Informative article! I'll be visiting "Journey to the Sea" regularly, I suspect.

On a separate note, a few small excerpts to edit:

“attempt to make a landwhi of fantasy relevant to a world of reality”

(Robert Graves discusses the Spiral Castle and other aspects of Welsh mythology in his book The White Goddess, many which Alexander used.)

Thanks again for the article, and please pardon my conventional neuroticism.

Thanks for the correction, Joesph. And I should, of course, be rapped on the knuckles for making it in the first place. :)

@Joseph - Thank you so much for the positive feedback. It's such a learning experience for me writing and editing the articles, and it's great to know that readers are getting just as much out of the site.

Good catch on whicker/wicker. I updated the article itself with "wicker."

Whicker? OK for horses. 'Wicker' of course. Or perhaps, Dallben was found by the three witches in a 'wicca' basket?.. :))

But seriously, a BIG thank you for 'Journey to the Sea'. It is the only web magazine I subscribe to that I read thoroughly - every Issue, every article. I am genuinely impressed with your writers' erudition, breadth of interest and ability to make the realms of Mythos/Logos so easily accessible at the same time. Please keep up the good work. Your site is a rare gem, a hidden pearl. And a damn good magazine as well!
