Interesting. Our cat is named Loki, but I prefer the Norse god of Mischief to trickster...it has a more debonair ring to it ;)

I love the Norse Mythologies and to find them retold with modern revisions is nice But The tale, Riddles of Horn is a modern retelling of the Icelandic tale of the theft of Brisingamen, the magical necklace worn by the Lady Frejya, by the Norse trickster god, Loki Gjallar ("ringing horn"), is the horn carried by Heimdall, the watchman of the gods. It lies hidden beneath the third root of the World Tree Yggdrasil. With a soft tone Heimdall announced the arrival of the gods, but sounded it more forcefully in times of danger. At Ragnarok, the final battle between Good and evil, Heimdall will sound Gjallar one final time and will be heard all over the world, calling the gods and the warriors to the battlefield. http://www.pantheon.org/ http://www.thorshof.org/edda.htm -- Bill http://www.vlca.net On Tuesday 09 December 2003 20:11, Charles wrote: > The Riddles of Horn > by Thorskegga Thorn > _______________________________________________ Sndbox mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://a8.mewebdns-a8.com/mailman/listinfo/sndbox_sandboxmail.net _______________________________________________ Sndbox mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://a8.mewebdns-a8.com/mailman/listinfo/sndbox_sandboxmail.net
