Hi Bernard

I am a great lover of all your books. My familly comes from the coastal towns of Northumberland or the once Bernicia . I am very interested in the term you use several times in the book wyrd bid ful araed .Is this Celt Saxon or Norse?   Could you  also tell me its literal translation. Many thanks for your wonderful  books.I would  be most indebted to you for answers to these questions as I  have just had this phrase tattooed around my shoulders.Good luck with your future projects  .

with warm regards from Bebbanburg
