Spiritual Update!
Aug. 18th, 2012 12:55 pmActually, the best is that Mike's going to restart the Havamal discussions on Yahell again. Unfortunately, the Wimpy-Siders are complaining about too many English translations....as is they'd be bothered to even look up let alone learn Old Norse! I've always found the more translations of ANY non-Native(to you) language, the more likely you'll get a closer "feel" for the intent of the writer...even if the stanza is attributed to a God;>! Nothing Pisses me off more than an Odinsman telling me they don't need them because the Old Man'll tell them what they need. Oh, I think He'll "teach them a lesson", probably not the one they thought though....
Tina has a Ritebook available on E-bay that I'm putting money away for next month. Even if there's nothing new in it for me, I'll be supporting both a fellow Heathen AND a person I happen to Respect. Maybe it'll get me out of the sloppy habit of "spontaneous" Rites...as if something that happens every yr at the same time since probably the Proto-Indoeuropeans were wandering arround the Streppes can be called so;>.
Summer's Heat and Humidity(not to mention rain around here!) has pretty much put the kybosh on most N. European crops and food processing. The last Ferment I did....DIDN'T. Chuck tends to not be particularly thrilled by these hobbies but he doesn't have a good nose but the last batch he could! Even Bread has been problematic.There's some Heirloom crops from the old USSR that Baker Creek has got a hold of and most of them'll do well here in Fall and WInter, as long as I keep the frostcovers handy.
On the "Woo" side, nothing really new has happened since Chuck saw the little girl Spirit last month. We still have those big honk'n Wights(twice as tall as the town watertower)to the East slowly wandering around and they don't match ANYTHING I've seen or read in Mythology so their probably something local and those People's were wiped out by Smallpox before the Spanish got to this part of Florida. They do a little bit look like one of the Native cooking pots if it was stretched in a funhouse mirror to a couple of stories....
Cheers,
Pat
