ST. PAUL'S ANGLICAN CHURCH ON BLOOR ST. EAST UNVEILS "When I Was a Stranger" SCULPTURE BY TIM SCHMALZ
I have really nice next-door neighbours – I overlook St. Paul's Anglican Church on Bloor St East and today I joined the staff, Board of Trustees and members of the congregation as they unveiled the beautiful bronze sculpture by leading Canadian artist Tim Schmalz, called "When I Was a Stranger". Here, let Pastor Barry Parker do the honours….
As Pastor Barry suggested, come visit, sit a spell and take a selfie with Jesus!
Artist Tim Schmalz is an accomplished sculptor and has undertaken many religious commissions which you can see on his website: www.sculpturebytps.com Below, Tim explains more about his work for St. Paul's
And below, Bishop Peter Fenty (Bishop for York-Simcoe and the Diocese of Toronto) offers up a prayer
Immediately after the speeches, visitors started sharing their selfies, like this lady here… ….and there were lots of photos being snapped for the Church newspaper and local media…. The gentleman who modelled for the face of Jesus came by to lend support & congratulate Tim (below left) And this is the result…the serene face of Jesus, bowed in humility, full of warmth and love. Inside the church lobby, there was also a display of paintings by local artists Ruthia Pak Regis and Matt Wood…..nice to pop in and warm up a bit. Thank you to Exec. Pastor Joyce Badley for her kind invitation to join the celebration today, and to Assoc. Priest Sandra Seaborn for sharing additional information about the event & other church activities.

AWARD-WINNING JEWELLERY DESIGNER GLORIA BASS TO PRESENT CHRISTMAS TRUNK SHOW IN TORONTO
Several months ago, I had the pleasure of meeting Montreal-based, award winning Canadian jewellery designer GLORIA BASS (pictured below R with her assistant Marie-Josee) who was hosting a special 2-day spring trunk show here in Toronto. Her sumptuous big statement necklaces, delicate stacking rings, ballsy bracelets and elegant pieces featuring stunning Tahitian pearls in a rainbow of natural colours captivated my imagination…..I wanted to play dress up: perhaps as a Maharani or a Tsarina, a princess or the queen of the south seas, perhaps? Oh, the feel of the cool gemstones and 18kt gold against my skin transported me to exotic lands as my imagination ran riot!
A glass of chilled champagne and shared laughter soon brought me back down to earth as Gloria told me about her design esthetic, her favourite materials and finest precious gemstones, and how she wanted to personally bring her glorious (no pun intended) jewels back to Toronto's discerning fashion mavens. I'm thrilled to announce that we will have another opportunity to experience Gloria's superb handcrafted designs this November 27 & 28 when she again hosts a special Christmas trunk show in a "pop-up" retail location in the heart of Yorkville. I asked Gloria if she would kindly share a little of her design philosophy and life story with my readers prior to the big Toronto event so scroll on down to meet Gloria Bass… What first inspired you to take up jewellery design – was your family involved in jewellery or fashion? No, my family was not in either the fashion or jewellery business but I always enjoyed working with my hands. When I was a teenager, I made my own clothes and did all the handicrafts – knitting, crocheting, needlepoint, etc. Early in my marriage, my husband and I spent two years in Southern California where I took a course in making jewellery. I went on to take private lessons for a short time and fell in love with it. What was the very first piece you created and sold? I can't remember the first piece I created but I do remember the first sale at a gallery! Upon returning home to Canada, I set up a workshop in my house. When I had produced enough, I went to see someone at the Canadian Guild of Arts in Montreal and an exhibition was mounted for me. I remember coming in to the gallery the day before the show opened and was told that a gentleman had just purchased one of my bracelets. That was enough to send me flying……and then I found out that it was Peter Bronfman!
What are your favourite materials to work with – gold, platinum? And favourite gemstones? 18 karat yellow gold is my favourite material by a long shot! I love the rich colour and the metal responds the best to hand fabrication. My personal favourite gemstone is red! Rubies and red spinels. But I love all coloured stones – even though some are difficult to work with. Diamonds always add the final touch and lately, I work with a lot of different colour fancy diamonds. You use a lot of Tahitian pearls in your designs – do you think pearls have been given a bad rap (grannies love their pearls) and do you think young women should embrace them like diamonds and other precious stones? I most certainly do!!!! There are so many types and colours of pearls today. Pearls just light up a face and look good on everyone. I do so many different pieces with them – some very modern and cool! Do you have any favourite designers (current or historical) whose work you admire? I think the Cartier and Tiffany pieces from the Art Deco period are sensational. That type of craftsmanship is very rare today. I identify with Suzanne Belperron's esthetic taste. I also like the work of the German house 'Hemmerle' as well as de Grisogono for what they do with colour.
