- "I don't lead people by the nose. To me poetry is saying more than is written, or deriving different images or meanings from what is actually written. I am more imagination than literal interpretation."

Yes, it undoubtedly had a small influence upon this work. Although the subject here is somewhat more literal and not based on satanic philosophy.

- "Adam of Bremen's account of a blót celebrated at Uppsala. "Every ninth year there is a blót of nine days, a common feast for everyone in Sweden. Then they sacrifice nine males of each species, even men, and the bodies are hung from the branches of a grove near the temple. No one is exempt from this blót and everyone sends gifts to the shrine, even the kings. Those who are Christian have to pay a fee not to take part in the blót.""

- "This piece took me a bit by surprise, not that I wasn't expecting it to be something good or even spectacular, but that the lens and perspective seems to speak into something deeper than I expected. The greatest poems, in my opinion, are not just therapeutic to the poet but also traumatic. A becoming and destruction. I think the 4th stanza is probably one of my favorite stanzas I have ever read here. Tops! Really very good. +tpu+"

- "Good stuff here man. The past is etched in stone, as long as we haunt the same alleys, it will always be there to remind us of it. Triumphs, short comings and scars all the same. For the creative type, poets specifically. I think we write to document what we were thinking and feeling.... and when we come back, it opens the wound in the most beautiful way. This work reminds me of that notion. Good write, mate. +tpu+"

- "How the hell did I miss this..that ending...that everything.... Long has it been since the word has cut to the core of me. It has to be one of the most subtlety beautiful and elegant things I have ever read. This stirs the wonder and wanderer. I cannot sing praise high enough. Crowning work here, majestic. +tpu+"
