In the beginning was the Great Mother ...In ’Norse Goddess Power’, the Norse goddesses are resurrected through beautiful, life-affirming and sensual retellings of myths from ancient times, when the Norse region transitioned from Vanir belief to Aesir belief. The Vanir belief allowed the equality of the sexes and their coexistence with nature to create a melody, the roaring notes of which you are invited to hear.Icelandic Hanna Snorradóttir tells vividly with depth, passion and a twinkle in her eye about the Norse goddesses’ roots in nature’s annual cycle, spiced with her colourful journeys into the Norse wisdom tradition in Iceland, Denmark and Germany.The myths are alive! The retellings are based on both the written sources and the author’s intuitive interpretation of the myths. The stories shed new light on our understanding of our own lives and the life of society – also in a modern context.You are invited to savour the nourishing ‘myth concoction’ from the Norse universe, brewed to attain power, wisdom and insight."This book is a guide to this world, an introduction to a forgotten language."Lars Muhl, author, mystic and musician

Östen had not only bought the Sami man's land and fishing water, he had also bought his boat and all his fine and well-maintained fishing nets. They were hanging on large fork-shaped birch trunks down by the lake shore. I have made a good purchase here, Östen thought to himself when he saw them. But even though people trade land, forest, and water with each other, they often forget to take into account that neither belongs to them. Other beings had an ancient claim to everything that man believed to possess. And Tomas Månsson might not have been completely honest when he praised the great fishing fortune here in the lake. He may have had many sons, but not as many as he once had. But Östen was unaware of all this, and that was perhaps a good thing. He works the hardest who believes he is the master of his own destiny. WILDERNESS is a settler story from Saxnäs in Swedish South Lapland in the early 1800s. WILDERNESS is the fourth independent story in the series Modern Nordic Folk Tales. Storytelling for adults.

"But The Salmon King was still not entirely satisfied. And when men, whether of jotun descent or human blood, reach out for more than there is to take, good fortune can turn against the brave and arouse not only the wrath of men but also of the Invisible".The Salmon King takes place on the Island of Eysturoy in the Faroe Islands in both the past and present. The story is rooted in the history and folklore of the Faroe Islands and is inspired by old legends, folk ballads, and beliefs, in a modern setting with quota barons and salmon farming. And maybe there are still invisible forces at play in the magical Faroese nature?The Salmon King is the first volume in a planned series of modern tales from all the Nordic countries. The series is also published in Danish and is colourfully illustrated by Unna Hvid in watercolour / mix media.

When the world ended there was no one left to care ... Sally was nine years old the day she realized that her house was not really there. Now she must traverse a bewildering and alienating world filled with spiders, monsters and girls in bunny suits. Her only hope is three misfit young men who would rather listen to doom metal and further their drug abuse than save the world - again. The second book in "The Sleep"-Trilogy takes a full throttle down Weirdness Lane and never looks back. Enjoy the adventures of how Ash escaped the coils of the penis snakes (yes, you did indeed read that right), how the illusion of memory slips through the hands of those who live in this dead world, what the deal is with all the ghosts and what the strange shadows in the corner of your eyes are -- no, don't look now. You need to read this first if you want to survive.

How the world ended and no one noticed... It is my theory, that there are only three types of people in the world: Sleepers, ghosts, and spiders. Most people are sleepers. They walk around and function relatively normal, but they do not know what is going on around them. The ghosts are not actually ghosts. They are a memory of people who existed before the world ended. Well, the world as we knew it, once. The ghosts do not do much. They are just there, really. The spiders, however, do stuff. A lot of crazy shit. This story is mainly about the difference between the three. My name is Ash Bourbon. This is obviously a fake name. If you do not already know me, or have already read some of my previous stuff, that is probably for the best. That shit did not paint me in the best picture, to be honest. In fact, a lot of that stuff probably made me seem like a fucking maniac. I am not. Not entirely, anyway. Let me explain...
