: 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.
Where did you find that there was such ancient celtic god named Wyrd? Actually I know that there are connections between Myth and celtic mythology but I never heard about that one. I by myself found some connections concerning names, if you want I can e-mail you 'em once I find where I wrote it down.
Knight o' Death.
P.S. You forgot the 9 Nazgul in LoTR.
