The Arthur of History
King Arthur dominates the mythic landscape of Britain, the Once and Future King who reigns in the psyche of the English and Welsh peoples. He is the "Shadow in the Mist" of British history and legends, glimpsed through numerous accounts, tales and place-names since his battles were first recorded in the 9th and 10th centuries in the 'History of the Britons' and the 'Welsh Annals'. Cutting through centuries of arguments based on medieval romance and poetry, August Hunt presents a challenging and convincing argument for both the existence of a historical war-leader named Arthur and his presence on the borders of England and Scotland. He also examines and integrates the evidence for Irish influ...
The Terrible One's Horse
The study of Norse or Germanic mythology has long been the guarded province of scholars. Unfortunately, few breakthroughs in terms of new interpretations have been forthcoming in recent years. Neopagan groups referring to themselves as Asatruar, literally those who believe in the Aesir or "Gods", have charted their own course in regards to deciphering the symbols and motifs found embedded in Norse myth, but these approaches, though admirable in intent, have often yielded wildly undisciplined or simplistic and naïve analyses. The present volume strives to achieve a "middle ground" between the severe strictures of academia and the ever-evolving and very individualistic belief systems of modern-day spiritual Vikings. It is with this goal in mind that the author presents thirty essays that he hopes will serve to fill the void in critical yet creative approaches to the unresolved problems posed by key elements of Norse myth.
The Bear King
Several years ago I wrote and published my book THE ARTHUR OF HISTORY: A REINTERPRETATION OF THE EVIDENCE. While I remain proud of the work (the end result of many years of intensive research), do not regret producing it, and still believe there is much of value to be found therein, I was from the outset dissatisfied with the conclusions I had reached. Why?Because I had failed to resolve two nagging issues: 1) who was Arthur's father, Uther Pendragon, really and 2) why were all the Dark Age Arthurs who were subsequent to the more famous man of that name from Irish-descended dynasties in Britain?The present title is an attempt to answer these questions and to explore in some depth a new candidate for the historical Arthur.
The Secrets of Avalon
This title provides a comprehensive introduction to Arthurian druidism.
The Neverending Hunt
Prepared by renowned Howard scholar Paul Herman with the assistance of Glenn Lord, this is the first new bibliography of Robert E. Howard since 1976. This massive volume contains more than twice as much information as the preceding biblio, The Last Celt. Robert E. Howard is considered the Godfather of Sword and Sorcery, and the creator of the international icon, Conan the Cimmerian, yet wrote successfully in numerous genres. The Neverending Hunt lists every story, poem, letter and publication in which a Howard work has appeared. It's more than you might think . . .
