Summary
A book detailing the history of the early Germanic people, beginning from the time the Gods created Midgard and the other realms, until the fall of the Northern Empire in 105 BC. To write this book I used a combination of historical documents and retrocognition, which is (in my opinion, and others who believe in such abilities) the ability to see into the past via dreams or visions during meditations. Using these two methods I have written a book I've dreamt of writing for a long time, recording history as I personally believe it happened. I understand such things as retrocognition may sound far fetched to many, if not most people, so I offer this book both as a history for those open minded enough to consider it as such (even if at the end they disagree with my conclusions) and to those who can't as (I hope) a good/fun read nonetheless.

King of the Anglo Saxons: A Sacred History of Alfred the Great by MatthewGordonMacNeil
Fandoms: The Anglo-Saxon Chronicle - Various Authors, Asser's Life of King Alfred - Asser, Original Work, Historia Regnum Britanniae - Geoffrey of Monmouth, Christian Tradition Lore & Folklore
11 Oct 2024
Tags
Summary
Born the youngest of six children to Ethelwulf of Wessex and his wife Osburga, Alfred was never meant or expected to be King of Wessex, the greatest of the English Kingdoms of the time. Through battle and sickness Alfred was thrust into the Kingship as a young man suffering with Ulcerative Colitis and facing down the Great Heathen Army, the largest Viking army ever assembled up to that time by the grandsons of Ragnar Lothbrok, hell bent on taking all of England.
Faced with such dangers Alfred nearly faltered, but his faith in God, his people, and his elder brother Edwulf helped him pull through.
In this biography, created through using both documents close to the time period such as the Anglo Saxon Chronicles, Asser's biography of the King, and retrocognition, the ability to see the past through dreams, I tell Alfred's life story from his time in Rome as a boy to the great Battle of Ethandune where England's fate was decided.Series

From Newfoundland to Japan: The story of William Adams by MatthewGordonMacNeil
Fandoms: Original Work
18 Oct 2024
Tags
Summary
Born in the village of Gillingham, son of a Scottish sailor and a Welshwoman, William Adams' life seemed to be destined to be average, and it was, at least at first. Following in his father's footsteps he became a sailor, serving against the Spanish Armada in the 1580s and afterward finding himself in the employ of the Dutch, which is how he ended up in Japan, member of a treasure hunting crew. It is here where his life took an unexpected turn, and why we remember him today, though what we think we know of him is shrouded in error.
In this brief biographical essay I hope to present the real William Adams.Series

Summary
In the days before Christianity reached Scandinavia Magic still governed the lives of its people. Svafrlami, King of the Danes, knew this better than most as he wielded Tyrfing, a sword forged by Dwarves, a blade with a mind and will of its own which hungered for blood of the slain. This is the tale of the sword and Svafrlami's family, and how Magic shaped their lives.

Doc Holliday: Dentist and Gunfighter by MatthewGordonMacNeil

Tags
Summary
Doc Holliday is best known today for the famous Shootout at the O.K Corral in Tombstone, Arizona. His name cemented into the history of the American West, but not many know the real story. In fact many don't know the real Doc at all.
Using the gift of retrocognition and historical research I hope to share the unknown facts about Doc's life. Like, for instance, far from being American, he was actually of Canadian extraction, born in Canada to American parents. This tidbit of info has been lost over time, but it and many other lost nuggets of knowledge will be shared in this short biography. It will no doubt be controversial to some, but this is how I believe his life unfolded.Series