You're coming into Toronto at the end of November for a special 2-day "trunk show" in Yorkville – what new pieces are you creating especially for this show?I'm making an amazing pair of earrings using over 23 carats of sapphires ranging in colour from almost white to yellow to orange. Also, I have a fabulous ring with a 22 carat opal and a pavé of multi-colour stones, a ring with a labradorite scarab, and a lot of pieces with my signature "coil" work. And always….new additions to my endless stacking rings (pictured below)!! What trends (or colours) do you see for jewellery and accessories going into 2017? I don't follow trends too closely although I think big pieces that make a statement are always on my radar. I will continue to make pieces that are wearable on a daily basis but just not mainstream. Any advice for young designers looking to go into the jewellery or gold-smithing business? It's a tough world out there and there is more competition than ever now. If one has the passion and drive, one can succeed.
Thank you, Gloria. I encourage you to visit her website to see the beautiful, innovative designs that have become her signature www.gloriabassdesign.com In the interim, enjoy some of her outstanding work here….. Even men can wear pearls…as cufflinks (below) or opals, too!
Gloria makes sure our men look elegant, too. See how women are wearing Gloria's designs….

AHOY, MATEY….AND HAPPY THANKSGIVING FROM TORONTO HARBOUR!
What a lovely way to spend Thanksgiving….cruising around Toronto's stunning Lake Ontario harbour and islands, watching the planes come in and snapping away like a crazed tourist! I love taking quickee "stay-cations" or playing hookey mid-week and taking off for a calming boat cruise through the islands. Today is Thanksgiving Monday in Canada and everyone is busy roasting turkeys and shuffling between family homes with pumpkin pies and bottles of wine. Me? Well, I'm thankful to have access to simple pleasures like harbour boat cruises and the nice folks at Toronto Harbour Tours didn't disappoint www.harbourtourstoronto.ca Captain Dylan (pictured above) and Cruise Director Mike welcomed me aboard then cast off for a 1 hour tour – unlike Gilligan and his 3hr tour, there was little chance of getting shipwrecked. We cast off our boat, the Shipsands, and headed out into Lake Ontario, past all the condos and restaurants…..
What a beautiful city and waterfront we have. I sometimes forget the beauty that's just minutes from my front door. My sailing buddies were a fun bunch showing their out of town friends around the city.
As our boat was returning, we caught this scary plane landing…must have been Sully at the controls!
Whew, that was a close call. More picturesque photo opps…. …then aloha and farewell to Capt. Dylan and Mike (who's being dive-bombed here by a rogue seagull) The fun didn't end there…I remembered there was an artisans' market further along the harbourfront so I set forth to forage for food and oh boy…peameal bacon on a kaiser roll – my favourite!! And dessert courtesy of Carla's Cookie Box! Yummmmm
So Happy Canadian Thanksgiving to all my blog readers…wishing you lots of turkey, stuffing and pumpkin pies…burp!

MEET FLO BARON, FASHION STYLIST TO HOLLYWOOD STARS AND NOW TORONTO'S WOMEN OF DISTINCTION!
A couple of months ago, I was pushing my cart up the aisles of my favourite supermarket and kept running into the same lady reaching for the same products. We both laughed "we gotta stop meeting like this…" then began trading nutrition recommendations and handy menu suggestions as we hit the fruit & veggie dept. together. She was delightful and had a wicked sparkle in her eyes. I had just met fashion powerhouse and stylist to some of Hollywood's great old-school stars, FLO BARON. Flo and exchanged phone numbers and promised to meet for tea, and within the week I found myself sitting in her super glamourous Yorkville condo surrounded by artworks collected over many years and her elegant black and white furnishings. Very Busby Berkley, very Flo Baron! Flo not only loves styling women in fashions that compliment and enhance their body shapes, she also offers opportunities to purchased some pretty stunning designer lines from the States. She has an adjoining private "salon" and holds court each week with an exclusive group of clients, putting together their outfits, accessorizing and offering wardrobe tips. I asked Flo to share a little of her background and fashion career and she revealed some wonderful stories and anecdotes that I'd like to share with you here…..
