Stephen Edred Flowers-Archaic Germanic-Psychology
This article is concerned with the structure of ancient Germanic soul conceptions and represents an attempt to establish semantic fields for the terms involved, as well as a tentative effort to determine their structural relationship. It is concluded that at least the core elements of the common Germanic psyche were probably conceived of as a three-fold structure of 1) a breath concept, 2) an emotive
faculty and 3) a cognitive faculty.
