All right, I'll bite on this one... unfortunately, the locals mostly won't be able to read or reply to this 'til Tuesday.

Did you think of any deity in particular when you met me? How about now that you know me? And why?

None in particular at the time, as, I think, we were all in our "uh... we're eclectic and solitary" phases in 1994 and no one had any idea who was going to hit them on the head (except insofar as I'd dealt with His Nibs and Freyja on and off in high school). However, it amuses me greatly that I was the first one who got the dunking in the Old Man's bucket, and yet you're the one shaking the pom-poms these days... :)

Ah, old times. ;)

I didn't, really, but finding out you were an Odinista did explain a few things.

And if I may, I'd like to turn the question back at you about me. :)

[walkyrja.livejournal.com]

Considering we first met on and LPMud...it's hard to say what I thought then :)

But yeah, the Old Man showed his hand pretty soon thereafter.

I knew you were an Odinist long before I actually met you in person, of course, so I was actively looking for signs of Him, and I definitely did get an Odiny vibe from you. I also got hints of Frigga, Freyja, and Hella. (The Hella part may have been influenced by the cirumstances, though.)

I got a sense of Him around Diana too, although the Frigga vibe also seems to be very strong in her.

At times I get such a strong Odin vibe from you (of course I *know* you're all about the Old Man) that I can practically hear him saying, "Want some candy, little girl?" I think he and I would have one of those relationships that is a wild ride, but wrong, so very wrong. *g*

"Would you like a cookie? Or perhaps the secrets of the universe?"

Seriously, I think that's the hallmark of the Odinic experience for a *lot* of women-- "man, this is wrong, but OMG teh hawt." Maybe not in leetspeak. But yeah.

That so sums it up, yes. Especially the quote.

Hee, well, I'm glad I'm not the only person who gets that impression. Lucky for me I tend to like the nice, safe guys. *g*

"man, this is wrong, but OMG teh hawt."

Oh, boy, do I know this one.

Well, now I put you as an Odin-head, of course, though I could probably give a fairly categorical list of the other deities you work with, and possibly even to what degree (Gee, I wonder why? ;p).

But back when I met you, I didn't think that way. You were the really nice, pretty girl who was teaching me to cook enough to be of use to auntiematter at my first campout for archangelkhaos and mendou's engagement handfasting.

I dunno, in retrospect I'd probably label the energy you had at the time as vaguely Ostara-ish - young, enthusiastic, helpful, cute, bouncy...

What, so now she reminds you of a one-eyed, grizzled old man?
;)

[ardaniel]

Doesn't she remind *everyone* of a one-eyed, grizzled old man? ;)

[tomobedlam.livejournal.com]

hey! thats not nice!

[emberleo.livejournal.com]

It's not so much that she reminds me of the Old Man as that she reminds me entirely of herself, one point of which includes a known and prominent soft link to the Old Man. Make sense?

You mean like this?

[emberleo.livejournal.com]

Pretty much!

I actually met you a little over a year before I actually came to Asatru or Hrafnar. I went to Dead Guys' Night with Kim and Cynan to get a taste of what to expect since I was to be a part of their wedding. I felt so much like an outsider I kept to myself a lot. SO I can't say what i thought when I first met you. As I have a vivid memory of you welcoming/comforting me when I was claimed by Himself a year later, I obviously am a bit biased now. Now I definately link you with The Allfather. However, looking back from here at that VERY first meeting, it's so obvious, but at the time I didn't think in those terms.
