1. Venture untruth and note well: be troubled, for here be webs of horror!
2. Swinger loses hesitation in a spin, but gets religion to reveal him.
3. Belly overstuffed in the valley?
ANNATAR: She runs back and forth to meet a sailor; a most fair-seeming one!

As it happens, I had considered "Annatar" for the "A" clue.
So, I'm thinking #3. is TUMLADEN- "tum" (belly) + "laden" (overstuffed).
No idea on the others yet.
