Book Review: ICE LAND by Betsy Tobin

I found this book at one of my local thrift shops, and when I opened it was thrilled to see some familiar names. Freya, Fulla, Dvalin. This area is a very strange place to find fiction relating to the Norse gods, so I decided to pay my dollar and have a read. To be honest I wasn't expecting much, as the majority of most lore based fiction has left me yawning. It just seems so lifeless and repetitive. There is a fiction book simply titled LOKI I tried to read not long ago, and it would be the typical unimpressive attempt at Norse fiction.

I really hope I am not boring everyone with the soul searching lately, it just seems like at this moment in my life I have been focused more on inner rather than outer working.

Maybe it is good to share, part of being pagan is improving the self too isn't it?

At this time I am trying to incorporate these inner changes into a more holistic approach to spirituality and life in general. So bear with me if you are interested, and pass along until next time. I fell in love a few years ago, and this time it was real love. Maybe the first time I actually knew what that felt like. Its been nearly four years now with this person and if anything the love between us has only grown. Its been a greater blessing to me than I could describe....
