    You fell victim to one of the classic blunders. The most famous of which is "never get involved in a land war in Asia,” but only slightly less well-known is this: Never go in against a Dwarf when magic swords are on the line.

    CS Lewis uses the symbolism of a cursed stone blade in the Narnia series, in book 1 it is used to slay Aslan then it reappears in the Voyage of the Dawn Treader on an island near the edge of the world, set at a feast table that is devoured nightly by a flock of birds (perhaps an allusion to 'raven's feast'?). Good yule tidings to you Jackson, lets raise a cup of kindness yet!

    If you could read from any one of the sagas you translated, perhaps on a weekly basis, it would be really great. Long form.. 2 hours or more... would be extra special. This same format.. crackling fire.. wolves.. perfect.. could listen to your tales for hours (though not yours but your telling it..) Thank you

      If you are a member of his Patreon you know, or should know, that Dr. Jackson Crawford has stated on Patreon that he NEVER reads any of the comments on his public RUclips videos. He only ever reads or occasionally responds to his Patreon members on his Patreon. God love him, but he’s just too busy to read everything! So just so you know any comments here are not going to reach him.

    I really love the topics he talk about and explores during all his videos but I can't seem to finish any of them. He's got the smarts. He's cute to boot. But he needs a better mic y'all.
