Elves, Wights and Trolls explores the relationship between the small beings throughout the Nordic region and their relationship with both humans and gods alike. From the small beings that dwell in rocks and plants to the large giants that formed strong relationships with the gods, Elves, Wights and Trolls contains a wealth of knowledge on the original views of these beings and how modern practitioners can form sacred relationships within the confines of today's modern civilazation. The book includes an original translation by Gundarsson of a rare skaldic poem known as the Berg-Dwellers Song in which a giant relays the tale of his own folk and thier pention for world-faring.
Margerite von Hirschenberg, daughter of a poor knight, is courted and wedded by Graf Ruprecht von Falkenstein, a handsome young man far above her own station. But she soon finds that her idyllic marriage is not so perfect as it seems. Most of Ruprecht's servants and vassals are oddly frightened of him; the household accounts are in bad disarray; and Margerite is badly unnerved by Bertram, the ominous captain of Ruprecht's guard, who seems to dislike her. Soon Ruprecht declares an illegal feud against his closest neighbor, Graf Heinrich, hiring a Free Company of mercenaries for the battle.
The conclusion of the triology. With war finally arriving, Margerite works to protect her son while staving off multiple forces internally/externally. The visions grow stronger and the strange dreams bring clarity to her true path and the answers of whom she truly married.
"...occasionally it hits me that I'm carrying the names of two people who seem to have experienced more pain than joy during their brief time above ground, and a less optimistic person than I might consider themselves cursed to carry such a couple's names, but I've always seen it as an honor, a chance for redemption, an inspiration to cultivate as much joy and adventure and kindness as possible, no matter how much time I'm given."Leaving the House Unlocked turns trauma into a chance for healing. It is a reminder to reflect, accept, never forget, but also not let what happened then define you as a person now. Elizabeth "Liz" Enochs invites readers in to tour through some of her most intimate memories. She revisits moments with ex-lovers, close and distant family members, and old friends. Her compelling honesty allows us to explore family and personal identity as well as acknowledge parts of the past-whether good or bad-that helped shape her as an individual.Through personal essays written entirely out of single-sentence prose, she questions when nostalgia becomes grief and remembers when life was cruel and when it was forgiving. Enochs also uses this collection to raise awareness on issues concerning animal welfare, environmentalism, and sexual violence.
