Thanks for the recommendations guys - I'm a bit buried in other reading just now, but I'll keep track of that list and get started on the subject when I have a chance. It's been a while since I did any reading on Norse mythology, so I figure I'll start with going over the Eddas again, then hit up one of the 101 books and go on from there.
Speaking of 101 books - any thoughts on Teutonic Myth and Legend by Donald Mackenzie? I grabbed it on kindle when it popped up cheap in the recommendations, but didn't have time to do more than browse it quickly.

'The Path of Illumination'
he who gives himself to this path
is like a block of wood
that gives itself to the chisel-
cut by cut it is honed to perfection"
- DDJ, Verse 27
"It's still magic even if you know how it's done." - Terry Pratchett
