In his introduction to "The Well of Remembrance, "author Ralph
Metzner provides a telling explanation of the theme of his work:
"This book explores some of the mythic roots of the Western
worldview, the worldview of the culture that, for better and worse,
has come to dominate most of the rest of the world's peoples. This
domination has involved not only economic and political systems but
also values, basic attitudes, religious beliefs, language,
scientific understanding, and technological applications. Many
individuals, tribes, and nations are struggling to free themselves
from the residues of the ideological oppression practiced by what
they see as Eurocentric culture. They seek to define their own
ethnic or national identities by referring to ancestral traditions
and mythic patterns of knowledge. At this time, it seems
appropriate for Europeans and Euro-Americans likewise to probe
their own ancestral mythology for insight and self-understanding."
Focusing on the mythology and worldview of the pre-Christian
Germanic tribes of Northern Europe, Metzner offers a meaningful
exploration of Western ancestry.
