The Goddess Idunn (also Iðunn, Idun, Idunna) is commonly known as the Goddess of youth and custodian of the Apples of Immortality – the apples that grant the Gods of the Norse pantheon continued renewal and eternal youth. Her best known, and only, myth details how she was abducted by a giant and how the Gods fought hard to retrieve her (and her much-needed apples). Beyond this, one must dig very deep to excavate any further information about her. This introductory book outlines everything we know about Idunn from historical sources, as well as what we – her modern devotees – have learnt from experiencing her in the modern day.

Dr Olivia Church (she/her) is an ancient historian and Egyptologist, who has been on a polytheistic Pagan and Witchcraft path since she was 13 years old. These days she predominantly practices Inclusive Heathenry, though she also maintains strong relationships with deities from the ancient Mediterranean and Egypt, and this is reflected in her published books. A portion of royalties gained through the sale of her books are always donated to charitable causes in Egypt, giving back to the people whose culture has inspired her work and life. Olivia lives in the UK with her partner and their cat, and spends most of her free time writing, reading, watching horror movies, and listening to heavy metal.
