Thanks to your books I have found something I can identify with. Being of Saxon decent I suppose I was looking for something I felt may be lost in time, but your information struck a cord. Many thanks for a great website, and always looking forward to your posts. Interesting points. Thanks to your books I have found something I can identify with.

]]> Comment on My Dear Lord by Kristine Dice http://www.alaricalbertsson.com/blog/?p=148&cpage=1#comment-2391 Kristine Dice Fri, 02 Sep 2011 02:03:56 +0000 http://www.alaricalbertsson.com/blog/?p=148#comment-2391 Alaric, your story of Lord Ing brought tears to my eyes, and not only because I sensed the depths of your feelings, but because yours are very similar to my own. I have been searching for so long, and traveled down so many dead end roads. Now, nearing the end of my days I finally find that the Gods for whom I have searched so long are the same ones my mother told be about as a small child. I thought her stories were just that, stories for children, for how could such magnificent beings ever have been real? I have spent the year since my retirement reading as much as I could about many different pantheons. I found nothing until I found your Travels Through Middle Earth, and The Path of a Saxon Sorcerer: Wyrdworking. Thank you for writing these books, which I sincerely hope will be just the beginning of your writing career!

Have just started on Travels Through Middle-Earth for the second time - what a great book, thank you! As well as being Anglo Saxon Pagan I'm also active in Druidry (OBOD) so I appreciate what you say about that....people needn't be worried about it being a strange and foreign path, and I hope you all have a great time..... Wassail David Have a great time Alaric.

]]> Comment on The importance of Híredwist by Mike English http://www.alaricalbertsson.com/blog/?p=118&cpage=1#comment-2383 Mike English Sat, 19 Mar 2011 12:25:35 +0000 http://www.alaricalbertsson.com/blog/?p=118#comment-2383 For more than a decade, I focused my relationships on trying to connect with other pagans. Once a year we would have a - usually dramatic - outburst and falling out. It's only now when I share celebrations with friends (including some non-pagans) that it feels more stable. The important thing is sharing with people you care about, not necessarily strangers that use the same self identifying religious term...so I completely agree with Alaric's points.

Haven't read your book yet, but I'm planning on purchasing it within the next week or so and also looking forward to your next one!
