Professor Michael York rejoins us to discuss the day Wednesday. Sort of. Wednesday is Woden's Day. Odin. But Wednesday is also Miercoles. Mercury. Who is often considered Hermes, who is usually associated with Hermod in the Norse panoply. Or is he? Where does Lucifer come in? Does he? Despite me making this mistake numerous times, it's Venus - not Mercury - that is the "morning star". How about Abraxus? Who? Well, you'll find out.Wednesday spilled into some confusion regarding Saturday, but the answer was recollected post production and is below. Mars became Tyr (Tuesday), Mercury became Odin (Wednesday), Jupiter became Thor (Thursday) and Venus became Frigg (Friday). Saturday came outside the system: The Norse form 'Saturday' means 'hot water day' - which can be translated as 'washing day' or 'washing water day'.It was originally the day that Norsemen took their baths.

Oh wow, it's Wednesday again. Funny how that seems to happen over and over. Did you know that Wednesday was named after the Germanic god Woden? In Romance languages, that name comes from the Roman god Mercury. Could you imagine if Wednesday was Mercuryday? Kind of explains why it always feels a bit retrograde-y. If Woden doesn't really sound all that familiar, the god is also known as Odin. Odin was portrayed by Anthony Hopkins in Thor, though the actor is more commonly known for his role as Hannibal Lecter in Silence of the Lambs. Circling back around to Thor, that's where Thursday comes from. Before you ask...no. Tuesday isn't named that because it's the second day of the workweek.

This week on The Hoot, the owls take a hard look at the ACT Government's 20-year plan to cull the number of poker machines in local clubs. Under the initiative, the number of poker machines in the ACT will be slashed to just 1000 by 2045 if Labor is re-elected in October (there are currently 3790). The primary goal is to reduce gambling harm. ACT Labor says it will legislate to force clubs to give up 500 machines every four years until the target is met. But there's more. The sweetener will be a framework for clubs to develop sustainable alternative revenue streams, including practical ways for clubs to unlock their land so it can be used for housing, build-to-rent projects and aged care. But it's not all smooth sailing - in fact, the clubs are positively ropable. And where would we be without light rail? On a bus probably, but aside from that ... We're headed to the polls in October and it seems like light rail will again be a primary focus. Oh, goody. The Libs are in a spot of bother with their plan to put us on the buses, but the government has some problems, too. Some of the turns to Woden are a bit sharp for the not-too-nimble trams, so we'll be getting a tunnel. Of sorts. And they don't come cheap ... not that we know what the cost will be, but apart from that ... Finally, we discuss this park from Andrew Barr.

Returning to the topic of the highest god, Odin. First I address why the Romans weren't entirely wrong when they compared him to Mercury/Hermes. Then I present my theory about how Odin learned the nine sacred songs called Galdra and why this is related to his role as the god of the runes. The dankest god, Odin, and esoteric theories go together like runes and galdra. Please support this podcast if you want it to continue: https://survivethejive.blogspot.com/p/donate.html

The Anglo-Saxons believed in supernatural creatures such as Elves and Dwarves and giants ("Etins") who often brought harm to men. It is likely that they believed in Wyrd (German "werden"), usually translated as "fate," although the modern term fate does little justice to the true meaning of Wyrd. Being a Germanic people, the Anglo-Saxons worshiped the same gods as the Norse and other Germanic peoples. The names are slightly different due to the differences in language among the Germanic peoples. For example, Thunor of the Anglo-Saxons was the same god as Thor of the Norse and Donar of the Germans. Likewise,Woden of the Anglo-Saxons is the same as Odin among the Norse and Wotan of the Germans.

Hel and her kingdom In Germanic mythology, Hel is a figure associated with the realm of the dead, also known as Helheim. Hel is the daughter of the trickster god Loki and the giantess Angrboda. She is described as having a half-living, half-dead appearance, with one side of her body appearing normal and the other side being decaying or skeletal. Helheim, or "Hel's realm," is one of the nine realms in Germanic mythology and is often depicted as an underworld or afterlife realm. It is a cold and desolate place where those who die of old age or illness are said to go. It is ruled over by Hel, who governs the realm and determines the fate of the deceased. According to Germanic mythology, those who died honorably in battle were taken to Valhalla, a majestic hall in Asgard ruled by Woden. Meanwhile, those who died dishonorably or in a less glorious manner were sent to Helheim. It is important to note that Helheim is distinct from the Christian concept of Hell, as it is not a place of punishment for sinners but rather a neutral realm for the deceased.

Are you by yourself right now? No, I don't mean are you alone… I mean, are you the only one in your organization managing partnerships? I know I am! And in that respect we aren't alone… in a recent survey of 664 professionals by Hubspot and Partnership Leaders, 59.6% of the respondents reported having at least one employee working full time on partner operations. The report went on to share some pretty interesting findings with regard to the size of partner ops, the different kinds of partnerships and metrics involved, and the impact all of that has on company revenue. But what does that industry really look like? What kinds of partnerships are companies exploring today, and how are they managing that? Should you hire more staff? Invest in more partner tech? Explore more integrations? That's exactly what our guests today are going to talk to us about, and you and I are lucky because I have twice as many guests as usual in the studio today. Kelly Sarabyn is the Platform Ecosystem Advocate at HubSpot, where she is responsible for growing the ecosystem through partner content and engagement. Before that, she worked in marketing at Pandium, and was a partner at Woden, a branding agency. She believes companies that leverage partnerships and ecosystems can drive more revenue and build stronger brands. And I definitely agree with her on that. Asher Mathew is a co-founder of Partnership Leaders. He's worked in sales, marketing, customer success and business development, as well as partnerships in venture and bootstrapped businesses. Partnership Leaders is the top community for partnerships and alliance leaders looking to advance their career and improve their partner programs.

