I have two or three books I'm reading simultaneously right now... But it's on the list! Hertha: that is an amazing poem. I don't understand it, but it's awesome!

Your post inspired in me a great yearning for Odin, and he dropped in to say hi, so thank you for that. Regarding Loki, have you read Neil Gaiman's <em>American Gods</em>? Well worth a read if you haven't. Interesting you mention that their mother is a tree - I'd say that one of her names is Hertha -- check out this <a href="http://www.bartleby.com/236/162.html" rel="nofollow">amazing poem by Swinburne</a>. Yggdrasil as time reminds me of <em><a href="http://www.poetry-archive.com/y/to_the_rose_upon_the_rood_of_time.html" rel="nofollow">The Rose upon the Rood of Time</a></em> by WB Yeats.
