Alchemy and the Volsung Saga - Paul Ferguson - 02-21-2026
"The purpose of this essay is to offer an account of the hidden meaning of the Volsung Saga (Völsunga saga). In drawing out this meaning, I will approach the saga from a Traditionalist standpoint, broadly speaking; i.e., from the standpoint of Guénon and Evola. I will touch on some details concerning the relation of the saga to other sources, but I do not aim to provide anything like the sort of account a historian or philologist might give."

For more specifically alchemical references, see part xv onwards:

but the whole text is well worth reading.
