I myself learned a lot about both Bestla and Gunnlod. Highly recommended.             Wyrd Wravings: An Anthology of Humorous Speculative Fiction1 review Candace Sams, Kfir Luzzatto, ... Echelon Press, 2003 An unusual & surprisingly good anthology I purchased this anthology on a whim because I generally like Candace Sams. What a pleasant surprise this book turned out to be! Sams was the only author of the 10 stories that I had heard of but I will be keeping my eye out for several others. Margaret Bailey's "A Measly Bottle of Oxygen" describes a world where oxygen is rationed and plant neglect is a crime. In "Suki", by Ellen Dawn ...             The Woven Path (Tales from the Wyrd Museum S.)13 reviews Robin Jarvis Collins, 1995 Amazing A must read!!! If they made a movie out of this, it would probably outsell Lord of the Rings or Star Wars. It keeps you on the edge of your seat and you simply can NOT put it down. If you like books with mystery, action, comedy, horror, drama, romance or ANYTHING of everything all three of the Wyrd Museum books deliver and keep you wanting more!!!             Knight's Wyrd15 reviews Debra Doyle, James D. MacDonald Jane Yolen Books, 1992 It's a wonderful "Wyrd" Wizards, knights, ogres and mermaids -- a typical fantasy tale, right? Wrong! Debra Doyle and James MacDonald take a typical sword'n'sorcery tale (heavier on the swords) and spin it into a slam-bang adventure tale that will definitely cause thrills and chills for both kids and adults. In one of the dukedoms of Anglia, young William is about to be knighted, which is theoretically one of the best ...             Wyrd Sisters78 reviews Terry Pratchett CORGI BOOKS (TWLD), 1011 Shakespearatchett Terry Pratchett has created an entirely ridiculous and enjoyable world with his Discworld novels. It is a world peopled by the inhabitants of fantasy and science fiction, with events not often too far removed from what happens in the 'real' world. Yet Pratchett's writing seems to be at its strongest when he is working from other sources and not from his uniquely own material. Such is the case ...             Luthiel's Song: Dreams of the Ringed Vale37 reviews Robert Fanney Dark Forest Press, 2005 Book One It is First Summer's Eve. Every year the elves celebrate as the black moon's shadow fades from the world. It also happens to be Luthiel's fifteenth birthday. Luthiel's sister, Leowin, gives her a rare and magical Wyrd Stone. Luthiel is reluctant to accept it since Leowin stole it from a dark sorcerer. Yet Leowin insists that the stone belongs to her. Luthiel had been found, abandoned, as an ...             The Way of Wyrd12 reviews Brian Bates Hay House, 2005 All roads lead to the same place I am so glad to see this book back in print. I first read it years ago and have loaned to to many folks along the way. It explores the differences AND similarities that Paganism and Christianity share. And with a little creative imagination you can draw the same parelells with other religions. The transformation of the lead character from an uptight closed minded theocrat to a person that can ...             The Way of Wyrd: Tales of an Anglo-Saxon Sorcerer7 reviews Brian Bates HarperSanFrancisco, 1983 Anglo-Saxon Spiritual Quest This book really is one of those works that you have to read, whatever your path. It is like a cross between the style of Carlos Castaneda with J.R.R. Tolkien, set in the context of Anglo-Saxon Britain. Within this wonderful work of fiction is presented a detailed insight into the worldview and magick of the Anglo-Saxon sorceror, working within the web of wyrd and acting as part of the ...             Wyrd Sisters (Starring Three Witches, also kings, daggers, crowns, storms, dwarfs, cats, Ghosts, Spectres, ...1 review Terry Pratchett RoC, 1988 "Thys ys amain Dainty Messe youe have got me into, Stanleigh..." Although "Wyrd Sisters" (1988) isn't Terry Pratchett's first Discworld novel about witches (that honor belongs to "Equal Rites" (1987)), it is where Granny Weatherwax , Nanny Ogg , and Magrat Garlick first come together as a coven. You could think of this book as the fantasy version of Shakespeare's "MacBeth" (with a bit of "Hamlet" thrown in), as written from the viewpoint of the witches. ...             Raven's Knot4 reviews Robin Jarvis HARPER COLL CHILDREN, 2002 The Raven's Knot (Tales From The Wyrd Museum) This book was enthralling and to one new to Robin Jarvis, the quality of his writing is astounding, this book is a must for anyone who enjoys something a little quirky, I loved it almost as much as his series "The Deptford Mice". I have not yet read the first book and i am currently looking for it because of the excellent quality. Robin Jarvis is such an acomplished author that i feel that ...             At the Well of Wyrd: A Handbook of Runic Divination2 reviews Edred Thorsson Red Wheel Weiser, 1988 The Foremost Authorative Work on Runic Divination Today Edred Thorsson, Phd. is the Yrmin-Drighten (Grandmaster) of the Rune Gild (Gild is the archaic spelling of Guild). He founded the Rune Gild in 1980, and has spent over a quarter of a century dedicated to the remanifestation of the Elder Runic Tradition. In "At the Well of Wyrd", Thorsson adresses the techniques of Runic Divination from the most traditional perspective, providing examples of ...             The Fatal Strand3 reviews Robin Jarvis Troll Communications, 1999 One thrilling end to a fantastic trilogy After reading the first two I was expecting much of this book and Robin Jarvis has provided the best of the three. This is one exciting read, Neil returns from Glastonbury with Edie and the late Miss Veronica Webster's body only to find another more chalenging adventure waiting for him. A strange ghost hunter who he met in the previous installment has been invited into the wyrd museum and as soon ...             Divine Comedy of Neophyte Corax and Goddess Morrigan1 review Payam Nabarz 'Web of Wyrd Press' an imprint of Becs-Ltd (Bear E, 2008 raven review! A very deep, funny and clever play involving the complicated relationship between the goddess and her reincarnating raven, and cheerfully exploring all the mythologies which have played through the history of the British Isles: Mithraic and Druidic and Christian, Norse and Shamanic and Qabalistic, Thelemic and Vodou and Tantric. Mystery plays once edified the illiterate populace, today we have ...             Voluspa: Seidhr as Wyrd Consciousness18 reviews Yngona Desmond BookSurge Publishing, 2006 Free Will This book has opened up a whole new understanding, a whole new world to me personally! I truly believe, had I not taken the time to read the lore, I would not have had the understanding of what this most unique woman has put in writing (truly amazing). Since, I have spent countless hours reading and learning the lore this book was more than amazing; it was one I could not put down! I ...             Runecaster's Handbook: The Well of Wyrd10 reviews Edred Thorsson Weiser Books, 1999 The best book on Rune divination you will find You will not find a better book on the topic on Rune readings and Rune divination. One reviewer below me was so bold as to give this book 1 star, and then praise Ralph Blum. HA ! Mr. Blum has done more to harm the Runic Revival than he has done to help. This is a highly recommended book to anyone serious about Runes or Runic divination.             Capes & Cowls: Adventures in Wyrd City1 review Robin Spriggs Wyrd House, 2006 A component review This is a review of the components only as I am yet to play a game but having read the rules it looks like it will be a great game.
