-Hugs immediately.-
Konnichiwa ^_^ I am here now.

woot! -glomps onto lio-

The military, huh? I hope it all works out the way you want it.

-purrs at Liosh-

Ooft! -Falls over.-
@___@ 'ello.
Military huh? >_<

Hey Serra! ^_^

Sweeney Todd is on TCM. The one with Angela Lansbury <3 What a switch from Murder, She Wrote

Either that or NOAA. There's a NOAA outpost where I used to go to school, where I originally thought about teaching- before I remembered; "Oh- I was in highschool. Fuck those sons of bitches, we need corpral punishment!"

I'm not sure. Bah; -lies down.-

I have no idea what NOAA is. . . yes I do. National Ocean Atlatic something. I know they're wonderful for watching weather patterns.
-Pokes his side.-

ack!
-pokes back-
They also discovered the Bloop. The cry of Cthulhu! owo

-Pokes again.-
XD Cthulu is evil. I watched the Call of Cthulu, old version. It was so campy. I want to read the H.P. Lovecraft stuff though.

Lol, some people believe it's true. I have the book "Necronomicon" by "Simon", a book that reveals the seals to summon and control the demons of Lovecraft. As opposed to my Book of Solomon.

I've heard of it. I dunno what to make of it.

I'll keep my personal beliefes to myself, but I will say that I wear the seal of solomon whereever I go. The Book of Solomon is over 3000 years old, but the story is that King Solomon used them to trap and expel demons, but that he could also summon them, keeping their souls bound in the circles. The Seal of Solomon, itself, repels evil forces and protects the wearer from evil spirits.

That seems more plausible, but don't forget it is all based on Pagan beliefs.

-blinks.-

No, it's based on Judeo beliefs :P.
These were devised by King Solomon himself, but legends has it that he learned the seals by communing with angels (Spirits that act as messengers between God and man, slightly different than Catholic Angels.((Jews dont believe in a heaven or a hell that mankind can achieve access to)))

What? I'm a scholar :P

-has a Mjölnir necklace-

o .o b

@___@ Croni confusing!

-Looks at Trak.- What is a mjolnr necklace?

Nordic mythology, Thor's hammer~ o uo b

My ancestral religion and belief mhmm~

I think Luna said she had one of those too.

And hi there Trak :3

Trak; Ooooh. I did not know. I'm not entirely well adverse in religions.

Not many people these days have viking blood coursing through their veins~!!!!

-proud chest puff-

O uO b

Mjolmir is the Hammer of Thor, Brother of the Giant Loki, and son of Odin the Great God of the Aesir. Mjolmir gave Thor great strength and the power of thunder to strike down his enemies, and who's fury could be seen in the stormy skies. Interestingly he shares many characteristics with Sampson of the Jews and Herculiese and Heraclese of Rome and Greece.

-pats Lio- Sorry, how'd I confuse you?

-Pokes Trak's chest.- If I use a pin would it deflate? >_>


Croni; Loki. . . -Blinks.- NOW I UNDERSTAND THE ANIME OF THE MYTHICAL LOKI!!
-Falls over.-
I'm less confused now.

Lol. Loki is the Trickster, and bane of Thor.
His sons are the great beasts of the 9 worlds, including the Midgard Snake who wraps itself around the tree of life, who ultimately kills Thor. His daughter, however is the most profound; a Beauty- an Aesir. But because she was the daughter of Loki, she, like her brothers, was cast out and away, but unlike the other 3, she was sent to the realm of the unglorious Dead, the realm which took her name, and influenced our own idea of what the underworld is and was, as her name is Hel.

Croni knows too much. -Nods.-

Her place was supposed to be very cold, not very hot, though. XD And I herd that she was half corpse, too, from a book of Norse tales.

I wasn't the class encyclopedia for nothing.
The things I know and the things I can tell you...
I can tell you why Hitler wanted to kill the Jews, and yet he himself had been friends with Jews his entire life. I can tell you why The Torah hasnt changed in 6000 years, or why brick dust drives away spirits. I can tell you the roots of mankind, the origins of the Kama Sutra, and even the history of civilization itself.

I can tell you stories of love, lust, and blood, I can tell you about Seriel Killers, and how many are active this very day. I can even tell you the name of Jack the Ripper.

It's not that I know too much- it's that I never forget this kind of information. ;)

Thor was the patron god for Farmers because he was related to weather and crops. He had a the mighty hammer Mjölnir that would hit any target that it was thrown at without fail and come back to the hand that threw it, the magical belt that doubled his strength whenever he wore it and a pair of goats, Tanngniost and Tanngrisni, that pulled his chariot across the sky. Whenever he was overcome with hunger, Thor would devour his goats, only to return them to life with Mjölnir. XD


He did get tricked a lot though o .o'' ... Can't remember the story fully but he lost a contest in witch he had down a whole goblet of mead, defeat and old woman, and lift a giant cat. The goblet was actual magical and it was linked to the ocean and there for thor was unable to drink it all, the old woman turned out to be either old age or death... Can't remember but no one can defeat old age or death and the giant cat was actually the Jormungand the giant serpent that coiled around the world tree and needless to say that that thing is considered the weight of the world so yeah... Thor even had to dress up as a woman to get his hammer back after it was stolen by loki and given to the frost giants XD

Oh the abyse of Hel, where misery and sadness dwels. The land of moist dampness, the swamp of souls.

Our Concept of Hell is shaped by three factors, the Jewish Idea of where the Dead go, the Greek ideal of Tarturus, the deepest Bowels of Hadies, where rivers of fire flow, and the domain of Hel, where misery and agony are all that you know.
Damned, and seperated from the glory of the gods- its interesting how these three beliefs share only 1 connection. Isn't it? :P

Croni; Nobody knows the name of Jack the Ripper. >_< How do ye know?


Trak; Interesting. o_O

I'll stick to Asian history. @___@

I like my Norse mythology o .o...

;) Because I'm good. The name of Jack the Ripper was James Kelly, a Leather worker who murdered his wife by carving her up with his leather knife. Contrary to popular belief, the butchery of Jacks crimes was not surgical at all. However, the types of tears we see with their bodies are the same you see when cutting leather. James Kelly had also escaped from the Asylum after fascioning a key to his cell. He then murdered another prostitute. Then, the Ripper murders began. When James Kelly left Britain for the United states, however, the murders stopped- in Britain. Soon after his arrival in New York, a Prostitute was found carved up like the Rippers victims had been in White Chappel. From New York, Kelly began travelling around the USA doing odd jobs, but every town he went to had a "Ripper style killing" as the papers described them. Eventually, Kelly returned to the very asylum he escaped so many years before. When his doctor asked him where he had gone, Kelly only said "I've done terrible terrible things."
He then told them about his travels, and as we look back at the logs of time, we see these other murders always happened in the towns he listed as visiting. Better yet, when you compare the modern sketch of Jack the Ripper based on the descriptions given by witnesses, and compare it to the picture of James Kelly- they are a dead match.

Croni; You're Sherlock Holmes incarnate.


Trak; It does seem interesting from the little I gather in romance novels.

Nah, I'm just a good student. A real detective did the footwork.

@Lio~ It does have a bit of romance to it. But it also has a dark side. At least its straight forward with its dark side though.

Croni; I read too, just not the right stuff it seems.

Trak; I've seen it in romance novels so yeah. lol

Nah, you just probably had more of a life than I did growing up.

Unlike some more um... "modern" religions that hide and/or bend truths to cover up their secrets. Older religions might not showcase the evil but they don't hide it either. Like Loki and his evil schemes to Zeus devouring his first wife to gain her knowledge and power.

Croni; Hardly. I spent a lot of time around old people.

Trak; o_o I must devour Zeus' wife to gain knowledge. I don't care for the power.

Lol, beats dusty old books :P

@Lio~ XD

I think you might be a bit late on the whole devouring bit > u<

Croni; No, instead I had dusty old wrinkly humans. I would of rather the books.

Trak; I miss everything.