Although her family wasn't involved in the fashion industry, Flo Baron always knew she was destined for a life surrounded by beauty, design and creativity. As a young girl in Chicago, she dreamt of fabulous fashions and always appreciated the feel and look of fine fabrics. Flo won a scholarship to secretarial school where she excelled but fashion always beckoned, perhaps she would become a model. Her idol was Jinx Falkenburg (pictured below), one of the highest-paid cover-girl models in the United States during the 1930s and 1940s. In the early 50's, Flo answered a newspaper ad from a modeling school who wanted someone to teach make-up, personal grooming and dress styling to women going into the corporate sector for the first time (yes, these were pre-Mad Men times). She landed the job and taught hundreds of young women how to present themselves in the most fashionable manner for their 9-5 jobs as well as cocktail parties.
Moving to California with her husband in the mid 50's, Flo's life took an exciting turn when she landed a job in the dress shop at the legendary Beverly Hills Hotel. She helped style Hollywood's most glamorous stars of the day including dancer and movie star Cyd Charisse, Dorothy Lamour, Elizabeth Taylor and even Zsa Zsa Gabor who would frequently drop in and demand Flo bring her everything on the racks in her size! "Polly Bergen walked in one day wearing a full length mink coat. She put her arm around me, winked and whispered "I did it all by myself!" What a fabulous lady she was." Some years later, after a brief stint as a production secretary on a popular TV show, Flo became intrigued by interior design and decorating. "I love anything with an artistic value, anything that was created by an idea in somebody's mind." So along with a friend, she soon launched a home accessories and bathroom design business. Flo loved intricate fixtures and bathroom furnishings so she soon had every garage mechanic in San Fernando Valley working with her to handcraft her metal bathroom, tabletop and furniture designs. After the successful debut of her line at a Los Angeles trade show, she opened her own factory, hiring a workforce of skilled craftspeople to produce her line which was sold in the US, Canada and internationally. After 40 successful years, Flo sold that business and in 2005, she moved to Toronto to be closer to her daughter.
Over the past ten years she has developed relationships with a number fashion designers from New York, California and Canada. Flo has brought back these lines with her to share with friends and personal styling clients. Due to her background in fashion, décor and design, Flo has developed a loyal following of clients who look to her for guidance with their clothing choices, as well as purchasing unique and affordable fashions that she personally curates for each client's wardrobe. "I love helping women discover their true inner beauty and elegance by enhancing their appearance with clothing and accessories that are not only timeless but very affordable."
When you visit Flo Baron's style studio, you will enjoy a personalized wardrobe consultation, and get to try on various fashion pieces and accessories to enhance your own personal style. Whether you need something casual, a business outfit or an elegant ensemble for that swanky soiree, Flo can put together a head-to-toe look that will make you feel like a million dollars…but with a much more affordable price tag. She has also just launched a "young & chic" division catering to the younger fashion followers and coordinated by her assistant Michelle, seen below assisting another client. One of Flo's clients is the Canadian actor, playwright and entrepreneur Nonni Griffin seen below getting the full Flo experience! If you want to learn more about this wonderful and talented woman of influence, please visit her website: www.flobaroncollection.com
And check out these gorgeous scarves for fall that just arrived in the salon, as well as some great bling to accessorize your own outfits.

TORONTO'S URBAN GALLERY LAUNCHES DUAL ARTIST SHOW FOR OCTOBER
Throughout October, URBAN GALLERY is pleased to showcase two Toronto artists whose journeys into distant landscapes where light and shadow ignite the senses allow the viewer to experience life with heightened awareness and inspiration. This wonderment helps to reveal the genuine beauty of living life in the moment. Last night, the gallery hosted an opening party where both artists welcomed friends, family and potential new art collectors to their show. VISTA TRAILS and THE GEOGRAPHY OF LIGHT2 runs from October 6 to October 29, 2016, featuring Annie Mandlsohn (Painting, Sculpture & Mixed Media) and Robert J. Brodey (Photography) For over 30 years, Annie Mandlsohn (pictured below with a gallery visitor) has exhibited her artwork across Canada. She graduated with a Bachelor of Fine Arts Degree (B.F.A.) from Concordia University in Montreal specializing in visual arts and music, and also holds a Master in Environmental Studies Degree (M.E.S.) from York University in Toronto. Annie has lived and worked in urban, rural and remote areas of the country, and has travelled across Canada, USA, Europe and Japan. Her love of faraway places, often where tourists do not go, leads her to experience various cultures and adventures she encounters, finding unique journeys guided by an inner compass. The beauty of nature and the spirit and power of landscapes are reflected in her work (samples of which are pictured below) I got a chance to chat briefly with Annie before losing her to a crowd of art fans!
