Because it's been awhile since I put out properly finished content - here's what you might consider some 'working notes'. Basically, a slightly edited version of a reply I'd put together for two gentlemen in discussion of a particular pair of verses from the Vafþrúðnismál, which upon the surface would appear to quite considerably resonate with my contemplations … Continue reading The Indo-European Divine Rite Of The Covenant In Vafþrúðnismál ?

The Divine Roadway of the Underworld – Oaths, Liminality & Law [The Indo-European Propitiation Of Persephone-Kali – Part Four]