On Monday 30th January Network 2023 was launched. Canberra's bus users are not happy, I have heard this loud and clear. We are trying to encourage more people to use public transport in the short term due to construction disruption in the city, and in the longer term to address climate change and traffic congestion. But this network has gone backwards. Canberrans want a better bus network. People from all across Canberra in all parts of the community and from all walks of life have spoken to me about the need to improve our bus network. This is why I passed a motion last May in order to improve bus services by delivering minimum hourly services across the weekend and to see a return to a full bus network in 2022. Unfortunately, we have not seen either delivered yet. We also have not seen the full transition away from Disability Discrimination Act non-compliant buses. I understand the supply issues detailed by the Minister earlier this week. That was a really detailed explanation and I thank the Minister for being so open about the issues. I understand the role COVID has had to play in this. But the ACT Government has had 20 years to become compliant with the new standard. The Minister's statement on Tuesday set out that the Government only finalised the procurement of the last 26 leased diesel buses to replace the remainder of the non-compliant buses in March 2022, nine Months before the due date. In an environment where we knew that Covid was creating significant supply chain constraints, we should not have left such an important procurement until 5 minutes to midnight. Accessibility is essential for many Canberrans who have no other option but to rely on our public transport network. I want many more to use our public transport network as their best and first choice, not as their only option. We must do better. All of these people have been let down by the delays in this procurement. We need to plan our upgrades better and implement them earlier. We also need to deliver our infrastructure on time. We need a greater level of investment into building new infrastructure, including the long-awaited Woden Bus Depot, so that we can expand the bus network. Despite contracts being signed in 2018 for the design and construction of the Woden Zero-Emissions Bus Depot, it was only last week that $26.3m was announced to deliver the electrical infrastructure upgrades to facilitate these buses at Woden and Tuggeranong. We have had no announcement at all about electrical upgrades to facilitate zero-emissions buses at Belconnen or any other future northside depot. The September 2020 Zero-Emission Transition Plan for Transport Canberra put forward that the Woden Bus Depot would be completed by 2022 with another zero-emissions bus depot delivered by 2026. We are not on track. We are delayed. In November in response to my question on notice we found out that the Woden Depot is now not expected to be delivered until late 2024. I am lodging more questions with the Minister this week. I want to find out when we'll get a fourth bus depot for Canberra. I am concerned that this new zero-emissions depot may not be completed by the original deadline of 2026 based on what I've seen so far. We need more buses. We have not increased our bus fleet in line with our growing city and growing population, in fact in the last 33 years our bus fleet has shrunk. In 1990 the ACT had around 282 thousand residents. In 2022 we had more than 456 thousand residents. That's a population growth of more than 61%. We have also grown geographically. Every single year new suburbs are being built. Lawson, Whitlam, Molonglo, Ginninderry, Jacka, Kenny and more. In 1990, ACTION had 479 buses and this year we have 456. That is 23 fewer buses in our fleet 33 years later. This is why we need to choose which services to run during our disruptions. We do not have enough buses. How can we deliver improved services to all these new suburbs and new people, and maintain our existing suburb routes, if we are running fewer buses than we had over 30 years ago? Light rail is our great public transport success. I love light rail. The people who use it love it. I want to see it expand as soon as possible. But Light Rail is just one part of our public and active transport network. We must also invest more in our buses. We must transition faster to zero-emissions buses. We need more bus lanes and bus priority measures, more bus shelters and better footpaths connecting them. Without this investment, next year's bus network will be no better than this year. That will be the same story every year until we plan properly and invest sufficiently. We won't have a better bus network until we have more buses and improved bus infrastructure. I want to quote from the 2022 Infrastructure Australia Market Capacity Report. That report is not about ACT infrastructure specifically. It is about Australian infrastructure and it sets out the situation that will apply to all major projects from here on. That report said, and I quote, “the market is arguably at capacity, so project slippage is now expected. It is no longer a question of if a project will slip, but more likely when, by how long and at what cost.” I would also like to amplify one of their recommendations. They said we must “Improve industry capacity and capability by prioritising procurement and portfolio management and increasing pipeline transparency, certainty and confidence.” It is going to get harder to deliver major projects and to do it well and on time. So when deciding on transport infrastructure priorities we need to prioritise. We need to choose public transport and active travel first. The Greens understand this. It is essential if we are going to reduce our climate emissions and keep Canberra as a liveable city we can all move around in comfort. We need to plan well and follow through. We need to invest properly. We need to prioritise clearly. If we don't, we will continue to have a bus service that does not meet the needs of our people.
When the Western Roman Empire crumbled, the Anglo-Saxon peoples who occupied Britain brought their own paganism with them. This was Germanic, with a pantheon of deities that included Woden, Thunor, Tiw and Frig. Its temples were wooden structures that leave scant traces in the landscape, but you can find evidence for their beliefs in cemeteries like Sutton Hoo.This lecture looks at such evidence and at literature such as Beowulf and the history written by the Christian scholar Bede.A lecture by Ronald Hutton recorded on 1 February 2023 at David Game College, London.The transcript and downloadable versions of the lecture are available from the Gresham College website: https://www.gresham.ac.uk/watch-now/anglo-saxon-godsGresham College has offered free public lectures for over 400 years, thanks to the generosity of our supporters.