Robert Brodey is a Toronto-based writer and photographer whose longing for new places has sent him travelling around the world, writing and shooting for the likes of Street Kids International, Outpost Magazine, The Toronto Star, and The Houston Chronicle. Below are a few of Robert's stunning portraits and landscapes featured in this current show… I have always been attracted to movement and change. I love the element of surprise, the contrasts, and the rush that comes when all the senses light up. For me, what is distant holds a degree of mystery and stokes the fire of imagination and curiosity. I need to experience it. In that way, travelling is a conscious seeking — for different cultures, different landscapes, and, yes, sometimes even different light. Robert J. Brodey
Here, let Robert tell you more about his work himself……

TORONTO FUNNY MAN CELEBRATES COMEDY MILESTONE & SUPPORTS INDUSTRY WITH UNIQUE WEBSITE
Back in the 80's when I managed Yuk Yuk's Komedy Klub in Toronto (and was the agent for all the comedians), one of my chores was booking and running the Monday "Amateur Night" shows. So many comedians who are now well-known came thru my office door back them, many more were hopelessly untalented or those who did show promise just never got the breaks. One Monday night regular always stuck in my mind – David Reuben. Back the early 80's, Dave was trying to find his comic voice and develop his stage personae. Every Monday morning, I would get his phone call asking for a spot and I would give him his 5 minutes to try out new material and work the not-always-kind amateur night audiences. He may not have been the funniest guy on stage back then, but he certainly was the most polite and pleasant person to deal with – no ego, no "fronting", no entitlement attitude. He soon became my favourite. In the late 80's, I lost track of Dave after I had left Yuk Yuk's and started my own comedy agency & promotions company, but in the early 2000's, I heard that he had started The Comedy Greenroom, a website offering all sorts of valuable gigging information for comedians as well as promoting shows to the general public. What a great idea! He also became a regular performer and producer of Ein-Stein's Happy Hour comedy showcase on Sunday nights at the popular University of Toronto hangout. I recently caught up with Dave and asked him about the upcoming milestone for the weekly comedy series as well as how his career has gone over the past 30 years since we worked together.
What prompted you to start The Comedy Green Room website?
Having started comedy in 1983, well before the Internet, I compiled a list of comedy venues in Canada, the USA and internationally. Being fascinated with technology I took some courses in HTML and learned the basics of web design. Let me stress the basics! Always one to help his fellow comics I decided to start a comedy website with a list of comedy clubs, festivals and performers. The name The Comedy Green Room came about because my favourite times in comedy are hanging out in the "Green Room" backstage before and after shows. What information does it offer comedy fans and comedy professionals?
www.thecomedygreenroom.com offers comedy fans info up and coming comics as well as professional comedians around the globe. Many of today's comedy stars were on the site before they became house hold names. For professionals, the site offers info on comedy clubs, festivals and open mic rooms. The monthly newsletter is sent to comics and comedy fans in Canada, the USA and Internationally.
Over the years, you've done stand-up comedy yourself as well as acted as a talent scout for new comedy stars; do you prefer performing yourself or being the person who brings the stars to the public's attention?
Performing is my first love and always will be. As they say in the movie Punchline! "Comedy is my Mistress" and I have sacrificed so much chasing this dream my whole adult life. This past September 7th marked 33 years of battling the comedy addiction! But in reality, I wanted to be a stand-up comic since I was 5 years old and saw my first stand-up comedian on the Ed Sullivan Show on a small black and white TV. Nothing beats the immediate gratification of having an audience laugh in a live setting. And since starting The Comedy Green Room, I have taken on a mentor roll myself to many of Canada's young comics. Many have gone on to great success in Canada and the USA. This gives me great pleasure and pride; I guess maybe I should have been a teacher which was an idea I had in University until I got sidetracked by life, The Hogtown Comedy Festival [2002-2006] started by myself, Arie Kizel, and OJ Kness was a labour of love that showcased up and coming Canadian comics, helping launch their careers. The Toronto Comedy Guild [2001 to 2005] run by myself and Steve Rivers gave young comics a chance to perform in bars across Toronto. They made $20 for the night which gave them bus fare and some self-esteem. Ein-Stein's Comedy night has been running since 1996 and was started by Arie and the venue's owner OJ. I started performing there in 2000 then started producing the show in 2003 after both Arie and OJ asked me to help out due to family obligations.
