—— INSPIRED BY THE NORSE MYTHS ——
DESCRIPTION
Life is fragile. Regimes can crumble in an instant. And it is in the darkest places that one finds the strength to rebuild.
Echoing the strength and valor of the heathen path, these poems journey to mountaintop halls where the Old Gods reign, to the rolling hills of the land spirits, and down to where the ancestors dwell in Helheim. Bone Dust hails the fortitude of the human spirit. Winter has arrived in the soul. Here lie the fires of magick.

“This collection has an ancient, primal feeling...such an astounding way with words.”

and it ended up being a fitting setting for the dark and wintry poetry.”

QUOTE
I knew in my bones this life was not mine
yet I fought the reaper when he came for it.
Leave it — the hooded one urged.
And this time, I listened.
