mythology; how the Goths contributed to Germanic
mystical and religious concepts preserved in the Eddas such as the
differences between the Aesir and Vanir gods; the substantial
influence of the Goths on the legend and poetry of the rest of the
Germanic world, especially in Viking Age Scandinavia and
Anglo-Saxon England.
