Been checking these guys out lately. Damn, I like it.

Here’s my band HMELU playing one of our favorite songs: Finntroll’s Fornfamnad. This is what a heavy metal orchestra sounds like (in its silliest form, at least). Listen/purchase: Fornfamnad by Heavy Metal Ensemble of Lawrence University

Oh, but don't you need molds for that? I mean, how would I shape it...?

Unfortunately anon, that is already happening. Some people honestly think that non-Europeans shouldn't practice Nordic heathenism. It is fucking bullshit, but unfortunately it is the opinion of some.

This happens. I get hate about it quite often and I'm only mixed race. I have direct northern european roots, but living in South America and being half another ethnicity is reason enough to invalidate my religious choices.

Unfortunately it is a thing, yes, but it's pathetic. Don't let anyone tell you what to believe in and what not. It's your very own private matter and no one else's.

Do you believe in any form of magic?

Yes, several. What is your dream job?

Living life to live it, and enjoy it. I think the concept of having a job, to make money, to survive and never getting to live is sad, controlling and should be done away with. What are your views on love and getting married/being in a serious relationship? Do you think love is ever worth it?

Love is certainly worth it, starting with loving ourselves. I think that long term relationships are great, when both people are truly a part of it, and honest with themselves and each other about what they want, need, and are doing. It's about sharing what you are, do, and have, not spending every minute together. Marriage is a system of control.

If you could live anywhere (fictional place or not), where would you live and who would you be?

So many dreams... Middle Earth, and an elf, or a Dunadain; The wizarding world of Harry Potter, and well a wizard of course; The future of Star Wars, and a Sith Lord; and so very many others....

If you were a tarot card which one would you be from the Major Arcana? Why?

The Fool, ever journeying, ever discovering, never sitting still, never taking anything so seriously as to become mired in it. We are one and always zero.

What is you favorite food? Can you cook it?

Hrmmm, this is changing. I always said lasagna, but now that I am living paleo, other than the occasional cheat, that is kind of out. I love a great steak, or prime rib, curries are wonderful, as are stir fries. Sweet potatoes are the bomb. And yes, I can cook pretty much anything.

Describe what you want your future home to be like.

I would prefer to live out of my pack, and not be tied down, or a hand built cabin deep in the woods/mountains. Perhaps a converted cave.

Who is the living person (famous or not) you would like to meet most?

Andrew Skurka is high on that list. All of my online friends are higher. Neil Gaiman is also quite high on that list. If you could change one thing about your appearance what would it be?

I would be younger appearing, forever.

What makes you most happy?

So many things; making someone smile or feel better, accomplishing a difficult task, reading a good book, being out in nature, solving a puzzle or problem.

If you had to visualize beauty, what would you see?

Smiles, genuine smiles. A pristine wilderness. Wild animals doing what is in their nature...

Answer this with ten random facts about yourself, then send it to ten of your favourite followers. :)

I despise modern society, especially US society.

I want to escape into the woods, perhaps starting with the Appalachian Trail.

I am a hopeless romantic.

I can use a sewing machine.

I have given up eating all grains.

I love horror movies.

The first time I watched the LOTR movies (in theaters) I stood and screamed at the screen at the parts where they changed things.

I write poetry at times.

I was a proud part of the Occupy movement in Washington, DC, and camped out through it's entirety, even after we were kicked out of the park.

I am not a fan of Adventure Time.

I am going to break the rules and not send it to 10 people, but I encourage everyone to give out 10 random facts about themselves, and tag me so I can be sure to see them.

stormson is arriving into the shore

when he goes down the sea,

to fight strangers we've never seen, 

he feels nothing

untill he comes home again

he swings his sword

delivering the earth new and old blood

I wish there are more bruises to heal

with my warm touch again

as my body and soul are his, my bed is his bed too

but on every first night we lay on the ground

and we make love on the valley, under the stars

and he feels something again

he feels bliss.
