    I am a big mythology person. Most of music references either Old Norse or Saxon mythology with a few Polish cultural aspects as well.
    I particularly like the band Nile and their take on Egyptian mythology with an influence of H.P Lovecraft involved.

    This is a concept death metal album from the 80s that is based on the novel The Way Of Wyrd by Brian Bates. It's a story about a Christian monk who lived in the 10th century in England, and talks about wizards and stuff. It's apparently based on real transcripts unearthed by historians that suggest wizardy was a real part of our ancestry. There is a factual sequal to this novel that talks about it, all but I have yet to get my hads on a copy. I have the novel but didn't get far through it, I might try it again. In fact, I'm going to go on a retreat soon for a few days and take this book and read it, get away from general life and the internet for a while.

    Kathleen Herbert draws a link between the mythical figure Beowa (a figure stemming from Anglo-Saxon paganism that appears in early Anglo-Saxon royal genealogies whose name means "barley") and the figure of John Barleycorn. Herbert says that Beowa and Barleycorn are one and the same, noting that the folksong details the suffering, death, and resurrection of Barleycorn, yet also celebrates the "reviving effects of drinking his blood."[2]​

    The Sandman is a mythical character in central and northern European folklore who brings good dreams by sprinkling magical sand onto the eyes of people while they sleep at night.​
