	Alaric Albertsson Alaric Albertsson is the author of Travels Through Middle Earth: The Path of a Saxon Pagan and Wyrdworking: The Path of a Saxon Sorcerer, both published by Llewellyn Worldwide.  Alaric embraced polytheism back 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, rural customs, herbal studies, spiritist beliefs and rune lore.  For Alaric, a reverence for the earth and respect for ancestral and indigenous spirits are fundamental defining qualities of pagan religion. Alaric eventually moved to Kansas City, where in the 1990's he served as Vice President and on the Board of Directors of the Heartland Spiritual Alliance.  In 2001, at the winter solstice, he and his partner Scott moved to western Pennsylvania.  While writing Wyrdworking, Alaric collaborated with artist Taren Martin to create the popular Martin Rune Deck (www.wolfden-designs.com).  A member of ADF, Alaric is a Dedicant Program mentor and an active member in his local grove. www.AlaricAlbertsson.com
