A life-long fascination with the making of England, along with the material artifacts of the Anglo-Saxon and Viking Age, has ever guided her work: the hand-carved combs, skillfully wrought swords, and gemmed goblets of the world of the Saga. The path of her interests has led to extensive on-site research in England, Denmark, Sweden, Iceland, and Gotland. She is a frequent speaker at both international literary festivals and museums, and has been the recipient of Artistic Fellowships at the Ingmar Bergman Estate, F\u00e5r\u00f6, Sweden; MacDowell; Ledig House International; and Byrdcliffe.   1:02:14 Episode Closing Thoughts Connections: Octavia Randolph  Website: https:\/\/octavia.net\/ &amp;nbsp;Sign up here to receive a free copy of Book One of The Circle of Ceridwen Free Cookery Cookbook:  https:\/\/octavia.net\/about-the-circle-of-ceridwen-cookery-booklet\/ Facebook: https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/OctaviaRandolphAuthor Instagram: https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/octaviarandolph\/ To visit the Baltic island of Gotland with Octavia on one of her Saga Tours, write to Octavia directly with the subject heading &quot;Saga Tour&quot;, at octavia@octavia.net  Toward A Better Life  Website:&amp;nbsp;https:\/\/towardabetterlife.com\/ Kevin Pennell:&amp;nbsp;https:\/\/towardabetterlife.com\/contact\/  ","author_name":"Toward A Better Life Podcast","author_url":"http:\/\/www.towardabetterlife.com","html":"<iframe title=\"Libsyn Player\" style=\"border: none\" src=\"\/\/html5-player.libsyn.com\/embed\/episode\/id\/36381915\/height\/90\/theme\/custom\/thumbnail\/yes\/direction\/forward\/render-playlist\/no\/custom-color\/88AA3C\/\" height=\"90\" width=\"600\" scrolling=\"no\"  allowfullscreen webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen oallowfullscreen msallowfullscreen><\/iframe>","thumbnail_url":"https:\/\/assets.libsyn.com\/secure\/content\/187707270"}
