The Christian war on Halloween is definitely a losing battle. Dressing like a freak and eating candy are just too much fun for people. Women need one day a year when they can shamelessly dress like prostitutes and men can wear women’s clothing without anyone thinking strangely. But when Jesus starts dressing as Thor — it’s truly time to throw in the towel.
Seems logical to me that fertility god Freyr gets a lot of chicks. What’s puzzling is that apparently someone is keeping records of how many women he hooks up with. I suppose it has to do with public accountability… seeds sown, fields plowed, that kind of thing.
Odin finally gets a tour of Baldur’s mead hall, and what do you know, it’s not so bad — relatively speaking. Jotun prisons, of course, are no country clubs.
House plants are so versatile. Children love them… so do spiders looking for a home and cats looking for a place to take a dump. House plants provide beauty, fresh oxygen, and yes… even a place to vomit. So treat them well!
I’ve been seeing a lot of incredibly fat skrator lately (what they call magpies here in Sweden), so I decided to honor them with a cartoon. You have to respect these hardy, hardworking birds who stuff themselves to the feathers with seeds and worms in preparation for winter. But you also have to wonder… do they ever go overboard?
For some reason they always leave this part out of the Viking movies… livestock in the house. Mead halls, presumably, could be quite cozy during the long winter months.
I know it’s been a long time coming and thanks to everyone who has been anticipating Baldur’s mead hall since I mentioned it back in January. Ultimately Baldur decided to go with a traditional design for his new home. Of course, what does this word “traditional” really mean? Seems like whether you are talking food, religion, politics, or architecture, everyone has their own definition. In any case, Baldur is quite happy with his modest new home and Odin is wondering what he did to piss off the Norns.
Today is the fall equinox.
