The Australian community, like others that share a predominantly Western culture, is indebted to the conceptual world of pre-Christian Nordic religions for many fundamental ideas, artistic and literary expressions and significant misconceptions: consider the fantasies of Tolkien, the significance of naming a boat Loki in the 2008 Sydney-to-Hobart yacht race, and the underlying ideology of Nazism. This project will reveal our community's general debt to Nordic religions through a study of how people have understood and used them from the Middle Ages until now, thereby revealing one of our culture's major influences.

与其他以西方文化为主的社会一样，澳大利亚社会也受益于前基督教北欧宗教的概念世界，产生了许多基本思想、艺术和文学表达以及重大误解：想想托尔金的幻想、2008年悉尼至霍巴特帆船赛中将一艘船命名为洛基的意义，以及纳粹主义的潜在意识形态。该项目将通过研究人们从中世纪至今如何理解和使用北欧宗教，揭示我们社区对北欧宗教的普遍亏欠，从而揭示我们文化的主要影响之一。
