Dr. Jeff Anderson, assistant professor of history at the University of Louisiana at Monroe, will lead a discussion on 鈥淚ce, Fire, and Blood: The Gods of the Vikings鈥� Monday, Nov. 10, at the Ouachita Parish Public Library, Main Branch, beginning at 6 p.m.

Anderson鈥檚 program addressed Norse mythology and related it to the medieval Vikings鈥� way of life.

His work was also recently published in 鈥淗oodoo, Voodoo, and Conjure: A Handbook,鈥� Friday, Oct. 30, by Greenwood Press.

Anderson described the focus of his second published text. 鈥淭hough its title may suggest it is a how-to guide, it is not. Instead it is a folklore handbook that examines historical patterns and practices within African-American magical and non-Christian spirituality.鈥�
