Addendum to "Fun with Accents"

[lwood]

If you should happen to put the words: gothic odin into your favorite search engine, you will get results both beautiful and strange.

Actually, it's usually both. No, wait, okay, that's back to strange.

Then, after digging through a lot of crap, another pretty.

-- Lorrie might get that wall plaque, though.

PS to the linked: Odin != Sauron (but would the nine thralls who met Bölverk Bale-Worker agree?) and Irminsul != Gungir, and wtf is up with that ley line thing there? In the language of my contemporaries, "LERN 2 PLAY, NUB!"

Oooh - Love the first one. I have an older version(i.e. - made from hydrastone instead of resin) of that wall sculpture. It's good, even if it's broken 2-3 times(bless Daniel - he keeps glueing it back together ;-). Shouldn't be a prob with the resin one though.

And, according to the artist's website (http://www.dryaddesign.com/index.php/prod_detail/odin/), comes in a sensible stone finish as well as a wood one that looks like the original carving.

But as for that first picture--the nom de Net of the artist isn't a put-on, and he really is a Mormon. o.O

The wall plaque is very nice. Whoever sculpts that line does lovely work.

And yeah, that ley-line thing is Out There. The Venus Illuminated (or whatever it was with the strange 'spear' pendant) is the kind of thing that gives us pagan-types such a bad name.

The internet really is Full of Things!

As I suspected, it's a Dryad Design (http://www.dryaddesign.com/index.php/prod_detail/odin/) piece.

*cough* That was an Irminsul pendant, which most heathens would take as a Týr thing and not an Odin thing at all. Without veering off into a rant about Dumézil, the only other way I could think of to stitch those to things together is via the opera Norma--where Irminsul is described as a Celtic war god (hooboy).

It is! And also stuff!

By the by, as I chug through the Odin Issue, I find Hvitvara's contributions to be stirring and goose-pimpling in all appropriate ways. Do let her know for me!
