Parsifal is on his way to the temple of the Grail Knights and says: “I hardly move, yet far I seem to have come”, and the all-knowing Gurnemanz replies: “You see, my son, time turns here into space.”

Wotan and Loge Speak with Alberich by Franz Stassen 1913
"Since I am known,Ignorant elf,
Say then, with growling
Whom dost thou greet?
In caverns cold
Where once thou didst crouch,
Who gave thee light
And fire for thy comfort,
Had Loge not smiled on thee?
Or what hadst thou fashioned
Had not I heated thy forge?
I am thy kinsman
And once was kind:
Lukewarm, methinks, are thy thanks!"-Loge to Alberich, Das Rheingold by Richard Wagner

Today is the feast day of St. Augustine of Canterbury, the Patron saint of England.
He was born in Rome around 540. As a young man, he joined the Benedictine order and soon became prior of the Benedictine monastery of St. Andrew. Around 596, Pope Gregory the Great dispatched Augustine and about forty fellow monks to bring Christianity to the pagan Anglo-Saxon kingdoms in England.

Landing in Kent, Augustine courageously befriended the Anglo-Saxon king Æthelberht, who converted to Christianity and allowed the missionaries to establish a church in Canterbury. Augustine became the first Archbishop of Canterbury in 597, and on Christmas day of that year, he baptized thousands of Anglo-Saxons. Over the next seven years, Augustine worked tirelessly to spread the faith among Æthelberht's people.

Augustine established dioceses, built churches, and organized the ecclesiastical structure of the English Church. Through his missionary efforts, he successfully converted most of southern England to the Catholic Faith. Augustine died around 604, and we remember him as the "Apostle of the English."

I have much love in my heart for the soldiers who chose to leap into the volcano and be reborn as Gods.

The idea of being a warrior is not something that you just express on the battlefield. It is expressed in art, in poetry, in stories. It runs through a persons life. But to fight, one must possess courage.
Halvdan (Halfdan) Ragnarsson was the third son of Ragnar Lodbrok and his second wife, Aslög Sigurdsdottir. He was better known as Hvitserk in the Volsung Saga and other writings.
The Battle of Reading was a victory for a Danish Viking army over a West Saxon force at Reading in Berkshire. The Vikings were led by Bagsecg & Halfdan Ragnarsson & the West Saxons by King Æthelred & his brother, the future King Alfred the Great. It was the second of a series of battles that took place following an invasion of Wessex by the Danish army in December 870.

By 870, the Vikings had conquered two of the four Anglo-Saxon kingdoms, Northumbria & East Anglia. At the end of 870 they launched an attempt to conquer Wessex & marched from East Anglia to Reading, arriving around the 28th December. The town was between the Thames & Kennet rivers & they set about building a ditch & rampart on the southern side between the two rivers. Three days after their arrival they sent out a large foraging party, which was defeated by an army of local levies under the command of Æthelwulf, Ealdorman of Berkshire, at the Battle of Englefield.
