In almost all the great literature we have which pertains to the spiritual aspect of history; feasting is an important tradition. But I think almost anyone who would read this book might agree that the description of the feast is more than just a literary attempt to set the stage. From Beowulf to King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table, to the Last Supper and the Marriage feast of Canna, to the feasting table we are preparing to discuss in depth; Aegir’s Feast; there is a wealth of information and suggestions as to how we might “set the table” as it were with regards to how we feast upon the abundance of life.
