Originally posted on Gangleri's Grove: Muslims violated the festival of Diwali this past weekend, destroying 15 Hindu temples and 200 Hindu homes. See article here and here for the full story.

I’ve been thinking a lot about sacrifice lately. Yule is approaching and that is a time where I often give appropriate sacrifices to Odin and it’s time to start thinking about what the winter will entail, and to start making the necessary preparations should animal sacrifice be part of that.

This time I tried to come up with something for every letter in the alphabet. I got close. This poem has 22 lines. The only letters I didn’t get were b, f, x, and z. I need a real, old-fashioned physical paper dictionary and/or thesaurus. I might have done a little better then. I tried…

Good News: after today, I should have internet at my house! Which is great because I have not been able to make it town lately (truck is still broken down. that’s the Bad News). I’m extending the October God of the Month Club, again, into November. So I will still be studying Poseidon, Haides, and…
