Author Description

This workbook is an anthology of sorts; and by compiling it, I am simply a guide or Sherpa if you will, bringing you gathered knowledge from all over which I hope will make this trek into the wilderness easier, more effectual, and productive. I wish anyone reading this to realize I am NOT trying to assume the role of an authority figure or scholar. I do not intend to become your 'teacher', as much as I am simply your guide. I view myself as a Sacred Sherpa, because I know this trail well, and I vow while you are under my care that I will show you the trails that I have found best for ease of travel. I will show you how to make fire, gather food, and make shelter, as you fare forth. I will even carry your gear and administer first aid along the trail up the mountain, if that's what you require. But the most assured way to have a successful expedition is through the troop with whom we are exploring. Your climbing partners-including the many voices of wisdom which have come before me, as an anthologist-are just as crucial as your Sherpa. The Gods of Old encourage everyone to Take the Edda's and the Sagas, with all the lore of the ancients and our Ancestors and make them their own; by reading them, telling them, and then visiting all the 9 Worlds, while getting to know some of the beings who reside there. Hail to my Seiðr and Völva kith, who have viewed Yggdrasil in time honored ways, then brought those visions back to aid our Kindred. I am honored to have been blessed with a glimpse of those places; and to report back what I have found.