In Anglo-Saxon mythology, Valhalla is a majestic, enormous hall located in Asgard, one of the Nine Realms. It is ruled over by the god Woden, and is the destination of the souls of warriors who die in battle, known as einherjar. The einherjar is chosen by Woden and his valkyries, who are female figures who decide who shall live and who shall die in battle. The einherjar train in Valhalla during the day, fighting one another in preparation for Ragnarok, the end of the world when they will fight alongside the gods in the final battle against the giants and monsters. Each evening, the einherjar dine in Valhalla on a great feast provided by the boar Sæhrímnir, which is cooked and served by the cook Andhrímnir, and then the einherjar return to their fighting, as the feast is consumed again each evening. They drink from the horn filled with mead which will never empty. Valhalla is also depicted as being a very beautiful and grand hall, with a roof made of shields, a floor of polished spear points, and walls adorned with the banners of fallen warriors. Woden himself sits upon a throne called Hildskjalf, from which he can look out over the nine realms, and the warriors in Valhalla are attended to by a number of other deities and beings. Valhalla is considered the most heroic and honourable death, where brave warriors can fight and feast every day, enjoying immortality and glory. It is a powerful symbol of the warrior culture of the ancient Anglo Saxon people and a representation of the importance of warfare in their society.
This is an opinion piece published in the Canberra Times on 11 January 2023. Canberrans deserve a well-connected city, where they have a choice to live close to work and amenities, and a city built on principles of sustainability. High-quality, frequent, reliable, and sustainable public transport is central to that vision. Building light rail is about taking long-term decisions that address the serious challenges this city faces in the future - population growth, congestion, climate action and urban sprawl. Canberra's population will grow by around 100,000 people in the next decade. How will they move around? Our congestion is growing three times faster than that of other mainland capitals. A total of 63 per cent of our greenhouse gas emissions come from transport, mostly cars. The annual lost productivity cost of road congestion in the ACT is predicted to exceed $500 million by 2031. If we want a different outcome, we can't keep doing what we did before. Whether they lack the foresight, the imagination, or the fortitude, it is untenable for the Canberra Liberals to have no vision to address the reality of these challenges. Our city needs solutions, not platitudes. Experts across the disciplines, from town planners to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, are clear on how cities should develop. We can't solve climate change or congestion by building more roads. More roads just fill up with more cars. Instead, we need high-quality denser housing based around great public transport and walking and cycling corridors. The ACT Greens understand that we must invest in new public transport infrastructure such as light rail to make Canberra more sustainable and liveable as we grow. While any new public transport infrastructure will have a short- to medium-term cost, the longer-term cost of doing nothing is significantly greater. Those who have used light rail between Gungahlin and the city have already seen the benefits. We know that 43 per cent of people surveyed on light rail said they never used public transport before using light rail. The network will be even more useful once it connects to the fast-growing Parliamentary Triangle, Inner South, and Woden, and later to Belconnen, Russell, the airport, Tuggeranong, and other key places. Three months ago, the Commonwealth announced a new national security precinct in the Parliamentary Triangle for 5000 staff. If the Canberra Liberals had their way, would these staff drive from their homes out in Kowen or west of the Murrumbidgee River and park in Barton, significantly increasing emissions, congestion, and worsening Canberra's quality of life? The preferable alternative would be to give people the opportunity to live closer to where they work, to opt for a home on a dedicated public transport corridor. In this term of government, the ACT Greens have consistently argued in the Legislative Assembly for more and better buses, a faster transition to a zero-emissions bus fleet and faster delivery of light rail stages 2 and beyond. Not only has Stage 1 in Canberra been a great success, there are also many other examples of light rail being rolled out, such as the Gold Coast and Newcastle. While the NSW Liberal government has already committed to the project, NSW Labor has now promised to accelerate the Parramatta light rail as part of their election platform. Locally, we have seen welcome support from Federal governments of both persuasions, with the former Coalition government committing $132.5 million, and the Albanese government adding $85.9 million of funding. Canberra is a growing and evolving city. The vision of distant suburbs connected by wide, expensive freeways was in vogue in the 1970s, but this century's reality is we need something different. We need focused investment in schools, hospitals, local amenities, and high-quality, frequent, reliable, and sustainable public transport, including light rail. This is something the ACT Greens understand and will keep working to deliver.
The Story of the Magi from the east is an echo of the ancient, pagan world. We take Christian history for granted and forget the power of the ancient, pagan world and the influence of the East on the Western World. A good example is that the ancient Babylonians named the weekdays after the five planetary bodies known to them and the other two days they dedicated to the Sun and Moon (Sunday and Monday). The Jews, of course, explained the seven days of the week differently. The Romans followed the Babylonian example, not the Jewish, and the Emperor Constantine established the seven-day week in the Roman calendar in 321 A.D. designating Sunday and Monday as the first two days of the week. The names of our days of the week came later in European history. The other English weekday names were derived from Anglo-Saxon names for gods from Teutonic mythology. Tuesday comes from Tiu, or Tiw, the Anglo-Saxon name for Tyr, the Norse god of war. Tyr was one of the sons of Odin, or Woden, who in turn gave his name to Wednesday. Thursday originates from Thor, the god of thunder. Friday is derived from Frigga, the wife of Odin, representing love and beauty. Saturday comes from Saturn, the ancient Roman god of fun and feasting. We kept Sunday in honor of the Sun and Monday in honor of the moon. The echoes of the pagan world are all around us. A blast from the past. This episode played three years ago. The Feast of the Epiphany celebrates the mass conversion of the pagan world to the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. The worship of the Creator, not the created. Readings: https://bible.usccb.org/bible/readings/010823.cfm The music is licensed under One License and is performed by the St. Mark Choir.
Salvation is Not by Self Works (Audio) David Eells - 1/4/23 Smitten But Not Destroyed Tiannah Fire - 1/1/23 (David's notes in red) I saw a woman on her elbows and knees on the ground in sorrow and grief; in physical and spiritual pain.(This woman represents the corporate body of Christ who are faithless and hopeless in the apostate Church.) I felt she was going through trials and tribulations and giving into her soul and flesh rather than allowing her spirit man to be in control. Rather than believing the Word and walking by faith, she was giving into her physical sight and feelings of pain and suffering. 2Co 5:7 NENT (for we walk through faith, not through sight) (Rom. 8:13 for if ye live after the flesh, ye must die; but if by the Spirit ye put to death the deeds of the body, ye shall live.) I then saw, in the spirit, demons around this woman pushing her down and hitting her. Although she was humbled on the ground, the demons were constantly hitting her because she was letting the demons attack her and not casting them off. She was unknowingly giving the devil power over her [through her faith in the devil and the curse.] Eph 4:27 neither give place to the devil. I felt the Lord was allowing this to happen to get her to a place where she will use her faith to walk in authority, and in the Spirit. (Sometimes the Lord allows us to be backed into a corner by the devil so that when we have nothing left to lose, we will come out swinging and fighting. This is unfortunate but often times the case because many Christians are either ignorant or spiritually lazy. We must be faithful to use that authority He gave us.) Luk 10:19 Lo, I have given you the authority to tread upon serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall in any wise hurt you.(Gal. 3:13 Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us; for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree.) I felt that God doesn't give us more than we can handle. God was allowing the demons to do to her what she was permitting them to do. 1Co 10:13 Only human temptation hath overtaken you: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation make also the way out, that ye be able to endure it. (We do everything for babies but, as they get older, they are expected to do it for themselves. Also, as we see in Job, the Lord allows satan to try us in order to show us our hidden faults and also bring us into spiritual maturity.) I then saw Jesus walk over to her and, without any effort, pull a demon off of her and throw it far away behind Him and then the other demons fled. He then got down on her level and grabbed her hand and stood her up. (Just as in the parable of the prodigal son, the Father ran to meet him where he was and brought him the rest of the way home.) She was comforted and strengthened in faith and boldness and He wiped away the tears from her eyes. Rev 21:4 and he shall wipe away every tear from their eyes; and: death shall be no more; neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain, any more: the first things are gone. The Keys of the Kingdom are Useless if We Don't Use Them Deb Horton - 12/25/22 (David's notes in red) Recently, we've been having an adventure here in the RV campground with this historically cold weather and have lost our water, due to it being frozen, so I haven't been able to cook. Willard and I are also among the unwashed masses. I believe this is symbolic of the water of the Word being frozen in people's lives. While our water was frozen the Lord gave me this dream: (As we will see, people have been cold towards God's Word, it has become frozen and ineffective in their lives.) In extremely dim light, almost complete darkness, I saw the biggest, most massive key ring you can imagine, and it was loaded to the gills with all different kinds of keys, practically layers of keys. The keys were various kinds of metal, some looked extremely old and had surface oxidation because of their age. They were crushed against each other and there was no way to fit even one more key on the ring. (i.e. they are unable to be used to lock or unlock anything or bind and loose anything. Jesus told His disciples in Mat. 16:19 I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven; and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven. Many Christians are not taking the keys that Jesus gave to them and using them; they are all still crushed together on their key ring.) I asked Father to give me a word by faith at random to help us understand what this is about? And I received by random computer: Col.3:16 Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly... (The Word of Christ is the keys to the benefits of the Kingdom. It must dwell in us richly in order for us to bind and loose.) Fear Not For I Am With Thee Tiannah Fire - 12/31/22 (David's notes in red) The Holy Spirit was speaking to me through my husband, Samuel, and I felt the presence of God strongly. However, my flesh was fearful, as I could feel parts of my old nature dying. It was being washed away and the Holy Spirit was increasing inside of me. (I feel sometimes my flesh fears dying to self although the spirit and soul desire it. The enemy knows he is defeated and works with the flesh to grasp at every straw in order to survive.). (Rom. 8:13 for if ye live after the flesh, ye must die; but if by the Spirit ye put to death the deeds of the body, ye shall live.) I was really just desiring to hold onto Jesus and I was agreeing with the Spirit and not wanting to give into the flesh's fear. (When we are faithful to receive the Word of the Lord through His vessels and submit to it, our spirit man is strengthened as it is washed clean from the filthiness of the old man. Samuel represents our spiritual Husband, Jesus. When we submit ourselves the authority of His Word we bear His fruit in our lives.) I then saw, to my right, Jesus' giant hand come through the roof of our home and rest in front of mine, indicating and welcoming me to hold His hand. I put my hand where I saw His and felt an abundance of peace and comfort; knowing that He is always there and He won't let me go. He knows what I am experiencing and He will get me through it. He has already gone through it all for me. (Mat. 11:28-30 Come unto me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. 30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light. And Joh. 16:33 In the world ye have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.) He is patiently waiting for us also to grab His hand [and lean upon His strength.]. Isa. 41:10 fear thou not, for I am with thee; be not dismayed, for I am thy God; I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness. Deep Water Trials Samuel Fire - 12/8/22 (David's notes in red) In prayer I heard [the Father say], “Declare My Works and My Word. Be alive in My Word and live it with your whole heart. Await My blessings in the journey towards Me. Do not question whether or not they will come, but expect My blessings to come. Keep moving towards the goal in Christ and keep desiring to change into the image and character of My Son.” I then had a vision of a person swimming alone in deep, open water late at night, and there was no moonlight. (Swimming in water in the dark represents going through trials [in our ignorance]). (These dark waters represent the curses of this world that we are buried under from birth.) If the person stopped swimming, they would sink under the water and drown. (Swimming or treading water represents fighting to escape the curse of this world using the Water of the Word so that we can overcome death and have the life of Christ.) (If you flee from crucifying the flesh, you will fall away from Jesus.). However, the person gracefully, gently, and calmly kept swimming towards the land. (Cooperating with Jesus during the refining process). (Jesus is represented by the land. He is the anchor for our souls through the rough, watery trials of life. We must endure these trials to reach our Promised Land, who is Christ.) The person rejected all thoughts and feelings of fear, panic, doubt, unbelief, and vain imaginations about what could happen to them. They, instead, stayed focus on their goal to get to the land. (The devil loves to remind us of all the “monsters in the deep” and he tries to get us to be fearful so that he can prevent us from reaching our promised land.) (They got through the trial by trusting in God's Word and by doing spiritual warfare and prayer). The person didn't race or rush or burn themselves out, but they kept a steady pace and they didn't stop at all. They eventually got to the land and they couldn't be happier. (Slow and steady wins the race.) (I believe the lesson of this vision is: Don't try to run ahead of God or do your own works but rest in the finished works of Christ and wait patiently for His promises to manifest.) He Drew Me Out of Deep Waters Tiannah Fire - 12/12/22 (David's notes in red) I had a vision of myself submerged 55 yards deep underneath open water, far out in the ocean. (The number 55 represents two fold grace.) Below me the water was so dark, and I could see that the only light was above the water. (Just as in Samuel's revelation above, these waters represent the curses of this world that we are buried under from birth.) (Darkness is separated and pushed away from the Light.) Joh 1:5 And the light shineth in the darkness; and the darkness apprehended it not. (Jesus is the Light and His Word enlightens us. Joh 12:35 Jesus therefore said unto them, Yet a little while is the light among you. Walk while ye have the light, that darkness overtake you not: and he that walketh in the darkness knoweth not whither he goeth. 36 While ye have the light, believe on the light, that ye may become sons of light.) I kept swimming and moving to get to the top where the light was. ([This represents having a] love and desire for our Father and Lord Jesus) I didn't want to fall any further down into the darkness and I wanted to get to the top quickly so no creatures would find me. (This represents fighting to escape the curses of this world and the demons that take advantage of it. The curses represent the deep dark waters. The waters are both blessing and cursing as God told Moses. When we're in the water we swim towards the light, which is Jesus, the Word made flesh. As we swim towards the Light, we overcome the curse of sin and death to have the life of Christ.)(We must avoid the enemy and the grasp of the world [represented by the creatures of the deep].) 2Ti 2:26 and they may sober up from the snare of the devil, having been taken captive by him unto that one's will. I just wanted to get out of the water and get to the light. It seemed difficult and took much physical energy to finally swim to the top.(Fighting our flesh nature to escape the curses of the world is a difficult trial.)(Nothing can be achieved by ourselves. We must rely completely on the Lord's strength) Pro 3:5 Trust in Jehovah with all thy heart, And lean not upon thine own understanding: And Php 4:13 (NENT) I can do all things in him that strengtheneth me. When I got to the top, I took my first breath and it was so wonderful to be able to breath in the air. (Taking in a breath is taking in the Spirit of God because they are the same word in Scripture.)(Taking in the breath of life and being filled with His Holy Spirit.) It was a big achievement to finally get out of the water and I was happy to be able to rest and to be above water. (Representing triumph in the victory of Christ.) However, there was no land or boat in site. There was literally nothing but water as far as I could see. There was no raft, literally nothing that I could do to get out of this water. (The open waters force us into the release of ourselves [and our independence], and to completely rely and believe in the God of our salvation; walking by faith and not by sight.) 2Co 5:7 (NENT) (for we walk through faith, not through sight) After writing up all this I put it down and then I had another vision. I saw myself deep under the open water again, but I saw Jesus as a giant and he was looking at me from above the water into the light. He reached his hand to me and pulled me up to the top of the water. (Representing His love and grace to save us.) Mat 14:31 And straightway Jesus stretched forth his hand, and took hold of him, and saith to him, Thou of little faith, wherefore didst thou doubt? I realized that in the previous vision, it wasn't me swimming to the top but, it was Jesus pulling me up. I couldn't physically see Him there before. Praise You Lord! We can do nothing without You! Out in the open water, only God could pick us up with His hand and bring us up to Him. Or only He can send other people as His hand to help. We are completely and totally reliant on Him for everything including our breath and existence. Thank You our wonderful Heavenly Father for drawing us to You and setting us free and doing more for us than we could ever understand. Thank You for bringing us out of the darkness and into the light and for bringing us through all these trials. Thank You that You have carried us our whole life and You will continue to carry us into Eternity! It's all You! (2Sa.22:2-23 …Jehovah is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer, even mine; 3 God, my rock, in him will I take refuge; My shield, and the horn of my salvation, my high tower, and my refuge; My saviour, thou savest me from violence. 4 I will call upon Jehovah, who is worthy to be praised: So shall I be saved from mine enemies. 5 For the waves of death compassed me; The floods of ungodliness made me afraid: 6 The cords of Sheol were round about me; The snares of death came upon me. 7 In my distress I called upon Jehovah; Yea, I called unto my God: And he heard my voice out of his temple, And my cry came into his ears. … 17 He sent from on high, he took me; He drew me out of many waters; 18 He delivered me from my strong enemy, From them that hated me; for they were too mighty for me. 19 They came upon me in the day of my calamity; But Jehovah was my stay. 20 He brought me forth also into a large place; He delivered me, because he delighted in me. 21 Jehovah rewarded me according to my righteousness; According to the cleanness of my hands hath he recompensed me. 22 For I have kept the ways of Jehovah, And have not wickedly departed from my God. 23 For all his ordinances were before me; And as for his statutes, I did not depart from them.) When We Rest in God We Receive His Life Vanessa Weeks -11/5/22 (David's notes in red) In a dream, my husband, Barry, and I, along with people of UBM, were living in a large, old mansion with many rooms. (Joh 14:2-4 In my Father's house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you; for I go to prepare a place for you. 3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I come again, and will receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also. 4 And whither I go, ye know the way.) We were on the second floor of the mansion, and I remember seeing a large chandelier hanging in the hall from the second floor ceiling which also was open to the first floor. (A chandelier has many crystal ornaments that refract its light into the colors of the rainbow. The rainbow symbolizes God's promise and faithfulness to mankind.)(Barry: This light could be seen from both floors. God gives light to people at each stage of their growth.) (Isa. 28:9-10 Whom will he teach knowledge? and whom will he make to understand the message? them that are weaned from the milk, and drawn from the breasts? 10 For it is precept upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, there a little. And Pro. 4:18 But the path of the righteous is as the dawning light, That shineth more and more unto the perfect day.) ...I only remember walking on the second floor, but I knew there were several small rooms on the first floor that were bedrooms. The front door led to the area under the chandelier, and then the bed rooms were just down the hall. (The front door is Jesus through whom all must enter to come into God's kingdom. Joh 10:7-9 Jesus therefore said unto them again, Verily, verily, I say unto you, I am the door of the sheep. 8 All that came before me are thieves and robbers: but the sheep did not hear them. 9 I am the door; by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and go out, and shall find pasture. The pasture represents the bedrooms where we find rest through Christ.) I was walking around on the second floor, looking for a bed for Zoe. (Barry: Zoe is a Greek word for life, and only when we rest in God do we receive His life.) I saw a bed across the way from where I was, and I grabbed a rope and swung over to the bed. It was hard to do, and I held on to the left bedpost with my left hand. It broke and I had to let it go or I would not make it on to the bed. This was hard because I was thinking it was the only way to get on the bed. (Trying in my own strength [to enter the rest and Life of God.]) (Faith in the promises is the only way to enter the rest. Heb. 4:1-3 Let us fear therefore, lest haply, a promise being left of entering into his rest, any one of you should seem to have come short of it. 2 For indeed we have had good tidings preached unto us, even as also they: but the word of hearing did not profit them, because it was not united by faith with them that heard. 3 For we who have believed do enter into that rest; even as he hath said, As I sware in my wrath, They shall not enter into my rest: although the works were finished from the foundation of the world.) But as I let it go, I had a renewed strength to hold on to the bed frame with my right hand and swing myself over onto the bed. (We must let go of the things of the flesh and the world to have the rest and the life of God.) Zec 4:6 Then he answered and spake unto me, saying, This is the word of Jehovah unto Zerubbabel, saying, Not by might, nor by power, but by my Spirit, saith Jehovah of hosts. Then I was able to rest on the bed. Then I woke up. I thought of Eph 3:16-19 that he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, that ye may be strengthened with power through his Spirit in the inward man; 17 that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; to the end that ye, being rooted and grounded in love, 18 may be strong to apprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth, 19 and to know the love of Christ which passeth knowledge, that ye may be filled unto all the fulness of God. The Accuser Always Tries to Remind Us of Our Debts Samuel Fire - 12/12/22 (David's notes in red) I dreamt that we just moved to a dusty, hot outback town and we had lots of broken, wooden items under our carport to remove as rubbish. (Representing getting rid of the wood, hay and stubble [of our lives].) (The trash of the flesh nature tries to crowd out the place of rest for our earthly vehicles or mobile tabernacles represented by the carport.) So, I called up a man who lived in the town, that had a handyman service to remove it all. When I spoke to him, he said that it wouldn't cost me anything to have him do it. (The ways of man are deceitful and there is always a price to pay one way or another, as we will see.) He came around and removed it all that same day. (This represents relying on the ways of the world and man to clean ourselves up.) The following week I needed to get something else done through him, so I went to his building and there were many other people lined up waiting for his services. (Representing seeking worldly methods instead of God's methods [of faith and rest in His promises that 'it has already been accomplished' by Jesus at the cross].) So, I waited in line for my turn, which took a long time. Then when it was my time to speak with him, I told him what I needed done and he then told me that I had to pay him $230 from when he removed the things from our carport. (With man, there is always a catch.) (You can't escape the curse. Man's methods only shift the curse from one area of our lives to another. Jer. 17:5-9 Thus saith Jehovah: Cursed is the man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from Jehovah. 6 For he shall be like the heath in the desert, and shall not see when good cometh, but shall inhabit the parched places in the wilderness, a salt land and not inhabited. 7 Blessed is the man that trusteth in Jehovah, and whose trust Jehovah is. 8 For he shall be as a tree planted by the waters, that spreadeth out its roots by the river, and shall not fear when heat cometh, but its leaf shall be green; and shall not be careful in the year of drought, neither shall cease from yielding fruit. 9 The heart is deceitful above all things, and it is exceedingly corrupt: who can know it?) I was really annoyed and frustrated because he had said that it was free before, and if I had known it would cost so much, I wouldn't have had him do it. (Relying on man's methods is time consuming, frustrating and drains us of our financial resources. We will ultimately regret what it costs us.) I felt that he had just made up this random number and payment so he could get extra money. I angrily told the man that I won't be able to pay until Wednesday, which was 2 days away. (Wednesday is named for the god Woden, who is paralleled with the Roman god Mercury, probably because both gods shared attributes of eloquence, the ability to travel, and the guardianship of the dead. “The wages of sin is death”. When we trust in the arm of the flesh the curse of death is upon us and we will ultimately pay with our lives.)(Paying the debt 2 days away represents that 2000 years ago Jesus paid our debt. 2Pe. 3:8 But forget not this one thing, beloved, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. Today it is fulfilled only when we accept it by faith. If we do not accept His sacrifice, then the wages of sin is death.) He said that won't work, and that he needs it now or our electricity would be cancelled. (Representing threats and attacks on our minds by the enemy to keep us in fear and reliance on the world's ways instead of God's ways.) (The enemy is a liar. Only when we walk by faith do we have any power.) I replied to him that I would only be able to pay if God gives me the money for it, and He wants me to pay you. If God doesn't provide the money for it, then I know that you lied about me having to pay you this money. Then I woke up. (Satan will always try to remind us of our past debts and convince us that they are still owed.) Our Heavenly Husband Has Paid All Our Debts Anna Stewart - 11/8/22 (David's notes in red) Last night I dreamed that my husband, Matthew, and I were vacationing in Germany. (Matthew means, “gift of God” and represents Jesus who is God's gift to humanity to reconcile us back to Him.) (Germany is representing the roots of my flesh nature, since that is half of my biological heritage).(We must not give our flesh a vacation from its crucifixion.) We were sitting in the lobby of a gift shop. (representing all the world has to offer.) In front of us was a little display of leather, handcrafted purses (Leather represents fleshly works because it is the clothing of a beast and the purse represents storing up our mammon, which Jesus forbade us to do. This is fleshly works too.). Each purse was unique. (Everyone has their own fleshly struggles, and none can think they are better because they don't have someone else's problem.) I picked up a small brown purse and admired how beautiful it was. I don't think I was planning on buying it, but thought it would be harmless to look. There was no price tag, but it seemed we had been to this shop four years previously and that the purses cost $120 at that time; so I reasoned that they probably cost a little more than that now. (We must be careful not to fall into the trap of admiring the things of the world. It seems harmless initially, but it's a trap to draw us away from the Kingdom and it comes at a high cost, as we will see.) Matthew began to show me something on his phone, but I don't know what it was (representing distractions).(Again, Matthew as a type of Jesus, wrote in Isa. 45:7, I form the light, and create darkness; I make peace, and create evil. I am Jehovah, that doeth all these things. God will allow the enemy, represented by the phone, to distract us and lead us into a temptation to indulge our fleshly desires. i.e., don't look if you don't want to buy. This is what opens the door for the enemy in our lives.) As I was watching his phone screen, I began to mindlessly start eating the purse (representing partaking of flesh). It wasn't until he was done showing me whatever it was that I realized that I had eaten the whole purse. I was a little shocked at the realization of what I had done. (The enemy is sneaky and causes us to unwittingly err from God's ways. In the Old Testament a person who sinned unintentionally had to provide their own sacrifice as in Num. 15:27-28 And if one person sin unwittingly, then he shall offer a she-goat a year old for a sin-offering. 28 And the priest shall make atonement for the soul that erreth, when he sinneth unwittingly, before Jehovah, to make atonement for him; and he shall be forgiven. But in the New Testament the Bible says in Jas. 4:17 To him therefore that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin. So in the New Testament believers have the blood covering of Jesus when they sin unintentionally. He has already taken care of our debts.) I went to the front counter and told the dark-haired woman behind the desk what I had done and at first she just said, “Don't worry about it.” (When we fail we need to get back to justification by faith). But I insisted that I was at fault and had to pay something. (This represents self-works because of condemnation). Then she changed her mind. (I gave permission to the enemy by unbelief in the sacrifice of Jesus) She then told me that that purse cost $2000 (Jesus paid my debt 2000 years ago). (We get into trouble when we try to pay our own debts for our sins because the devil is likely to oblige us.) I was like, “uh-oh”, because I didn't have $2000 and I was not in my home country (We are sojourners in the earth and will never make it to our home country [or promised land] as long as we believe we need to pay our own way). I fumbled through my purse and only had $300. (We never have enough to pay our debt of sin. So, we should not accept condemnation, but trust in the Lord's salvation. We are justified by faith. We must hold on to faith and not self- justification. I thought of the pure Nard that Mary poured on the feet of Jesus in preparation for His burial being worth 300 silver coins. We already have the price paid by His death and burial.) There were also a few bills that looked like 'game-play money', printed on only one side, that were $2000 bills. I wasn't sure how they got there or if they were real, so I decided not to try to use them. (There is no value in play money. You can't buy forgiveness. He paid a debt He did not owe because we owed a debt we could not pay.) I was trying to talk to different people to figure out what I could do but no one could help me. At the end of the dream, we left the building and my husband Matthew (Representing Jesus) went and spoke to someone I didn't see, and we were absolved of the debt and freed to go. Then I woke up.(Amen! Thank you Jesus for paying our debts that we couldn't pay.)

