Celeblin Galadeneryn Wouldn't that somewhat count as naming your kid after a living relative due to his fatherly position in the pantheon? sweatdrop Here's the thing. This is from an Asatru that refused to adopt a kitten named Loki, but he turned around and named his son Odin.

This is from an Asatru that refused to adopt a kitten named Loki, but he turned around and named his son Odin. .............. I'm guessing there's someone who's been missing out on his share of blots in his house. There are days when I blame a lot of Asatru who seem to not "get it" (ie, the ones who use the "noble virtues" or apply the wheel of the year to the Norse Gods for no reason) on the fact that Loki's being ignored because he's bad or some s**t. Then I realise it's probably just annoyance that all my interactions with Loki generally consist of a swift jab to the head and an reminder to not forget him.

Celeblin Galadeneryn .............. I'm guessing there's someone who's been missing out on his share of blots in his house. Not even allowed to say the name in his house. He actually kicked a guy out for reading from the Poetic Edda and refusing to change the wording to omit Loki from the passage. rolleyes

Oddly enough, his life seems to consistently circle the bowl.

That's some massive ignorance right there. Also our Yule would have shocked the hell out of him. Since we were in amongst a lot of general Pagans, we started off with a general thanks to the richness of the year in our toasts, then a round went for Freyr and Njordr, then a round for Odin with the host Dave screaming ODIIIIIIINNN! as he raised the horn (all those years at Penzic War proved good for something whee ), then our friend Brand gave a lovely speech about human's capacity for knowledge which allows us to understand and appreciate the Gods, if only in perfunctory ways, and then the final pass went to Loki, with Dave screaming LOOOOKIIIIIIIII! at the head of the table as well. I think that guy would have run out screaming.

He would have likely babbled on about how you're summing a deity to bring chaos into your life and how you'll be lucky if you don't get in a car accident on the way home.

Since when? What the hell is his take on the creation story then? And we got home quite safe. Dave ended up getting a little sick, but that's because someone put blue cheese in a salad and didn't mention it to him.

Celeblin Galadeneryn Wait, chaos is bad? Since when? What the hell is his take on the creation story then? Don't ask me. I started to tune him out. Quote: And we got home quite safe.

TeaDidikai Celeblin Galadeneryn Wait, chaos is bad? Since when? What the hell is his take on the creation story then? Don't ask me. I started to tune him out. I sympathise. It would be that or screaming at him until he stops, and then giving him the most harsh lecture on his ignorance of the very Gods he thinks he's serving I could manage. Sometimes I just want to sneak up behind this people and go 'LOKI LOKI LOKI" but I don't want to be disrespectful to Loki. sweatdrop Quote: Quote: And we got home quite safe.

Though he often deserves it, and recovers pretty gracefully after a few minutes. Quote: Quote: He's allergic to it. sweatdrop Poor thing. I know eh? I love mould. Brie is awesome.
