CHRIS EVANS New York Comic Con Panel (Oct 14, 2023)

It’s a constant battle (of wits mainly) between me, the HOA, and sometimes the city over my yard. I hate working in the heat and humidity, but the plants love to grow in it! My aesthetic is wild and I realize this is because I grew up in the woods, but also because I hate being told to maintain my yard in a way that is not ecofriendly and classist.

today I gave in and started to weed. There’s wheat from the one time we had a straw bale at Halloween. There’s bedstraw, thistles, Virginian creeper, poison ivy, dandelions, violets, nasty bush honeysuckle and Callery pear. Most of these I’m fine with, but I hate the last two.

As I was working I saw evidence of leaf-cutter bees in old stems from last year. There was a butterfly and lots of wood bees. I also saw a tiny preying mantis. I heard lots of birds singing and have a robin nesting on a garage light. I also saw a hummingbird, the first of the season, and a young possum.

My yard isn’t about showing off to my neighbors. It’s always been about the wildlife and they like it a little wild.

“The musician and the listener. If this is love between two strangers watching each other from afar, that rough, burning moment when you rush in and kiss is the show.” ― Tablo

A symbol is an image or object which represents an abstract concept, often having to do with one's religious beliefs. Every civilization, from the most ancient to the present, has made use of symbols to make the abstract concrete and visible and to provide assurance that a higher power was interested in, and sympathetic towards, the struggles of human beings.

The symbols used in Norse mythology had to do not only with supernatural entities but also with the challenges of everyday life and the mystery of what awaited after death. Some of these symbols can definitely be dated to the Viking Age (c. 790 - c. 1100 CE) but were no doubt in use much earlier. Other symbols seem to have developed later (between c. 1100 - c. 1300) after Christianity had established itself in Scandinavia.

There were many powerful symbols from the Norse-Viking period ranging from the wolf (for protection), to the horse (protection in travel), the troll cross (an amulet that protected one from trolls), the image of the Vegvisir ('way guide', a late Icelandic symbol which helped one find one's way) and the Web of Wyrd (web of fate), as well as the runes which were thought to evoke mystical powers. Generally, however, ten symbols were the most popular; these appear most often in stories, images, and as amulets:

Yggdrasil – the World Tree

The Valknut – Odin's Knot

The Swastika/Sun-Wheel

The Aegishjalmur – Helm of Awe

Mjolnir – Thor's Hammer

The Sventhorn – Sleep Thorn

Gungnir – Odin's Spear

The Ship

Huginn and Muninn – Odin's Ravens

The Triskelion – Odin's Horns
