The Duergarbok: The Dwarves of the Northern Tradition
For those of you who have been saying I ought to write a book… I did! I’m excited to announce the publication of “The Duergarbok: The Dwarves of the Northern Tradition”. The Duergar play a significant role in Norse and Germanic lore as the legendary creators of Thor’s hammer, Odin’s spear and Brísingamen, the fabled necklace of Freya. Known for their extraordinary craftsmanship and cunning, the Duergar are also familiar to us from folklore and popular culture. In addition to describing my own working relationship with these remarkable Beings, “The Duergarbok” offers a rich anecdotal exploration of Duergar lore, values and culture through the songs, poems, and tales contributed by contemporary Heathens and practitioners of the northern tradition, and would prove meaningful to any creative individual seeking a deeper connection to their art. Illustrated with photos of Duergar-inspired creations, the chapters include:
- Who are the Duergar?
- The World of the Duergar
- Duergar Culture
- Honoring Andvari
- Making as Sacred Art
- The Great Makers
- The Duergar in our Lives

Reviews for “The Duergarbok”
“The Duergarbok: The Dwarves of the Northern Tradition, is a treasure chest of information about the little known denizens of the underworld who provide so much art and craftsmanship to the worlds of Deities and Humans. Well written, well researched, inspiring, spiritual, informative – it covers lore, insights, personal stories, and even poetry and music. Recommended read for anyone interested in lore or craftsmanship.”
– Susa. M. Black
“I recommend Duergarbok to absolutely every Norse pagan and really anyone who wants to know spirits with deep earth-knowledge. The Duergar in their very culture have so many of the cures for our society. The Duergar are true spiritual materialists, working soul and love into their creations. Loving and honoring the earth who provides those materials. Respecting the spirit of the craftsman and the object. I could go on and on but you’ll have to read the book to see why I hope mankind can reconnect with the Duergar and reap their wisdom to heal our world.” – Bea S.
