I spend hours on the internet reading blogs, about tons of various themes. I have to first of all give kudos to whoever built your theme and intermediate of all to you for writing what i can only describe as an unbelievable article. I honestly consider there is a skill to writing articles that only a few posses and frankly you got it. The combining of informative and quality content is definitely highly infrequent with the large amount of blogs on the net. What a great web log.

I'll go watch that right now! I'm writing as much as I can, but spreading myself pretty widely in the process. But it's coming along. I just hope it's something I can get published when I get to that point! Hey Cameron, thanks for the link. I’ll go watch that right now!

Meanwhile, I have a bit of silly fun for you - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tp4sIM6NCEo&feature=related This is a song by one of my all time favorite singers - Alexander James Adams, live performance on You Tube...it's called a "Troll in Valhalla" and while being goofy as all get out, there is a wonderful fierce Viking spirit in it that I think you would enjoy! (and by all means, watch the rest of this concert series - it's excellent!) Hope all is well, feel free to touch base by email, if you so desire. And I would LOVE to get a copy of your book, once published and available!

We had a bout of intestinal flu over the weekend gift of my son's friends at school but we're recovered now. I didn't do much writing or posting for the two weeks he was home. I'm hoping to get back in the saddle now as I've several articles to write for several different people - GodsOwnParty? and NewsJunkiePost - as well as pieces for myself and the book I'm trying to put finishing touches on.

Is everything ok? Knowing that your son has health issues, I have been concerned that there has been a crisis...or some other unrelated crisis that we know nothing of. Hoping that all is well for you and yours in this New Year. Want you to know you are missed! A candle is lit for you this day... Hraf,

It means something like "Raven Helm". Facts are good - all people need to do is open their minds up to facts, process the data in their brains, and open their eyes again and see how they see the world then, without the dogmatic expectations of religions of the book with their "You're free to examine the question as long as your conclusion is 'X'."<br /><br />We Heathens have a book but it doesn't matter if we take the stories in it literally, but they've gone and married themselves to theirs and now they're looking pretty silly.

I guess it depends on which name of Odin's many name's you are googling.
Wotan might get you something different as I found out the hard way. Not being of Scandinavian descent, I've settled for Woden.

Woden mit uns!

PS. How does one pronounce Hrafnkell?
