Greetings I've looked over your site, and like the idea a great deal - it is consistent with my own beliefs that knowledge ought to be as freely available as possible. You have my permission to utilize material from my own sites within yours, as long as you re-format it to your own site's requirements rather than simply copy-and-paste my pages. I would appreciate backlinks and source attribution where appropriate, but even if that isn't possible, you are still free to adapt whatever you find useful from my work.
Cordially; Bruce R. Gordon

From the article: In that work, Jotunheim lies in the East, Muspellheim is clearly South, and Niflheim is just as obviously North, so one might infer that Alfheim is in the West, beyond the seas.
In what ways are these "obvious"? There aren't fire-giants in Middle-earth's south -- just a lot of Haradrim and elephants and such. --FOo 15:07, 20 Jan 2004 (UTC)
I think the wording referred to the world of Norse myth and legend, not to Tolkien's Middle-earth. But in any case, the only two references to Álfheim in Norse texts place it in heaven, not in the West, beyond the seas. Jallan 01:52, 17 Oct 2004 (UTC)
