A special note of thanks is given to the fabulous Fálki for his friendship over the years, for being kin to me. While this book should not be taken as the official views of the GFS, I am still appreciative of the organization's respect for gnosis as well as research, and the good people within its membership. Thanks is given to the Geferræden Fyrnsidu for being the first group I've been involved with that feels like tribe. I thank Fuensanta Arismendi (Plaza) for the kindness she has shown myself and Eosin, and her deep devotion to her Gods is an inspiration to me.
I thank Jon for inspiring me with his strength in recovery and trust in his Gods. I thank Blade for being a good listener and my "reality check" person, and for his fresh perspectives on Heathenry. I thank Elizabeth Vongvisith for her friendship and support and encouragement of my writing as well as my service to Frey, and for humor. A huge debt is owed Raven Kaldera and Galina Krasskova for setting the stage for books such as this to come out, and for helping to get my foot in the door, so to speak, with 'Gifts of the Golden God'. Hail to Valgrind, Priestess of the Aesir and friend to Vanatruar. Big thanks to Valgrind for her friendship and understanding the need for the different tribes of the Northern Gods to make Their ways known again, at this time when Midgard sorely needs it. I also give my appreciation and gratitude to Alex Volundsdottir, Brun Russellson, and Saevör Ælfwyn for comparing notes and making information accessible to the public with their own websites. A special note of appreciation is given to Tracy Nichols for being a joy to work with professionally. I did not want this information to sound like a cult I made up, and it is good to get corroboration from other friends of Vanic Powers, even if we are not fully in agreement 100% of the time. A thousand heartfelt thanks to all the contributors from far and wide, all around the world, who gave me something usable for the book. Thanks to my critics - you challenge me to do more research, and improve my writing skills, and of course, you give me more publicity. Thanks to people who follow my website and my blog, and have looked forward to this book - you give me an audience to write for. I also give thanks for him learning how to do page numbering in Open Office before I pulled out my hair. 860 Aviation Parkway, Suite 300 Morrisville, NC 27560Īcknowledgements First of all, much love to my partner Eosin for being the first other person I knew of who identified as a Vanic Witch, and the first person I could open myself up to about my mystical experiences and "heretical" opinions without being criticized.