Saxnot also appears in the Old Saxon Baptismal Vow of the 9th century alongside Woden and Thunear. "I renounce all the deeds and words of the devil, Thunear, Wōden and Saxnōt, and all those fiends that are their companions." Based on the date of the Baptismal Vow it appears that Saxnot remained an important deity to the Saxons.

The pub name “The Green Man,” then, seems to have originated in the 17th century and to have referred in its earliest forms to the leaf-covered Green Man common in 16th-century pageantry. As we've seen, Lady Raglan was drawing on this tradition when she named the foliate head “Green Man.” Glance upwards as you approach or enter many of Britain's great Cathedrals and churches, and it is more than likely you will catch sight of the Green Man gazing looking down at you. But who is this strange green figure, surrounded by foliage, often with leaves spilling forth from his mouth? The name ‘Green Man' was first used by Lady Raglan in March 1939 in an article she wrote for the ‘Folklore' journal; before this, they had been known just as ‘foliate heads' and no one had paid them any particular attention. Pre-Christian pagan traditions and superstitions, particularly those related to nature and tree Worship, were still influential in the early Middle Ages. It is therefore perhaps not surprising that the Green Man seems to appear most often in places where there are stretches of ancient woodland, for example in Devon and Somerset and on the edges of the forest areas of Yorkshire and the Midlands. Lady Raglan suggested that in antiquity, the Green Man was ‘the central figure in the May Day celebrations throughout Northern and Central Europe'. As the Green Man is also portrayed with acorns and hawthorn leaves, symbols of fertility in medieval times, this would seem to reinforce the association with spring. Related figures such as Jack in the Green and Green George appear much later in our folklore. The earliest record of a Jack in the Green appears in The Morning Chronicle and London Advertiser in 1775. Woden, the one-eyed god, sits upon his throne in Valhalla, feeding his wolves Geri and Freki by hand. Shields and mail coats fill the warrior-haunted room. Other wolves roam the hall, as well. Only the most valorous warriors have been invited to the feast. Odin welcomes them all. For this is how he will build his great army for Ragnorok – the end of days. Loki's son Fenrir, the great wolf, is bound to the World Tree Yggdrasil. To stop him from consuming the world and the heavens, the Aesir tricked the wolf into being chained to the tree. Fenrir was cunning, though, and he suspected trickery. So the god Tyr placed his sword hand inside of the wolf's mouth as a gesture of goodwill. It is said the gods laughed when the wolf was bound – all except Tyr: he lost his hand. This is why your wrist is called the “wolf's joint.” Two more wolves race across the sky, pursuing the chariots of the Sun and the Moon. Their names are Skoll and Hati Hróðvitnisson. One day, the Sun will be captured and will be swallowed whole. The Moon will be consumed as well. The world will be thrust into darkness and ice will cover everything. Fenrir will break free from his bindings, the World Serpent will rise from the depths of the sea, and the Aesir and humans will be destroyed… all but a very few. This is Ragnorok. Wolves will cause the destruction of all there is.