It's a weekly show that I book, promote and sometimes host. I've help hundreds if not thousands of young comics by giving them a venue to start out in and explore comedy. The only thing asked of them is to be polite to the bar staff, show up on time, and get off stage after their allotted time. Sometimes easier said than done!
Who has been your most exciting connection/addition to the site (and why)?
The most exciting connection was when Jennifer Lee Pryor called me about a year before Richard passed away and said that Richard loved the site, wanted to be on it and wanted to meet me. I walked around for two weeks 3 feet off the ground. The Pryor's allowed me to use a photo of Richard from his 1972 appearance on the Tonight Show which you will find on the home page of The Comedy Green Room. We were making preparations for a fundraiser for Richard and a meeting with him about the time he passed away. The second most exciting thing was being invited to Johnny Carson's home town of Norfolk Nebraska to be an adviser on the Johnny Carson Comedy Festival. I got to tour the Johnny Carson Museum, visit his childhood home and the auditorium named after him. A great thrill for the kid who would sneak downstairs to watch the monologue and the comic on The Tonight Show every night at 11:30pm.
The third most exciting thing was the ability of The Comedy Green Room to bring stand- up comic Paul Adams and father [comedy writer for Bob Hope] Charlie Adams of the UK to Toronto for The HogTown Comedy Festival. Paul ended up living in Toronto for 18 months.
The comedy industry in Canada isn't necessarily a funny business as there are some pretty nasty characters out there with personal agendas that go beyond entertaining the masses. Have you encountered any of these negative beings and how have they impacted your career? Or have they just made you stronger and more determined?
I have been a fighter since I was born as a preemie at 4lbs. Many people say I am the toughest person they know.
Comedy has been an up-hill battle for me from the moment I stepped on the stage at the original Yuk Yuk's on Bay Street in Toronto in 1983. I was the crowd favourite on Monday night's CHUM104 amateur night and became a cult figure filling the room to capacity weekly. However, Mark Breslin, founder of Yuk Yuk's did not think I was funny. In fact, he said, "You have no talent, you're a terrible writer but the audience love you." I was advised to give up stand-up comedy. My response was – see you next week! But the next weeks piled up and I was buried on Amateur Night for 10 agonizing years until the management of Yuk Yuk's agreed to give me a showcase. Again, I was slapped in the face by being put on 15th out of 15, but I killed that night and have the tape to prove it. But Mr. Breslin again said I was not good enough to be on his regular shows at Yuk Yuk's.
I left Yuk Yuk's that night in1993 and have never performed on their stage again. I worked on my act and writing for 7 years (shades of Dangerfield) and came back as "Ruby, the Darkest Mind in Comedy" in 2000. But this time I was determined to do it my way and most importantly have fun. All the good things in my career have happened because of my attitude of having fun and being nice to other comics.
I have made peace in my mind about the 10 years of not being wanted by Yuk Yuk's, but, in my mind I was the one comic in the Canadian comedy boom of the 1980's who was not given a chance. Yet, I was the hardest working and toughest of the group. Sometimes it hurts that I have been shunned by people & organizations in the Canadian comedy community such as the Canadian Comedy Awards, Just For Laugh's, critic Glenn Sumi, Absolute Comedy, The Humber Comedy School to name a few. But, I guess when you are your own man these things happen.
Over the past 16 years, I've fought ageism in comedy as many young comics will not put me on their shows because they feel I am too old. Yet, I am the favourite comic of Ein-Stein's where the audience is a University of Toronto crowd. I have killed at college and multi-cultural shows – I am everyone's crazy uncle who says the wrong thing.
Who have been your biggest influences and supporters?
Kenny Robinson (pictured below) has been my biggest supporter and booster in the Canadian comedy scene since we met 33 years ago. He has fought for me to be his opening act many times and went against other comics to defend my right to be in this business. Kenny has also argued for me with bookers and club owners. He was the only Canadian comic who agreed to be on www.thecomedygreenroom.com when I started the site on New Year's Eve 2000. Everyone else I approached said it was a stupid idea or they were afraid to be on the site because it might hurt their career. The late great Sam Kinison (below) was also a great supporter of mine. When he saw my act he said to throw it out and start from scratch and find a unique voice. Best advice I ever got. Happy Hour Comedy @ Ein-Stein's Bier Halle in Toronto is s celebrating a big anniversary later this month – how many years have you been running the site and promoting live shows?
The weekly event has been running since the fall of 1996 and was started by Arie Kizel and the owner of Ein-Stein's, OJ Kness. For many years, it was the only Sunday night open mic in Toronto. I first performed at Ein-Stein's in 2000 and came on board as the producer in 2003. Any advice for stand-up comedy up-and-comers….?
