Wärend and Wirdarne. An attempt at Swedish Ethnology was published in two volumes in 1863 and 1868 by the folklorist Gunnar Olof Hyltén-Cavallius. It is considered to be his most important work and deals with folklore in Värend in southern Småland. In this first volume, Hyltén-Cavallius deals with, among other things, remnants of pagan cults and beliefs, which is why the work is often cited as evidence that the asatron, in a distorted form, has survived into modern times. The work was republished in 1921-1922 and 1972.
The .mobi and .epub files contain both volumes and were digitised by The Internet Archive. Eventually, Project Allmogen will improve the formatting.