Alun R facilitates the 1st session of a 2-shot of his in development PbTA game of Dark Age Heroes. This session was organsied as part of The Gauntlet RPG Community's monthly calendar of games (www.gauntlet-rpg.com). Brannoc the Loon is led to Thrydingas, and the other Heroes, by the vision (which might have been drink inspired) of a Christian saint, while Cynderyn the Fae Changeling is sent by his Queen to find out more about Wulfwynn the Storyteller, who is 'respected by the Fae' after the good turn she did Selkies in the last 2-shot. Meanwhile, Sadhbh the Celtic Mystic is torn between the burden of her pride in serving the Old Gods, and the debt she owes Woden the Allfather for his help. There's hospitality before Lord Sidwyll's hounds draw attention to a thinning in the walls of reality, a demonic presence, and 'certainty' that it could be 'drowned'. Then a demon erupts from a well and Brannoc takes more credit for Christ than Sadhbh thinks proper. The heroes head into the night in search of answers and find an unholy bog and a sinkhole before ... a rescuer who needs rescuing ...
Alun R facilitates the 2nd of 2 sessions of his PbtA game in development of dark age heroes confronting the supernatural. This session was organsied as part of The Gauntlet RPG Community's monthly calendar of games (www.gauntlet-rpg.com). When Sadhbh the Celtic Mystic seeks common ground with the spirits of the standing stones things do not go well: Wulfwynn the Storyteller's effort to praise them in song leads to violence and Osbeorn the Hammer of the Gods channels the power of Woden to tear one of the stones from the ground. With discretion the better part of valour the three retreat to consider their options and give Wulfwynn a chance to treat their wounds. There's a dead centurion offering insight, the spirits give Sadhbh another chance, and the mysterious estuary offers visitors who favour music. Then ... a pommel restored, a cohort granted their rest, and regular offerings begin again ...

