Dear Forrest I reasently checked a book out from the Iowa City Public Libary Called Ax Age Wolf Age you may see the corrispondince there. It was a book of nors mythalogical storys, Odin, Thor, Ferra and so on. At that same time I also checked out 2 books on celtic myth and promptly noticed the same names gholsbane did. I do not have as an extincive compiling of fact or linkige to Myth but one more thing stood out to me, all the storys were 9. Every number that didnt have to be say fingers on a hand or legs on a horse, that is matter-of-fact numbers, was 9. Thor takes 9 steps before he dies at ragnock, the 9 THRALL (their in there too but not as zombies)Odin encounters when he goes to recover the mead of poetry from the gigants, and so on. I have a theory about that too. The hebrews seemed to like 7 and 12(ie the 12 tribes of Isreal), the buddest seem to like to like 8(ie the 8 fold path), the anchent chinees seemed to like 5(ie 5 not 4 elements) and 6 (ie the 6 schools of thought), just as examples. These numbers pop up very often in the arbutrary number pile when you think you could pick any number you want, but they pick these. Tolken's 9 fellowship of the ring, and the 9 avatars in Myth would be the link but I dont know what any of this means, if anything. I just that I noticed the number 9 as it appears in nortic inspired literitur.
P.S. Wyrd was female. Very little else is known about only surviving celtic age old engilsh diaity.
