"Be All You Can Be:
On Joining the Military"

​As a follow-on to Sword of Dishonor, I answer the question of whether a young man of our Folk should consider joining the military.  I do so by comparing a similar question put to Socrates by his student Xenophon, and what lessons we might take from that.

"The Saxon Savior: Converting Northern Europe"

​The story of Northern Europe's conversion is quite different from that of the Mediterranean. I begin the story centuries before Christ with Alexander the Great and the elimination of the polis as a self-governing community bound by common language, religion, and ethnicity.

"Met By Freya"     
​        
​  The Prose Edda states that the goddess Freya loved poetry, and many have written poems in her honor.  To my knowledge, this is the only one written in homophone chain verse, in which the first word of each line serves as a homophone for the last word of the preceding line.  (A few stanzas of this appear in  From Her Eyes a Doctrine, as something Aethelstan has written inside his copy of Homer's Odyssey.)