We meet Osbeorn, the Hammer of the Gods, who believes Woden guided his footsteps to the other Heroes and to the village of Wulfsdael; Maerec the Revenant, with the scar that weeps every time he leaves the others, who sees opportunities for redemption everywhere; Wulfwynn the Storyteller, who has dreamed that all the others will die in the shadow of some standing stones; and Sadhbh the Celtic Mystic, who, burdened by overweening pride, sees the others as tools gifted to her by the Old Gods of her people. There's tension in the Great Hall, inexplicable shadows, and a sinister ancient hillfort. Then ... Sadhbh held and Osbeorn driven to protect her; Wulfwynn calls for attention; and Maerec recognises their foes from a time before Rome abandoned Britannia, so ... skeletal legionaries ...

This session was organsied as part of The Gauntlet RPG Community's monthly calendar of games (www.gauntlet-rpg.com). We meet Beornoth, the loner (and lonely?) Hammer of the Gods whose sight has shown him the tracks of 'something' leading to the Saxon settlement of Hrothford; Walden the Arrow, the mercenary Hunter who believes that Woden wouldn't let him come here if he wasn't needed; Thrydwulf the handsome Storyteller who wants to find the meaning of a tale told of Hrothford; and Hywel, the Fae Changeling wrapped in the seeming of a young Lord, who senses a disturbance among the spirits of air and water. We also meet some of the inhabitants of Hrothford and witness an argument in Lord Ailnoth's Hall. History is revealed, family tensions observed, and potential enmities established. Then, a water spirit driven off, a surprising witch, and a haunted moorland ... before the screaming begins ...
Woden was a war god, and he appeared in heroic literature as the protector of heroes; fallen warriors joined him in Valhalla. The wolf and the raven were dedicated to him. His magical horse, Sleipnir had eight legs, teeth inscribed with runes, and the ability to gallop through the air and over the sea. Woden was the great magician among the gods and was associated with runes. He was also the god of poets. In outward appearance he was a tall, old man, with flowing beard and only one eye (the other he gave in exchange for wisdom). He was usually depicted wearing a cloak and a wide-brimmed hat and carrying a spear. In this story, we see him as a creator god

Welcome to another two-part episode of LOST IN THE RABBIT HOLE -- this is PART ONE. In this episode, we cover just some of the variants of The Wild Hunt tales, which come from Europe, but can also be found in some form all over the world. The Wild Hunt is a tale of a pack of spectral beings riding horses, sometimes flying, late at night. Sometimes there are demon dogs, or other packs of animals. These tales are moral tales, with the riders or hunters presaging something really bad -- war, plague, discord, or even the death of the person who sees the riders. We see in this episode (both parts) that the frame of the pack of ghost hunters carries across cultures, but with some interesting shifts and detail changes. PART ONE: focuses on the background of the tale frame; from WODEN/ODIN leading the pack to the HERLE KING, this is an old lore that is still somehow very elastic. Part one includes the history of FRAU BERCHTA , one of the female figures to lead the pack of night riders.PART TWO: shares other cultures' tales, including THE NIGHT OF A HUNDRED DEMONS from Japan, HAWAIIAN NIGHT MARCHERS, the Canadian New Years tale of THE BEWITCHED CANOE, and the Old American West tale of the GHOST RIDERS.