Work hard, perform, write, be polite and do not burn bridges.
And how do we buy tickets to the big anniversary show?
In keeping with the history of Ein-Stein's there is NO COVER to get in and seating is first come first served. We ask that a donation be made to The Foundation for Nutrition and Inflammatory Bowel Diseases in Children www.nibdinkids.com because laughter is the best medicine!
Happy Hour Comedy @ Ein-Stein 20th Anniversary Show – Sunday Oct. 16th 8pm

Halloween is one among many John Carpenter masterpieces that he has deigned to bestow up the world, and I have, of course, watched it many times. The rest of the sequels... not so much. As part of my annual horror movie marathon this October, I decided to get caught up the rest of the Halloween series. Much to my dismay, I discovered that much like the Friday the 13th series, the sequels to Halloween represented at best diminishing artistic and entertainment returns and at worst head-scratchingly terrible movies, the scripts for which probably wouldn't receive a passing mark if they had had been submitted as creative writing assignments in a grade 4 class. Yes, I'm looking at you Halloween: The Curse of Michael Myers and Halloween: Resurrection. These are sequels that are so bad that it felt like they were made specifically to insult and alienate fans of the series (or at least of the original film).
The Halloween sequels seemed to go off the rails almost immediately, adding increasingly nonsensical aspects to the Michael Myers mythology that made the character less impactful and the story unnecessarily convoluted. The series kept retconning itself before retconning was even a fully formed concept in pop culture. Halloween II was an otherwise solid sequel, but they retconned the backstory to make Laurie Strode (Jamie Lee Curtis) Michael Myers' long-lost sister instead of a random victim of his senseless violence in an effort to try and provide some sort of motivation for Myers' character. This was despite Carpenter's own original vision of Michael Myers as an "absence of character," and more of a supernatural force of nature. Having Michael Myers obsessed with killing his own family not only didn't make a whole lot of sense, but it also detracted from the horror of an unstoppable, unidentifiable assailant whose motivations are unclear and unknowable, who can't be bargained or reasoned with, and who may strike again, anywhere, for any reason (or no reason at all).
After that, it was almost like tradition that each film in the series inexplicably retconned the ending of the film that came before it. By the time the sixth entry, Halloween: The Curse of Michael Myers, rolled around they retconned the whole damn premise, making Michael Myers the (apparently anatomically intact) pawn of a secret cult who sent him out to kill periodically for... reasons? The irony behind the whole exercise seemed more apparent than a stolen tombstone in your parent's bed; the more coherent they tried to make the Halloween mythology, the more completely it fell apart at the seams. One of the few saving graces for any of the sequels was the character of Dr. Loomis portrayed by the legendary Donald Pleasence, who, quite frankly, was a much higher calibre actor than any of those films rightly deserved.
It got so bad that Halloween H20: 20 Years Later, the seventh film in the series, retconned nearly all the retcons by ignoring every Halloween movie after Halloween II, including ignoring Laurie's orphaned daughter, Jamie, and instead introducing a new timeline wherein Laurie faked her own death, moved across the country, became the headmistress of a private school, and gave birth to Josh Hartnett. Probably ignoring all of that junk in between is why H20 ranks as one of the better sequels (or at least the more coherent sequels), and even gave a fitting close to the "relationship" between Laurie and Michael. The whole sibling twist is still terrible, but H20 probably wrapped it up in the best possible way. However, any good will with the audience or artistic vision that the filmmakers built up was immediately squandered by the trainwreck that was Halloween: Resurrection, which (you guessed it) retconned the ending of H20 to make Laurie a murderer and then unceremoniously kill her off in the first ten minutes of the film so that Michael Myers can then (*checks notes*) kill a bunch of teens filming a reality show in his childhood house. It also featured Michael Myers being drop-kicked and subsequently burned in a fire by (*checks notes*) the rapper Busta Rhymes. Yep. Somebody, somewhere actually got paid real, actual money to write those things into a real, actual script.
It seemed only fitting, then, that the first truly great sequel to John Carpenter's 1978 Halloween, David Gordon Green's 2018 Halloween, retconned the ever-loving hell out of every single one of the Halloween sequels, ignoring them all completely. Admittedly, they got kind of lazy with the naming scheme - what with Halloween being the direct sequel to Halloween - but considering how convoluted the previous sequels got and how great this one actually is, I didn't dwell too much on the naming duplication.
