You could really benefit by adding more pictures in the House on the Rock area. The deity page is worth reading though, although I would have enjoyed it more had each small scant paragraph had more information to offer. Also, in the deficient paragraph on Mithras you have made a mistake. According to Plutarch worship of Mithras had disemminated throughout the Roman world by 70 B.C.E. So, with more pictures, links and information your website just might become worth more than a cursory glance. 36 February 22 2003 at 23:14:23 Name: Nicole Email: jet_girl99@hotmail.com Homepage name: Homepage URL: http:// Recommend a book to me ^_^: Comments: You have no idea how pleased I was to find your page - I've just been re-reading 'American Gods', and have been meaning to find a page exactly like yours. Very complete, and the pictures of the carousel at the House On The Rock were great (I wasn't even sure the damned thing existed). However, I do have one small problem to point out - in your Leprechaun entry, you said they're usually quite small. This isn't true (and I believe Gaiman himself states this in 'AG', at Mad Sweeney's wake). They were in fact supposed to be very tall, like Mad Sweeney, and the fact that they were called the little people was pure irony. Other than that, great page! :) 35 February 18 2003 at 00:27:05 Name: Nan Email: rosedaughter531@hotmail.com Homepage name: Homepage URL: http:// Recommend a book to me ^_^: anything by Robin McKinley! Comments: Thank you so much for compiling this info! I'm teaching American Gods in my freshman comp class, and I plan to send my students here for help understanding all of the allusions. Mr. Gaiman himself recommended your site in response to a question I posted in his thread at Readerville.com (if you'd like to go there--go to the forum--his thread is in the "specific authors, specific works" folder.) 34 February 07 2003 at 13:23:10 Name: Natasha Email: n_elder@hotmail.com Homepage name: Homepage URL: http:// Recommend a book to me ^_^: Ishmael by Daniel Quinn (read it-it's fantastic!)

The only thing that I found was Lethe, a Greek goddess of amnesia and forgetfulness. Also, the river Lethe in Hades caused men to forget their past life on Earth. Unfortunately, she's a goddess and not a god, but that's all that I could find on that tack. 30 January 09 2003 at 09:42:18 Name: Milon Email: mnagi@hotmail.com Homepage name: Homepage URL: http:// Recommend a book to me ^_^: Comments: Gwydion - in The Mists of Avalon, Marion Zimmer Bradley uses Gwydion as one of the names of King Arthur, and later for his son Mordred. Could this be significant here, as a folk hero of huge importance? 29 January 04 2003 at 17:23:43 Name: michelle Email: m_l_m@btopenworld.com Homepage name: Homepage URL: http:// Recommend a book to me ^_^: Donna Tartt's The Secret History is great Comments: Brilliant site - read American Gods several times and was beginning to work out most of the gods, but could never quite visualise the house on the rock scenes so thanks for the pics! 28 January 02 2003 at 00:25:16 Name: David Email: avatarsburden@aol.com Homepage name: Homepage URL: http:// Recommend a book to me ^_^: Survivor, Chuck Palahnuik Comments: Great page!

I was reading AG for the second time when I found your site. It definitely expands my enjoyment of the book. Re my recommended book: I read it many, many years ago and was blown away by both the concept and the author's exposition on the concept. Then, when I recently visited Neil Gaiman's web site, he mentions this book in regard to AG. After that, I finally caught the connection (duh). 26 December 15 2002 at 12:15:50 Name: Michael Email: eternitywilliams@yahoo.de Homepage name: Homepage URL: Recommend a book to me ^_^: Hichhikerīs Guide to the Galaxy Comments: Great work. I researched a lot of that on my own, though I havenīt found all what you got. Great addition to my own info. I never suspected that "Ratatosk" had an actual meaning. Only one question stays: Just who the hell is this god everybody forgets immediately? 25 December 02 2002 at 13:02:47 Name: Trisha Lynn Email: trisha@sequentialtart.com Homepage name: Sequential Tart Homepage URL: http://www.sequentialtart.com Recommend a book to me ^_^: Black House, by Stephen King and Peter Straub Comments: Got here from Neil Gaiman's journal and yes, you did a fantastic job cross-referencing everything.

But I can think of so many! Comments: Ooh, I really love this page. I think my eyes are crossing, and I'm probably drooling. I've been wondering about who some of those gods were for quite some time know, and I've just been too lazy to check it. So, um... Thanks for making that list, even if it wasn't for me :D 23 November 28 2002 at 21:52:48 Name: Jenni Email: supagrrl@37.com Homepage name: nope Homepage URL: http:// Recommend a book to me ^_^: Ella Enchanted by Gail Carson Levine Comments: I love the photos from the house on the rock, makes me want to visit America even more!
