Fairies are real. Or they ought to be, at least, according to Madame Bel Carmen's best hypotheses. Her problem, however, is that after searching the world over for the lore to prove it, she hasn't uncovered anything that someone didn't already know. Out of options, she knows her only chance to prove the existence of the Fae is to find someone who's met them, and she's just heard tell of a reclusive scholar who has reportedly done just that. This folklorist is more than just withdrawn; she's nowhere, an academic ghost known only by a few obscure writings. So, with the help of the Hearthcraft Society of Massachusetts - a local pagan association - and its most skeptical member, Ms. Alice Guthrie, Madam Bel Carmen thus sets out and finds Somerset Sayer, the incomparable scholar of fae-kind, and her proof. But her proof is nothing short of insane. In the span of an afternoon, on a walk that should have taken them first from one room to another, and then down the street, Madam Bel Carmen and Alice Guthrie find that they've traversed the entire New England coastline and crossed an ocean to set foot on the grounds of Stonehenge. Along the way, fantastical creatures come and go, impossible images are born and vanish, and the world manifests new possibilities just as easily as the company can think of them. Sayer calls it the Way By - an ethereal place of in-betweenness that is both physical and immaterial, tangible and not, and that she is a Waysmith, one of the last people capable of navigating it without becoming irretrievably lost. Sayer cautions the group's enduring doubt, however, because Madam Bel Carmen is right. The Fae are real, and they are dangerous.

It became easy for Brother Bill McCormick to feel at home at St. Joseph's Monastery. The lush apple orchards, bustling bakery, and mostly lovable rest of the cloister. Yet, Bill wants something more. Luckily, or unluckily, he receives a letter which sets off an unfortunate series of events which fling open the door to his past and upset his monastic life, but the fates will ultimately offer Brother Bill the chance to reconcile his past and find a life and love outside the monastery walls.

Students of the Poetic Edda have long ignored a seemingly unassuming, yet most important mythical character: Namely the mead-offering Maiden that appears at the heart of many a myth and heroic legend. This study shows how the Maiden with the Mead appears at the climax of a ritual structure within the myths - a structure that clearly is based on Pagan initiation rituals. The Maiden is the aim of the initiation and its consecration. Her mead is the mead that transfers knowledge, wisdom and indeed resurrection to the initiate. The study also shows that although the Maiden appears with different names and different status (she may be a goddess, a valkyrie, or giantess)she is always the same being - the Great Goddess of light hidden in the utter darkness of death. Only the initiate that overcomes his fears may find her in that ghastly realm and bring himself and the Goddess back to life - and to resurrection. This study shows the immense importance of this underlying myth and the ritual which it reflects, and throws new light on Old Norse religious practice and how to interpret Edda poetry.

Morufell is the story of two children who find themselves thrust into a different world filled with gods, elves, giants, ogres and the dead. The tale is told through a mysterious narrator who seems to know things that have happened and will happen to our main characters. The book is funny, insightful and full of illustrations.

The Bright One is a quirky tale, spinning the traditional views of the unicorn completely on its horns and giving us a journey that is beyond friendship, beyond loyalty, beyond the human and unicorn connection.

Twilight Tales contains a collection of stories woven through different characters and places. There are stories that are linked to Nordic themes like Sasha, who is a rabbit that lives with the goddess Freyja. The Sun, and Moon which tells the story of the Mani and Sunna [god/goddess of the moon/sun]. Sisters Of Land & Sea, which is the Norse version of The Little Mermaid and Be Careful What You Wish For, a story of being careful of the things we ask for. The book also contains tales of fairies and ogres in which we meet The Awesomest Fairy and Booger The Troll. The stories tell of fantastical tales that explain the making of the tooth fairy and what happens to those who go venturing for trolls to name a few. Twilight Tales is a book woven within an imaginary world created by dust. The idea of the book formed when it felt like we had read every story on the shelf and could never find anything different. It was all the same old, same old and it got boring. Twilight Tales was born out of an idea of passing on those 'old school' folklore style stories but in a bit more modern of a way. The stories convey lessons of truth, friendship, and sacrifice but geared for little minds instead. They are not preachy but instead instill foundations of life that are needed to be a good citizen and human being.

A fat, dreamy child, disappointing to his famous berserker father, Berki is given the mocking name Beowulf by his fellow youths. His love for the maiden Hygd drives him to his first heroic contest, in the course of which he is swept up by the wild passions of the sea-gods ninth daughter. Coming back from the sea's depths to the Geatish court, Beowulf discovers that he is no longer an object of mockery: his troll-like size, strength, and the lingering touch of the Otherworld upon him make him feared where he was once despised. Now Beowulf's true strife lies before him: the struggle to remain human among humans while accepting the sorrows and loneliness of his Otherworldly nature; to use his monster's strength to defend the earth from the ravages of troll and dragon; and to stand, at last, like a true king for the folk who once thought him worthless.

Kvilhaug's book of The Goddess Iðunn uncovers her true associations and links through poetry and myths. Iðunn is often linked to concepts like youth and fertility, but why is this?
