A fine post!
And you can be forgiven for cross-posting to us since it's sailing
related.
Of course everyone knows that Odin "send[s] the wind and turn[s] the
tide!"

My thanks for the acceptance of the cross-post, I merely worked the
reply button and hence caught you folk as well.

On more sailing/Asatru related matters, what is interesting is not
only that Odin is seen as having much to do with sailing in the
Northern Tradition, but also sailors of the region would call upon
Ran, and Aegir, and even Thor at times, all depending upon the effect
they wanted to achieve. A great seafaring folk, and I hope to one day
take part in the construction of a Viking age ship and sail up the
Parramatta River to Parramatta Park for a gathering. Now that would
be a sight to see. Well, a few more years yet before such a thing can
be done... but it's good to have a goal. (BTW, for those who are
interested, Parramatta is a suburb of Sydney, Australia).

There is a raiding party, from New Zealand, that is ready and poised
to raid Australia and remove the Bledisloe Cup...


But you said you were Irish, nazi boy?

What gives?
