Spotted: Norse Myths

1 day ago by marioincandenza

And the reader of this copy of Norse Myths must be from Jötunheimr, homeland of the Giants, because homeboy is tall! I don’t know if you can tell from my creepy crappy photo, but he has to duck to stand in the middle part of the train. Filed under: Books Tagged: Norse Myths

Do Unto Others

53 days ago by Carrie Thore

Nativity One of my professors wished me a happy winter solstice and then added, “Or whatever it is that you celebrate.” Personally, I don’t mind someone wishing me a Merry Christmas. I’m not a Christian, but I’m also not a worshipper of the Norse Pantheon, yet I still label the days of the week by t ...

and Then There Was School Stuff

162 days ago by Cerwydwyn

I’ve been MIA for a while, particularly from this blog. In fact, I was thinking I might be finished with blogging. It’s something you have to do because you enjoy it, at least that’s why I do it. It’s not about fame and fortune but about sharing what we’re up to in our homeschool and sometimes, our ...

Frost Giants

This morning Springy was working on spellings (with pre-fixes and suffixes) and also she had a story by Reg Down on the lifecycle of salmon. Lots of play inbetween and then this afternoon we had a restful story time with Odd and the Frost Gian ts by Neil Gaiman. In all a satisfying day but the weath ...

Jehovah’s Witnesses on My Porch

184 days ago by Carrie Thore

Freya as a kitten. A couple of weeks ago, Jehovah’s Witnesses came to my house. I did not invite them like I had invited the Mormons. Christianity is the most popular religion where I live. Baptists and Methodists are the most common, but there are fringe denominations, too. I know I’m categorizing ...

Today we returned our Viking hoard to the museum. I've been reading up a bit on some of the 'Viking' tax systems, especially under the Christian transfer, which resulted in some raids occurring on other villages/places. Basically you were told your tax bill by some official ruling author ... ities w ...

Norse Myths and Man and Animal

191 days ago by LZ

I have to say that so far I'm really enjoying learning with these as our focus. The Norse Myths have always been stories I enjoyed. I love the capricious nature of Loki and the stubborness and honourable mix of the other deities. We picked up a box on Tuesday of Viking replica artefacts from our loc ...
