Freya Indeed, you are 70% erudite, 100% sensual, 37% martial, and 83% saturnine.

Freya, twin sister of Frey, is a member of the Vanir family, the Scandinavian clan of Fertility Gods. Like her counterparts, Aphrodite, Isis, Venus, and Ishtar (Greek, Egyptian, Roman and Indian mythology), she concerned herself with sex and all that goes with it. She was quite fond of cats, by the way. In fact, she was said to travel about in a magnificent chariot drawn by her two regal black cats named Bygul and Trjegul (Pronunciation? You're on your own...) that were rumoured to be possessed. After serving Freya for 7 years, the cats were rewarded by being turned into witches, disguised as black cats. Even many of her personal traits seem cat-like. For instance, she always wore a brilliant jewel studded collar symbolizing her authority over the fiery aspect of sexuality. Besides being the Goddess of love, cats, the moon, magic, and of course sex, Freya was also skilled in a form of magic called "seithr" (meaning "sayer" or "seer") which consisted of putting oneself into a deep meditative trance so that the secrets of the future might be revealed. She also owned a feather coat which she could use to fly between the worlds.

Nicked from Minerva, er, crusherdisciple. Not too sure about the cats or the Scandinavianness there - Hecate or Kali are nearer my style...

Just been out shopping and spent more than I planned to in a greyhound rescue charity shop... but I have an absolutely kick-arse new set of speakers for Charlotte. Only cost me £5 and they're a million times better than the ones I paid £8 for when I first set Charlotte up here. I think I could take them up to half of their maximum volume before the neighbours lynched me

Also bought a brand new, thicker, neon-pink long line for Squish, and a massive quantity of fresh beef bones - three huge leg bones cut into sections and two bags of assorted smaller bones - from the butcher. Lugging it all back to Mum's on the bus was a bit of a trial, but such happy munching dogs I have now...

Sorry but I have to say this: IT'S NOT FRELLING NORSE MYTHOLOGY!!!!!! IT'S SCANDINAVIAN!!!!!! Last time I checked I was still Swedish... Not Norse.


Sorry about that. I see it everywhere and I'm getting tired of it.

It was the quiz said it! But I'll remember for another time.

Still prefer Hecate anyway, grump, grump...

I know it was the quizz... it wasn't directed to you - just a random outcry about it... ;)

Edited it now, look!

LOL! Cool! :D

Pigeons...

Tirelessly flapping its wings, a pigeon sets off from the Canadian coast. Once more it sets itself to brave the Atlantic divide. Firmly gripped in its claws it bears... What does it bear? Ah, me. The joy of surprises... (G).

Suddenly it stops. Well, glides a while... Where must it go? It had new instructions, but it has mislaid them... But there is memory ( we'll go with Hugin and Munin in the flavour of this posting). Taking its bearings in that strange avian manner that birds do ( bears taking their bearings in an avian manner would be simply silly!), it sets its flight. Maggie may be able to help... she will hold the... the thing... for the chosen one...

I'm not going to guess. I hate spoilers. I'm just going to wait and see... but thank you :D

There are two things at the top of my list that both begin with C - but you knew that already. If it's not either of those it will doubtless be eqully good. I put myself entirely in your hands, dear ;)

But that then leaves me the problem of... um.... where to put my hands? (G)

...you're right, bad choice of words. It's a healthy imagination...
