Happy New Year!

Feeling a bit bored and I can't sleep, so once again it's time for a quiz: What Yoga Pose are you?

You Are the Tree Pose

You are a well grounded, down to earth person. Not much shakes you. You can remain steady through a crisis - and other people lean on you. You have high standards and morals. You easily rise above pettiness. While people sometimes accuse you of being stubborn, you are able to shift focus when you need to.

Have a Good Yule!

 

Yes I celebrate Yule and do not sanction the Christians (by calling it "christmas") and their thieving ways in which they tried to eliminate the northern heathen celebration of the Winter Solstice nor their destruction of the Roman Saturnalia celebration. December 25th is not the birthday of Jesus, but of Mithra. The Christians failed to root out other religious practices by the force of arms and the threat of violence sanctioned by legisliation and laws forbidding competitive religious practices so they tried to give new meaning to old practices and that is the vicious origins of "Christmas". So if your a christian and you absolutely have to celebrate Jesus, do it sometime in August and leave the winter solstice alone.

More on the meaning of Yule and the winter Solstice in Scandinavia in the Viking Age can be found here! (It's written in Norwegian). (English summary here!)

Have a GOOD YULE!!!

X-men origins - Wolverine

I'm looking forward to seeing this movie, having been a fan of the X-men and particularily Wolverine since I was a kid. I enjoyed the previous 3 X-men movies and I've just seen the trailer for Wolverine. It looks promising.
