The perceptions of Norse Mythology, of ancestors, gods, Euro-Tribes, hidden worlds and highly intelligent alien beings all converge in the novel "Eye in the Well of Mimir". A fictional fantasy? Perhaps, and then again, perhaps not quite as fictional as some might be led to believe. Each reader can form their own conclusions as they see fit. However, one thing that most readers can be sure to agree on, "Eye in the Well of Mimir", by author Ron McVan, offers not only a virtual well of knowledge, but a journey that just might awaken and transport its readers to the roots of their deepest inner Folk-soul. Few can deny that we are living in very anxious and perilous times. Desperate times call for desperate measures, and for John Morrissey, the central figure in the story, immediate answers, action and solutions must be found and implemented, even if his quest leads him to travel to the ends of the earth. As he sets out to find the 'Well of Wisdom' known as 'Mimir's Well' his journey takes him to the south pole of Antarctica. But what he finds within the well is not exactly what he had envisioned. After a few days visit with some highly intelligent beings, he returns to the Outland world of Midgard from which he came, not only a changed man but a driven man, a man with a desperate, if not crucial destiny laid out before him to fulfill.
