ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
----------------

As always, Karen Anderson has been first and foremost among those who
helped me, in her case with ideas, research, criticism, encouragement,
and companionship.

We thank Steve and Jan Stirling for kindness and hospitality; Laura
Frankos for admission to the church in her novel St. Oswald's Niche;
David Eck, Jim Moore, and Ken Seowtewa for guidance and information.
None of these people is in any way responsible for any errors of fact,
mistaken interpretations, important omissions, and other infelicities
that may remain, but without them there would have been many more.

The verses quoted in Chapters 40 and 41 are from "The Childish Edda,"
which was largely composed by Ron Ellik and me on an overnight drive
long years ago. He was a great guy. It's been a pleasure to bring back
this memory of him.