We experience wonder when we realize our true size.On clear nights, we ride a speck of dust as it circles an 11,000-degree fireball shooting through a limitless vacuum at 52 times the speed of a rifle bullet. And that fireball is one of billions of fireballs in our galaxy. And our galaxy is one of billions of galaxies. Looking at the stars, we know our true size.On rainy days, we thumb through the fading scrapbooks of our minds, celebrating small and silly victories, reflecting on old mistakes, examining events that will cease to be when we are gone. And again, we know our true size. Jorge Luis Borges speaks of this infinite, inner universe in The Witness.“The man, while still a boy, had seen the face of Woden, had seen holy dread and exultation, had seen the rude wooden idol weighed down with Roman coins and heavy vestments, seen the sacrifice of horses, dogs, and prisoners. Before dawn he would be dead and with him would die, never to return, the last firsthand images of the pagan rites. The world would be poorer when this Saxon was no more.” “We may well be astonished by space-filling acts which come to an end when someone dies, and yet something, or an infinite number of things, die in each death. There was a day in time when the last eyes to see Christ were closed forever. The battle of Junín and the love of Helen died with the death of some one man.” “What will die with me when I die? What pathetic or frail form will the world lose? Perhaps the voice of Macedonio Fernandez, the image of a horse in the vacant space at Serrano and Charcas, a bar of sulfur in the drawer of a mahogany desk?” Roy Batty, the leader of the replicants in Blade Runner (1982) spoke of his own inner universe just before he died.“I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhauser gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain. Time to die.” Likewise, in Richard Hoggart's First and Last Things, an old woman observes,“Since Penelope Noakes of Duppas Hill is gone, there is no one who will ever call me Nellie again.” I mention these things only because you populate your private universe with people and events of your own choosing. If you don't like the world you live in, you can change it.The people who occupy the space around you can choose to be there against your will. But you, alone, control who it is that occupies the real estate of your mind. Roy H. Williams

Due to a schedule snafu, we are chatting among ourselves, but that is okay- it is us, we have tons to say. Ok, we'll be digging into news soon, but first let's talk about our Nerdtacular impressions and what we have been doing in and out of game. Mew- FF14, but more on that later. Nerdtacular souvenirs; con crud. Black Temple: Fun blast from the past but not nearly as painful as Molten Core was. You got to see the beginnings of the tank swap mechanic, but it wasn't quite there. Taunt was about useless as a tank, but it was a DPS paradise with many ‘kill it until it is dead' bosses, or at least boss phases. Tet- Nerdtacular was amazing and needs to happen again! I love going to Snowbird, it's very relaxing (when the thermostat behaves) and really enjoying seeing everyone, attending the panels, and playing games. Doing the live podcast this year was definitely a highlight and we'll do one again, next time the opportunity presents itself. Rogue Class Mount and Order Hall Campaign - Done! May just be my favorite story and order hall so far. Hunter is leveling up, just hit 108 about 1/3 rd of the way through Highmountain (Azusa is complete). Working on his engineering while leveling which has been interesting. I like the story bits and the cool items to make. Really enjoyed the fact I can buy the Beastmaster hidden appearance for gold and it's a bow! Running with a Core Hound and Hati right now for companions, and I love, love, love, that you can just have Volley go off on your auto-attacks. Brings back the flavor of Volley without having to manage it. Played a bit more of Secret World Legends, playing on the Dragon side as a Gunslinger (insert fake Mkallah shock here) and really enjoying the story (hey! I found the story!) in the game. MK- TALK ABOUT STUFF Games- Dammit, Mills (resulted in Castlevania), GnG D&D (now am I the note keeper), Return of Thors Thunder on Woden's Day NT- so many good things, coffee with Skky, Rocker, Diji, OLF and rotating guests in the atrium. Hiking, in the snow, in socially acceptable crocs, Marvel Munchkin with the Hordeling (Darth Amber won her first time out) AIE News NOMADS Just a reminder, if you're interested in checking out Rust, Corley has set up a private server for the AIE community.

Nerdtacular preview and thoughts: Tetsemi: Just a brief WoW update, I got my rogue to 110 and about ½ way through the class story (still need to finish two leveling zones) and got concordance on my other 110's (Mage, DK, Paladin, and Druid) and now working on their off-spec weapons. Nerdtacular is one of my favorite get together's for the AIE guild and the greater Frogpants community. There's a ton to do both at Nerdtacular and at the Snowbird resort as well. Non-nerdtacular activities I'd recommend. Take the tram to the top of the mountain for the view (if you're okay with heights) and ride the mountain coaster. The coaster takes you through the forest and some very pretty sites. If you've got kids with you, go for the wristband. For Nerdtacular itself, check out the game room (We miss you Ralffie) and you may find a new favorite game to play or watch. Cyberwaif: As always, my computer time is nil, but I am getting back into my first love, RPGs. Our old Monday group is back together, and we have gone through two weeks of a new game that was recently kick started, City of Mist. The starter PDF is available at https://www.cityofmist.co/. It's a noir game where everyone is the mortal representation of a mythical power. Though, Tet may be the human embodiment of too much gin. We are playing through a premade adventure, trying to solve three mysterious murders and a robbery, preferably before Halloween night. My Thor's Day thunder group has been moved to Woden's Day, though we are on a hiatus due to real life schedules. And, my every other Friday group with the GnGs crew is in full swing! Great game so far and the DM has a good combination of battle and player development, just like I like it. Oh, and I am playing a Cthulhu powered crazy warlock from Thay, which makes things….. Interesting. If you want to follow along, we do stream and the the game is available after the fact on their Yourtube channel and on Itunes, search for Geeks and Geeklets. The D&D game is marked “The Forgotten Prince.” And, word to the wise- this game is saltier than a drunken raid night. You have been warned. Now, to piggy back on what Tet said. Yes, if you are staying at Snowbird, it is good to plan for a free day to do all of the activities and get a wristband! In years past, if you did the buffet breakfast, you got a free tram ticket, so if they still do that, it is a great savings. We like to take the tram up and then take the mile hike down to the ski lift. As for food, it is expensive, but, we love the Aerie, especially if they have any happy hour deals going. And, the Atrium opens at 7 for coffee and breakfast. For food, we also regularly take a trip into SLC for Sushi Groove- the sushi is great, the music can be loud, and they have fun desserts. Check them out at http://www.sushigrooveutah.com/. We also hit up the Target down the mountain for room food like lunch meat and yogurt since the rooms have small refrigerators. As for NT itself, besides all of the panels and the concert, there is the soon to be world famous game room,
