Well, my weekend is almost over. I did not do much this weekend, but sleep and watch TV. I did finally write a post for my main journal at swainblog.englatheod.org. It was inspired by a post by Garmr called What is the Appeal of Loki? Last night I watched the remake of 3:10 to Yuma. I enjoyed it a great deal. I love watching westerns anyway.

This morning I took care of business with Blue Cross Blue Shield in regards to a claim they had denied. I am in process of an appeal, and it looks as if the claim will be honored. As my brother has been home sick, I have spent time talking to him on various topics. I also had to take care of a hiccup in the Englatheod server. It was not offline more than 10 minutes though as I was online at the time.

Other than that, my weekend has been uneventful. I did enjoy my writing the piece on Loki, and I am in a debt of gratitude to Garmr. I really do not understand why anyone would want to worship him. He is a trickster god in the least, and evil incarnate at most. Either way, he is not an admirable character to be dealing with. I personally think that worship should be limited to deities we know were worshiped in ancient times and the Dark Ages, and of course land wights for which there is ample evidence of worship. Other creatures should not be worshiped in any form, esp. those that are known to be opposed to the Gods such as Surt. I am not sure what the attraction to such figures as Loki and Surt is based in. I suppose it may be something akin to Germanic Satanism. Other than that I can only see it as perhaps a way of "freaking the mundanes."
