I am seeking advice on discernment in this question. I grew up loving reading fantasy literature such as Tolkein, Lewis, and even Rowling, Riordan and Paolini. I've also come to the conclusion that Norse mythology, has sories that I've heard before that fascinate me, and I enjoy them. I've wanted to read some of the earliest written works that are the basis of the mythology, such as the poetic/prose eddas. My uneasiness comes from the fact that these stories are some of the direct sources of Germanic paganism. To get to the point, since I would be reading them from the viewpoint of fantasy like the aforementioned authors, my question is:
Is there anything wrong with enjoying mythology through the lense of fantasy as a follower of Christ?
Thanks you!