Halloween 2018 picks up forty years after the original Halloween 1978, and re-established Michael Myers as an unknowable, unstoppable force of nature. It turns out that Myers was caught by police shortly after his showdown with Laurie Strode and Dr. Loomis (whose first name the Internet is now telling me is Samuel) and subsequently locked up in a mental institution as he was after he first killed his sister Judith. This time, Michael doesn't utter a word, or really do much of anything, for forty years, reinforcing how inhuman he really is. He eventually does escape during a transfer to another facility, and goes on another killing rampage, most noticeably not against any members of his own immediate family, of whom there are none left alive. Once again, Michael Myers is depicted as more of an elemental force, an embodiment of death and a grim reminder of our transition from innocence to experience as the burden of our own mortality becomes an inescapable conclusion.
In short, Halloween 2018 was the first direct sequel of any substance, and damn fine film in its own right.
I'm not a long-time, dedicated fan of the Halloween franchise, so take this how you will. The original Halloween and Halloween III are the only previous entries that I actually truly liked (both for wildly different reasons), so maybe I'm not what you'd define as a true believer in this particular fandom. Still, as a fan of movies in general, what's more likely to make a movie stick with me is if it is both internally consistent in its narrative logic and it has something to say, even if what it has to say is frivolous or related to a topic that I have no interest in.
Halloween 2018 is, above all, a slasher flick, another entry in a long storytelling tradition that goes back to when our ancestors would test their mettle by telling stories around a campfire. A lot of the entertainment value does, therefore, stem from the visceral exploration of human mortality (i.e., Michael kills a bunch of people). However, there's also the right amount of rhetorical glue to hold the whole enterprise together and elevate it above other films in the genre.
One of the core themes at the heart of Halloween 2018 is the concept of trauma. As with a lot of post-modern horror films, Halloween 2018 takes a meta approach to the Halloween world. Unlike a lot of its peers, this film actually succeeds. In a post-Scream cinematic landscape, the urge to dissect ones own mythology or comment on and subvert the tropes of ones own genre is a temptation almost too great to ignore and often leads film makers astray. Luckily, Halloween 2018 is one of the few films that doesn't disappoint in the regard.
Early on in the film, a teenager remarks to Laurie's granddaughter, Allyson (Andi Matichak) on how insubstantial a man who murdered five people forty years ago seems when compared to all the other horrors going on in the world with death tolls much higher. And, really, he's not wrong. In the grand scheme of things, a weirdo in a mask killing a couple people four decades ago doesn't seem like that big a deal.
Except, maybe, to the people he murdered.
The movie goes on to answer the question of why Michael Myers is so terrifying by showing that trauma is not relative; that is, horrific events are still horrific to the people they most directly affect even though there may be some larger horror going on somewhere else in the world. Trauma doesn't scale.
Laurie Strode, the young girl who survived an attack by Michael Myers' in 1978, is a grown woman in 2018 with a daughter and granddaughter. She's also quite obviously been severely traumatized by the events of that night. She's had trouble maintaining interpersonal relationships. She clearly has some issues with alcohol. Most notably, she lives in a fortified, self-reliant house in the middle of the woods filled with enough weapons and suppliers to make any survivalist insanely jealous. Because of Laurie's encounter with Michael Myers, she's basically become a doomsday prepper, albeit one that isn't just indulging in a bizarrely intense and life-altering hobby to justify their fantasies of shooting strangers in the face in a post-apocalyptic hellscape for trying to steal their freeze-dried chicken salad. And before any actual doomsday preppers who might be reading this get ready to write me a sternly worded email (hopefully you have that solar panel hooked up correctly), let me remind you that it was the movie that used the prepper trope as social indicator of mental instability. I mean, the movie is correct, but still.
As the audience we, of course, know that Laurie's paranoia is justified, but in the world of the film itself, this makes Laurie feel like real person. She was severely traumatized by horrific events that happened to her, like any normal person would be. The person she became was also, in some sense, birthed on that night that he came home.
This ties into the other major thematic thread of how evil inspires more evil. And also how it inspires its opposite.
Early on in Halloween 2018, Michael Myers is visited by a couple of podcasters looking for a big scoop to boost their audience. They try to provoke a response from Myers by presenting him with his infamous mask that he wore that night in '78. This does not provoke a response from Myers, but it does send the rest of the patients in the courtyard into a frenzy, with most of them howling like lunatics on a full moon. One gets the sense that Michael Myers' evil by its very nature begets evil.
