You may leave a note for me on the scroll attached to the entrance door at any time, if you so wish. However, before you set out again, please consider:

"When the winter winds blow and the Yule fires are lit, from the north of Scandinavia down to Switzerland, it is best to stay indoors, safely shut away from the dark forest paths and the wild heaths. Those who wander out by themselves during the Yule-nights may hear a sudden rustling through the tops of the trees -- a rustling that might be the wind, though the rest of the wood is still. But then the barking of dogs fills the air, with the hunters behind whooping "Wod! Wod!" A man's voice cries from above, "Midden in dem Weg!" and the host of wild souls sweeps down, fire flashing from the eyes of the black hounds and hooves of the black horses."

[from: "The Folklore of the Wild Hunt and the Furious Host" by Kveldulf Hagen Gundarsson]

Under "Articles" below, you will also find some of my poetry and academic essays, if you care for that sort of thing. Please realize that I'm an English Literature & Religious Studies major. Critical analysis is what I do. There may be opinions and interpretations in my articles that disquiet you or offend your beliefs. Please keep this in mind if you decide to read any of them.
