***
Have the ancient Gods and the mythical world disappeared, or is it we humans who have lost sight of them? Can we still catch sight of ourselves in the technologically enframed metropolis? What the Gods have Left, based on the private journals of Askr Svarte and presented in the form of a pocket-sized quotebook, dwells on the metaphysical and existential questions that beset lone pagans at the end of the present cosmic cycle.
