Actually Eolh was right; I call it Algiz, so the name Eolh threw me for a loop. You're right, Uruz, Algiz (Eolh) and Tyr (Teiwaz).

Nope and nope. Tyr was right, there are two others. Give you a little hint...one is for protection and the other for strength and health.

Nope, not Haegl (Hagalaz). Tyr is in there though. There are three Runes. Thanks!! I'm pleased with it. do you know why you can't see it Pantagathus?

This was my first attempt at doing anything even remotely like this (on all levels) and I am very pleased with the result! When I do something like this again (I will, because I truly enjoyed making it) I will hopefully have a better woodburner, (what I have is a soldering iron which can't really do curves...and doesn't get hot enough to really mark the wood) and I will be a bit more careful with the colors (the gold tends to smear). I'll also be pickier about my wood. Made from a slice of Hemlock, some colored pencil for the color (these particular pencils work great on wood) and some beads on waxed linen cord. The Runic design is for Strength, Health, Protection and Courage (bonus points to anyone who can figure out which Runes I used.)

I agree, I had forgotten this point.

I have one in my first entry about it Here. Good luck on the SAT's.

I actually wasn't able to see Klingan's picture either. And I know it's not blocked on my computer, nothing is.

Watching my blog slide down the list I realized it HAS been a while since I posted anything, so here goes! The harp has been sent back for a return. It arrived in Florida yesterday, so a new one should have been shipped today. I'm guessing it will be here Wednesday or Thursday. Hopefully this one will arrive safely and undamaged. Work continues to go great, my boss has gotten into the habit of sending me on road trips in company vehicles (one of which is nicknamed the "old gelapi" and driving it was quite interesting) which does get me "out and about" a bit. Overall I enjoy it, though I have some stressful days, I don't have many (I occasionally feel like the guy who is training me the most gets fed up with me...he doesn't really show it but I do get that feeling). These past two weeks have seemed to just FLY by, even though they have worn me out. I've been working through some icky past life memories and a few other things, trying in spite of everything else I'm doing to keep up with my Pathwork and still attempting to find time for my artwork and writing. I also finally gave in and downloaded Pixia again, so I can once again do digital art.

Ah, that makes a lot more sense then. Thanks.

OK now it's my turn. Couldn't resist...

I find it rather hard to believe that the Romans would require someone to be a full five inches taller than average in order to join the legions. I know this rule was broken, and that that "ideal" was not always met, but it seems to me that if the average man was only 5'4 expecting to be able to find that many who were 5'9 seems a bit unrealistic, considering how many they must have wanted for the legions. Not only that, but height is genetic and I don't think that diet has too terribly much to do with it. It would, but only after many many many generations! If you take someone who's been eating meat all of their life, and make them eat only corn and grain, they certainly don't shrink!

Wow congrats!!

Then how do people get the idea that Romans were so much shorter than we are today? 5'9 is pretty tall by today's standards even! Not giant, but pretty tall!

Oh yes, I think I'm guilty of all of those, unfortunately. I'm also outwardly aggressive...depends on the person and the situation.

You're 100% right Asclepiades

*growls* I am SO glad I got out of the public school system when I did!! If it were a white kid, they would have been protesting if he WASN'T expelled!!

Oh thank you!! *bookmarks* In that case, I give you... "Now this condition generally follows .................. In this class of affection, some scrape the thick and indurated eyelids with a fig-leaf and a rasp and sometimes with a scalpel, and every day rub medicaments into the under surface of the eyelid; such things should only be done when there is marked and inveterate hardness, and not often; for the same result is better attained by dieting and proper medicaments. Therefore we shall make use of exercise and frequent baths, and foment the eye-lids freely with hot water, and the food we give will be acrid and attenuating, and the medicine the salve called caesarianum.

Will do, PP!!

Oh damn, now I have to actually find something lol. Where do you get all of these things? I've looked all over and haven't been able to find a thing.

Oh I'm a total web addict too. But there are far worse things to be addicted to.

Punctured lung?

Pleurosis? (Pluresy?) How do you spell that?

Moon~ Yea that's how I got all mine too. Working with my hands, or doing something stupid. Exactly!! Especially if you have annoying family members and that's the only way to escape them. Yep!! The only time I have problems with jars is when they're the wrong size. My fingers are seriously double jointed and I have trouble gripping things at times.

Actually it just forgot to log me in for some reason. Not a huge deal, just thought it was odd.

Drinking radioactive water?
