I haven't been feeling so well recently. The mood swings have gotten worse since the seizure. I'll be happy one moment only to fall into the deepest depression the next. It's actually terrifying. I don't know what triggered it. They seemed to start after I named Micah. I'm scared.
In other news, I haven't been able to find Slender Man in Finnish myth yet. I asked Dr. Cairo on his U-stream but he had no answer. If you have a link feel free to post it. However, I did find out that epilepsy was a sign of a holy person in their old religion. They believed that when a soul left the body, the body quaked. The theory was that in that state they could travel to the land of the dead and seek their wisdom. Spooky, and quite interesting.
First off, I'm sorry to hear about your declining health. That meaning the mood swings.
ReplyDeleteTerribly sorry about that thing about the Finnish roots, I can't seem to find the source. Which is very strange, because I do remember reading it.
Or it's very possibly I was dreaming for that part, I don't dream often, so I usually take my dreams as fact. But I'll keep looking for it.
Give Micah a hello for me, if you would.
Sorry you're feeling bad.
ReplyDeleteI found a reference to Svanni (slender) in Norse mythology. Does that help at all?
If you could explain better I could maybe look into it.
ReplyDeleteI think it may be irrelevant, it seems Svanni was female:
ReplyDelete"Svanni ("The Slender"), was the daughter of Karl ("Yeoman") and Snör ("Daughter-in-Law").
Poetic Edda: Rigsthula"

I'll keep trying. Best wishes. C.
