The author’s Eagle’s Mead is a complex and weighty tome, a world full of magic and mysteries. Now, a small and friendly window into that world and the poetic possibilities of the path of Runic Initiation has been opened with this collection of poems from it.
A sample of each of his great themes will be found within: Mead, Runes, and Grails. These thirty-one poems include his translation of the Rúnatal, several rune poems, A Skaldic Eagle Takes Flight, Óðinsdrápa, Rúnagaldraljóð, Seek Rûna, Runes for the Grails, and Three Draughts from the Vine. Eirik Westcoat is a runic initiate who has presented his award-winning poetry at several regional Asatru gatherings in the American Northeast.
In addition to being a poet, he is also a scholar with a degree in Viking and Medieval Norse Studies who specializes in Old Norse mythology, poets, and poetry, with published articles on the galdralag meter, the meaning of the valknut, and the authority of poets in Old Norse literature.
The Routledge International Handbook of Charisma provides an
unprecedented multidimensional and multidisciplinary comparative
analysis of the phenomenon of charisma - first defined by Max Weber
as the irrational bond between deified leader and submissive
follower. It includes broad overviews of foundational theories and
experiences of charisma and of associated key issues and themes.
Contributors include 45 influential international scholars who
approach the topic from different disciplinary perspectives and
utilize examples from an array of historical and cultural settings.
The Handbook presents up-to-date, concise, thought-provoking,
innovative, and informative perspectives on charisma as it has been
expressed in the past and as it continues to be manifested in the
contemporary world by leaders ranging from shamans to presidents.
It is designed to be essential reading for all students,
researchers, and general readers interested in achieving a
comprehensive understanding of the power and potential of
charismatic authority in all its varieties, subtleties, dynamics,
and current and potential directions.
