Earlier, an associate, ᛊᚺᛟᚾᚨᚾ ᛏᚨᛚᛈᚨᛞᛖ had written of the vital engagement between Kakabhushundi (the Crow-Sage : काक / kāka being 'Crow') and the young Lord Rama which occurs at Ayodhya. Now, this reminded me of a certain suite of detailing from the Rígsþula (which, effectively, sets out a Nordic/Germanic caste schema) wherein 'Young Konr' ['Konr … Continue reading The Vital Words Of The Crow-Sage
