Today is Wednesday, Woden's Day, Odin's Day.
Where would we be without LKH to trace this entymological lineage for us? Where would I be with LKH? Curled in a ball on the floor, sobbing in hopeless confusion, for I just could not discover why we call Wednesday, Wednesday. But...where did Saturday come from? I'm so lost!
So happy Woden's Day. In case you don't know he was the leader of the Norse pantheon.
What's Norse? What's a pantheon? Where am I?
He sacrificed himself on the World Tree, so that he could return with the magic of runes, and writing, and he was also the giver of the mead of poetry.
Methinks Woden has slipped LSD in your poetry mead.
After he swiped it from a giant. A deity that gave the world writing, magic, and poetry, seems like a good deity for a writer, doesn't it?
Don't try to blame Woden for this mess. He's washed his hands of you.
Though, he is also a deity of the wild hunt, and though, he, himself, is not above trickery and deception for his own ends, he is the punisher of wrong doing, sometimes.
SAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAVE US, WODEN!
Like most deity energy, he has many faces, and many duties. Gods like people are seldom one dimensional.
Characters in the fourteenth book of a long-running series, however, become very easily one-dimensional. You could call the ficus in the corner of the room Micah and you'd get about the same level of character development.
---Flog Two---
Interestingly, today being Thursday, is Thor's Day.
Oh, THANK WODEN. But now I fear Friday. From whence came Friday?
Thor is the Norse god of lightning among other things.
He also was the god of the Big Fucking Hammer, which he used to smite writers that pissed off Woden with their comma abuse.
As we modern pagans look for deities for use in a new age world, I think those of us with storm and electrical trouble could do worse than look to Thor.
I'm sure the working men at Kansas Electric, or whatever the hell you told us your company is, are invoking Thor every time they get in the bucket and play with live wires.
What is electricity, really, other than lightning broken to bit and bridle?
What is a New York Times Best-Selling author, but a hack that lucked out in her timing and gathered enough ass-kissers to put her inflated head and mind-boggling ego in a wheelbarrow and cart it around for her?
---Question---
Okay, so what's with the Norse mythology? Has she converted away from the Goddess to Woden? Has she deserted Diety? Will Loki NEVER play havoc with her hard drive and save us all?
I think she's 'researching.' I think you pagans are about to see yet another shining example of your faith in the next AB book, courtesy of the learned Professer Pagan, the shining example of all Wicca. Or Norse. Or...whatever. I can't keep up. The last time she started providing useless trivia in consecutive blogs, we ended up with Micah. *cue Psycho music*
Now I am frightened.

Date: 2006-07-30 05:29 am (UTC)...You know, LKH sets a really great example for me. Or rather, a cautionary tale, to be precise.
As has been said by others of this community, if I become a published author someday, I will remember LKH, and what NOT to do and I swear I will NOT end up like her. If I do, I will sign a contract, granting permission for someone to shoot me if I end up going off the deep end.
Will Loki NEVER play havoc with her hard drive and save us all?
I hope somebody curses her and FRIES her hard drive AND her brain.
Great Loki, Norse God of mischief, save us! I implore you!
I think she's 'researching.' I think you pagans are about to see yet another shining example of your faith in the next AB book,
As I have said before, I HATE THIS WOMAN SO. VERY. MUCH. I hate her for being in my religion. She's a fucking EMBARRASSMENT. A laughingstock.
Anyone up for a BITCH, PLEASE moment?
I certainly am.

Date: 2006-07-30 08:14 am (UTC)Bet I know more about the days of the week than she does. Monday, the Moon's Day. Tuesday, Tyr's Day (derived from the anglo-saxon Tiv or Tiw ). Wednesday, Wotan's Day. Thursday, Thor's day. Friday, Friia's Day (also known as Freyja, possibly Frigg). Saturday, Saturn's Day. Sunday, the Sun's Day.
Durrrrrr.
If she tries to do what I think she's going to try to do, using MY (okay, not MINE, but you guys know what I mean.) gods...
BTW, Loki was/isn't evil and he wasn't responsible for the death of Baldr. Just had to get that out there.
Re: *hHhHHhhhiIIIIiiiIIiiiIIiIiisSSsssSsSssSSSSssSS*
Date: 2006-07-30 09:20 am (UTC)The first part I get, as there is a line between "evil" and "mischievous". I'm confused as to his lack of complicity in Baldr's death and lack-of-resurrection.
Re: *hHhHHhhhiIIIIiiiIIiiiIIiIiisSSsssSsSssSSSSssSS*
Date: 2006-07-30 09:34 am (UTC)The problem is that he took an incredible amount of artistic liscence. Despite listing his sources near-religiously (ha ha), Snorri gives no indication that he had ever even heard of Baldr's draemar , the poem that gives us the most information about Baldr's death. In the actual poem, Loki gets a mention. That's pretty much it, unless I start digging into my notes. Quite a bit of the stanzas seem to have been filled in with Snorri's own speculation.
Hod is the only one directly implicated in Bladr's death. Even the implication that Loki was indirectly involved is tenuous.
He did, however, in the Lokasenna state that he "brought it about that you will never again see Baldr ride to these halls". I'll give you that.

Date: 2006-07-30 03:08 pm (UTC)Maybe she meant to spell "diety". Like... on a diet.

Date: 2006-07-30 07:37 pm (UTC)Oh, please don't let LKH write something about the Norse gods. She'll find a way to prettify Hel! she'll scare off Loki's wife and set him free from the rock and the poison! She'll make Baldur not!blind!
Maybe we can dig up some mistletoe and see if it's got the same kind of killing power as it used to have. I'm sure that if it refused not to harm Baldur, it's got no problems with doing full damage to LKH.
