So, first off-- that pic is from the interior of Gemüt Biergarten in Columbus, OH, and the theme is Viking art, from what I understand. Evidently, they have a bunch of these super-beautiful, Norse-themed windows to enjoy.

Now, me? #1, I’m a huge fan of stained-glass art, and #2, it depicts dang-ol’ Pagan mythology, right?

Now, if you’re in the area, here are some reviews:

But that’s just the ‘hook!’ My ulterior mission here was more about learning about our young host, who I’m just learning to meet and understand, myself. Right then, let’s see how he’s described himself so far:

Professional Artist
Latin American / Spanish
Pagan Neoplatonist
Progressive Leftist

Myself, I’ve a bit of a background in ‘paganist study’ and I’m just always wanting to learn more. For one thing (hope this doesn’t shock anyone too much), but modern humans (i.e., Homo sapiens. s.) have been around for ~300k years now, no doubt filled with all kinds of fun, interesting, crazy belief systems (mostly) to help us get along.

You know, so we kind of have to qualify loads of that-- i.e., “the thundering clouds are speaking… obviously this alliance is doomed!”.

Then again, that’s still just our modern, dumbass (movie/TV) interpretations of how it went with our ancestors. In reality, we moderns are just as much complete nincompoops in our understanding of our earlier kin, just as much as them being unlikely understanding our weirdo, suicidal, late-stage, high-tech capitalist society, already like a freight train headed over a cliff, seemingly.

And I don’t even want to talk the predatory nature of televangelism, predatory religious indoctrination, and all that. *shudder*

In other words… I’d guess that there’s a debate! There’s a debate. There’s a debate upon all kinds of things, when it came to the ‘primitive life that genetically-modern humans lived, and so forth.’

Anyway, enough about my dumbarse self and views! 😅
(and you already know where I make a regular fool of myself, i.e. my EGN project)

Folks, if we can…?
Let’s hear from our kind host upon any of these matters, mais non??
