Biografia breu
Alaric embraced polytheism in the summer of 1971, and has never looked back! Over the past four decades his personal spiritual practice has developed as a synthesis of Anglo-Saxon tradition, country beliefs, herbal studies and rune lore. For Alaric, a reverence for the earth and respect for ancestral and indigenous spirits are fundamental defining qualities of Pagan religion.
During the 70's, living in the Ozark mountains, Alaric had the opportunity to talk with rural people with traditional customs - moon lore, weather lore, healing superstitions - passed on for generations. During this time he was also influenced by spiritist traditions. He eventually moved to Kansas City, where he served as Vice President and on the Board of Directors for the Heartland Spiritual Alliance during the 1990's. In 2001, on the day of the winter solstice, Alaric left the Midwest and moved to Pennsylvania, where he currently resides.
Alaric and his partner Scott co-founded the Saxon inhíred Earendel in 2003. Like all inhírdas, Earendel is an extended family and not open to the public, but its members strive to foster a greater public awareness and appreciation of Pagan Saxon traditions in southwestern Pennsylvania. As an author, speaker and drýmann, Alaric himself travels around the United States giving presentations and classes throughout the year.

A much better book than anticipated. The author weaves together a number of Indo-European pagan traditions reflecting a more agricultural lifestyle than we tend to have in developed nations, and ties it neatly together. Frankly, this book would be useful for non-Pagans as well, simply for the advice on gardening, keeping chickens and bees and planting trees! I was surprised and delighted by this book.

It was less about a pagan path and more of a home-ec book. Entire chapters were dedicated to pets, baking, beekeeping and growing a garden.

Albertsson writes in an easy and conversational tone about the various aspects of his chosen path through a pagan lifestyle. Some fun activities and crafts, and a strong emphasis on making your path fit your own choices and beliefs, rather than conforming to any one true way. The book felt cluttered by the many options to pagan lifestyle, as the author explored not only his chosen Saxon Pagan path, but also the innumerable other pagan options (Norse, Hellenic, Celtic...) resulting in a diffusion of options. I would have liked to read a stronger focus on Albertsson's speciality, this might have tightened up the book and left exploration of other paths up to the reader.… (més)

While it's a pretty standard introduction-to-a-path book, it's a sterling example of the genre. Albertsson has a sense of humor about himself and his path, he discusses reconstructionism in a practical way, he provides clear guidance without trying to sound like he has all the answers.
