Lars Magnar Enoksen (born 1960 in Malmö) is a Swedish writer and Glima [citation needed] wrestler.
Enoksen was born in Malmö in 1960 to a Swedish mother and Norwegian father.[citation needed] As an author, he has written extensively on runes and Nordic mythology,[1] although as a popular rather than academic writer. His work has received very varied reviews and critique from academics and experts in Old Norse studies and runology; while Runor: Historia, tydning, tolkning (~Runes:History, deciphering, interpretation) is described by Professor Henrik Williams [2] as the best introduction to runology written in Swedish,[3] later works like Runor: Mästarens handbok (~Runes, the Master's handbook) was reviewed by Williams as riddled with mistakes and errors that range from simplifications to the directly misleading.[4]
Lars_Lönnroth claims the books Djur och natur i fornnordisk mytologi (~Animals and nature in Norse mythology) and Vikingarnas egna ord ( In the Viking's own words), while certainly presenting fascinating myths and traditions on the way to be forgotten in a vivid and enthusiastic manner, are written entirely without insight of the modern research in the field as well as a lack of source criticism [5] and national romantic thinking derived from the 1900s.[6] Stefanie von Schnurbein wrote of Norrøne guder og myter[7] (2008) that: "we can find all the methodologically and historically problematic assumptions that had already vexed Germanophile scholarship in the 1930s and earlier, as well as feminist spirituality later on: The questionable idea that myth mirrors social structures, a lack of source criticism, unsupportable theories of continuity between pre-historic past and present society, not to mention the unfounded claims about the superiority of goddesses in the Norse pantheon."[8]
In 2000, he was awarded the Lengertz Literature Award (Lengertz litteraturpris),[9] which is awarded to authors who write on subjects relevant to Scania.
