Also, I'm not sure if you would have read any of Isobelle Carmody but she likewise has some different takes on the fantasy genre such as the Obernewtyn Chronicles and various stand-alones.
Good luck finding something you like

The Emberverse series follows different groups of people in western Oregon after "The Change" a worldwide event that started with a flash of light and made it to where electricity doesn't work anymore, nor gunpowder or any kind of fast combustion.One of the groups of survivors if founded around a Wiccan coven.
Its a great series dealing with how people react to having modern knowledge but 1400's level technology.
The Dresden Files has a lot of mythology and folklore, mostly celtic, but some germanic later on, it follows the wizard/detective in modern day Chicago.

Another good one is Spirit's Princess by Esther Friesner, which is based on Japanese mythology and did a wonderful job of pulling me into third-century Japan and bringing the setting to life. I couldn't put it down!
I recommend both of these.
