LAMBY IS A MAAAAAAAMA

Tuesday, May 20th, 2008

Yep that little Bottle Raised sheep that Steph got at the sale barn because she felt sorry for it. Had her first baby, a little ram lamb. He is healthy happy friendly and all black except for one white spot on his forhead. I wanted to name him Barak O’Rama, Or Jeremiah White Spot, after all his chickens come home to roost. But Steph decided that Buster is a better name for her little ram. Time will tell weather or not he has the Horns that his daddy has. but it looks like he has his Momma’s coat and is a hair sheep. They are really cute together Lamby is the perfect little mother protecting her baby.

The horses were amusing because they saw the little ram and then bent down their long noses to get a good sniff of it. As the ram wags its tail and hopps around joyfully.

Yeah and this one is not going to be feed. He is too pretty a lamb for that. He is going to spend his days as a stud ram.

The Voluspa

Tuesday, May 20th, 2008

I feel that is most appropriate to start with the Voluspa, as such everything has a definitive beginning and end however all Spae is up for interpretation. I would also like to point out that the actions predicted in spae although difficult are changeable. Therefore, it is very well possible that ragnarok will not happen as foretold if the key events leading up to it can be altered. Only the Norns know all that is going into the tapestry of life and the patter can change at their whim. Although it also heeds warning that after the terrible battle at Ragnarok that the earth will be reborn by those that hide deep within the roots of Yggdrassil, as the children of the gods rebuild the other nine worlds led by Baldur.

The last discussion I partook of the Voluspa had been derailed as we hit a HOLY CRAP moment going through it line by line when in stanza 14 when they mention of the dwarves and specifically Gloi. The Heavner runestone in translates as a protection to or from Gloi. About the time the Vikings were tearing across Vinland, there was a large earthquake in the New Madrid seismic zone that would include modern-day Heavener. As such since the Dwarves ring in the earthquakes, it pretty much guarantees the existence of Viking settlers in Oklahoma. I just wish that in the early 1900’s they wouldn’t have desecrated graves looking for Indian artifacts as although it was noted that there were items of no known native American tribe they were sold off as souvenirs as Native American or just destroyed.

But I digress the Voluspa can be found in the beginning of the poetic edda
