Just random miscellanea of the weekend, in no particular order . . .

The notion of Set hitting on Valkyries is one that will haunt me for quite some time . . .

Feeling the joyful resonance of Het-hert rippling out in a concert by Loren Davidson as he got the crowd laughing, singing along, pegging beach balls at each other. ([livejournal.com profile] jenett: yes, that Loren.)

Picking up a stone sphere and feeling reminded of Yinepu; putting it down and getting that sudden, "Hey! What are you putting that down for?" feeling. Weighing it a moment, and then buying it for Him.

Feeling for the first time the enfolding embrace of Aset's wings, draped over my shoulders and down my sides, as I held [livejournal.com profile] brooksmoses in the middle of a very dark night.


And on the material side of the world, I had a really brief encounter with someone I think was a Dionysius priest or at least a follower (he was carrying a bottle of booze and a thyrsus) which made me ponder my brewing ... the stuff tasted great. And I got told what was in it. *hand-rubbing cackle*

The best part of attending a Discordian High Mass is that I know the entire liturgy. And thus had the following sanctified disruption, which pleases me most mightily:
    Crowd: Hail Eris! (and various other chaotic shouting)
    Me: Hail yes!
    Officiant: You've been reading ahead.
    Small child next to me: That was a bad pun!
    Me: That was sacred liturgy.
    Child: That was a bad pun.
    Officiant: That was sacred liturgy!

Did he get anywhere? I mean ... from what I understand, they lack .... equipment.

Re:


What are valkyries supposed to lack? Lore shows them with both weapons and sex lives, so I am not sure what is supposed to be missing.

Re:


Hm ... I have not seen the lore involving sex lives. *shrugs* References, please? (:

Sorry, I'm at work and don't have good references handy. This page (http://haldjas.folklore.ee/folklore/vol7/llone1.htm ) looks good, but I can't double check the specifics. Our Troth (http://www.thetroth.org/resources/ourtroth/wlkrja.html) is generally solid and mentions valkyrie marriages.

I just have a mental image of leather-jacket-clad biker Set and the Undocumented Features Valkyrior, who are generally, well, biker types. ;)

I feel myself drawn into this, it's so visual and tactile and kinetic all at once. And the right feeling for the day for me, too.

Re:


I also admire the ambiguity and universality of the way you expressed it. It really gives me the sense of being drawn under the wings as well. I think that the "image" (beyond visual, though) will stay with me.

Bask in your success and never tell them it was an accident!
