http://cheezburger.com/View.aspx?aid=2994965248 Long time, little ekorn. I'll message you in a few days, jul is an exciting time here in the north.
Life in Bulgaria is relaxing. We swim, read, eat, drink and sleep. Just what the doctor ordered. I'll find some more amusing facts from the norse mythology when I come home if you're still interested.
We will be staying in a nice small hotel owned by the family of one of my daughters friends. We were there last year, nice and relaxing.
Yes, it's sort of magic water, that's why it is guarded. And the tree is the tree of life and the world and has a healing power in itself. The snake feeds on dead bodies, it's not a nice snake. Nid means jealousy or hateful feelings, hogg means to sting.
I think the water is from one of the three wells, one under each root. One of the wells has water that gives you wisdom, and the women guarding it pour the water where the snake has bitten. The water prevents the roots from rotting. I know nothing about the Chicago area, will google now. It's always fun to learn something new.
No, it doesn't make too much sense. Ginnungagap is the big dark ravine betveen the cold dark and the warm light. All life is created from the meeting between them. And if the snake manages to destroy the tree Yggdrasil the world will go under. The world is built up around and in the tree.
Hi. Norway is ok, it's summer here and the days are long. We don't have midnight sun here, but very short nights. Did you know that Ratatosk runs between the eagle Vidofnir who lives in the tree top and the snake Nidhogg who lives under the tree Yggdrasil. Nidhogg tries to gnaw off the tree roots to kill the tree.The nornes (wise women) pour water on the roots and prevent the tree from dying. Ratatosk brings gossip and spitful words between the eagle and the snake.
I know our old religion quite well. So how is life in Ginnungagap? Must be dark and lonely, I guess.
