I'm tapping into my ancestral roots (Denmark and Sweden).
The Poetic Edda, translated and edited by Jackson Crawford.

Fascinating and surprising so far. I watch Crawford's channel in parrallel with my readings, to add further context and reflection on the passages.
Next up is a translation of Beowulf (recommended by Crawford). The translator is Dick Ringler (the child in me always chuckles when I see that name). Again a translation in common, non-pretentious English for people like me who aren't scholars.
