Getting stopped randomly in the street by people trying to find weed or the Greek Orthodox temple, that’s what.
Ay bruh, you know the way to Eleusis?? I’m tryna get faded on that kykeon and meet Dagon and get them mad good tips on agriculture, know what I’m sayin???
Can’t grow a beak nor feathers
My ravens won’t sit still. Also my eye patch itches like crazy!
Gladden his ravens
I’m getting there. Been feeding the neighborhood crows and they start going crazy happy when they see me now
Mostly having both my eyes and modern hygiene.
Misplaced my gungnir. When I find it, though…
Growing a beard
I haven’t hung myself from Yggdrasil to gain the knowledge of the runes yet
You need to also pierce yourself with your own spear. So there is that
So random little aside, because you’ve said a thing, and I have a thing I enjoy talking about. I don’t need more of a reason than that, stranger.
In a series of urban fantasy short stories I’ve been writing, a super old term for runic witches (witch being a gender neutral term) is “children of Odin” or “Odin’s heir”
That’s all. I’m just really proud of that terminology, and I just think it’s neat. Like a potato.
These short stories… Where can I find more about them?
Oh, but if you’re interested, runic witches are also called thoths children, earth witches are children of Gaia, or Terra. Fire witches are heirs of agni. Basically super outdated terms only used in, like, poetic senses now, but whatever region of the world you’re from, you’re the child over the patron deity of that thing. Fire God, water/sea god, whatever.
Tons of other stuff. I’m better at world building than character development. Lol
There’s a couple little snippets on my super duper unmaintained blog, dharmacurious.org
Otherwise I haven’t really posted them anywhere. I warn you, though, they’re not polished. Very first draft-y. I made the blog for a school project and needed some stuff to post over the course of several months, so I just uploaded them there, and always intended to go and upload the better version and just haven’t gotten around to it. The latest one is a (much better) version of the 20 years later snippet, done as a screen play, though I’ve only just finished act 1.
Step 1: Be Odin.
Hail Allfather!
Jackdaws don’t like me. My shinies aren’t good enough, I guess?
Genetics :( been growing it out for 4 months and my facial hair isn’t even an inch long :( I’m 33, dammit
At best, i get Keanu’s beard, but minus all the star power and fame that makes it work.
I’ll trade you for my natural Joe Dirt beard.
I’m sorry, beardless brother. One day our time will come! Here’s hoping for cheap hair transplants in the near future!
I haven’t found Mimir’s Fountain yet, so I still have both eyes…
Oh and also, my beard is not white (yet).
My first: thought: I haven’t been given good enough reason to pluck out my own eye.
Just wear the patch. Manifest the desire, and eventually you’ll find your reason! Believe in it, and you’ll pop that ooey, gooey superball outta the socket with a spoon in no time!
Huginn is fine but Muninn keeps trying to peck my good eye out.