This is made more explicit later in the film when Dr. Ranbir Sartain (Haluk Bilginer), the doctor who took over "treatment" of Michael Myers after Loomis died (and who Laurie not-so-subtly dubs "the new Loomis" at one point), murders a police officer in order to prevent him from double-tapping Myers in the skull to confirm the kill this time. It turns out that Dr. Sartain, in a desperate bid to understand a patient so impenetrable that nobody has been able to get him to utter a single word in more than half a century, is obsessed with Michael Myers and making some kind of breakthrough with him. After years of clinical observation, Dr. Sartain wants to study Myers in the wild, so to speak, and helps arrange his transfer to a new facility earlier in the film at least in part to provide him with the chance to escape (or even outright helping him escape; the film leaves this fairly ambiguous).
There's something about Dr. Sartain's frustration that rings surprisingly true. In the context of the movie, it feels almost like Michael Myers' insanity is so acute that it inspires insanity in others around him. Dr. Sartain no doubt started treating Michael Myers with the best of intentions, but in the end he was the one who cracked, risking the lives of innocent people to satisfy his curiosity about Myers' psychology.
It's Dr. Sartain who ultimately engineers Laurie Strode's reunion with Michael Myers to try and provoke a response and discern something about the killer's seemingly indecipherable motivations. He even suggest some kind of symbiotic relationship between the two:
"I would suspect the notion of being a predator or the fear of becoming prey keeps both of them alive."
Like Dr. Sartain, Laurie was also inspired by Michael Myers' evil.
Unlike Dr. Sartain, she was inspired to fight back.
Dr. Sartain fell victim to Michael Myers' corruption, seeking to try to understand it, to learn something from it. Laurie, through all of the trauma and the failed relationships and substance abuse and doomsday prepping never stopped fighting. She failed, certainly, and was knocked down. But she always got back up and kept moving forward. The lesson Laurie learned that there was some evil that couldn't be understood, only destroyed. In the end, Michael Myers loses because of the determination he inspires in some of his would-be victims.
In a way, Laurie Strode does become a mirror of Michael Myers. The film goes out of its way to recreate specific shots from the original Halloween 1978 this time reversed so that Laurie takes the place of Myers. There's an especially brilliant beat at the end of Halloween 2018 that recreates the ending of the first film, this time with Michael Myers looking out over a balcony for Laurie Strode's body to confirm the kill only to find that Laurie vanished as mysteriously as he originally had. Laurie seems to be weak in all the ways that Michael is strong. But it seems that the reverse is also true.
Michael Myers is physically strong, feels no pain, expresses no empathy, and kills anybody who gets in his way without rhyme or reason.
Laurie Strode is physically a fifty-something woman, does, in fact, feel pain, loves her family, and is super well prepared and organized.
It's Laurie's fortified house and recently slightly less estranged daughter, Karen (Judy Greer), that end up helping save the day. Michael is foiled by the very things that he would never be able to have on his own.
Laurie does, indeed, turn out to be the yin to Michael Myers' yang. The latter seems destined to keep murdering random teens, police officers, and kindly old women just trying to make a sandwich, and the former seems destined to stop him at any cost. While Michael Myers seems to be compelled to do what he does by some unknown force, Laurie consciously chooses to fight back against him, even when everybody else is trying to convince her that she's the crazy one (all doomsday prepping aside).
Now that's a whole lot more compelling than long-lost siblings.

Modern English grammar is the result of a gradual change from a typical Indo-European dependent marking pattern with a rich inflectional morphology and relatively free word order to a mostly analytic pattern with little inflection, a fairly fixed SVO word order and a complex syntax. Modern English relies more on auxiliary verbs and word order for the expression of complex tenses, aspect and mood, as well as passive constructions, interrogatives and some negation. Despite noticeable variation among the accents and dialects of English used in different countries and regions – in terms of phonetics and phonology, and sometimes also vocabulary, grammar and spelling – English-speakers from around the world are able to communicate with one another with relative ease.
English is an Indo-European language and belongs to the West Germanic group of the Germanic languages. Old English originated from a Germanic tribal and linguistic continuum along the coast of the North Sea, whose languages are now known as the Anglo-Frisian subgroup within West Germanic. As such, the modern Frisian languages are the closest living relatives of Modern English. Low German/Low Saxon is also closely related, and sometimes English, the Frisian languages, and Low German are grouped together as the Ingvaeonic (North Sea Germanic) languages, though this grouping remains debated. Old English evolved into Middle English, which in turn evolved into Modern English. Particular dialects of Old and Middle English also developed into a number of other Anglic languages, including Scots and the extinct Fingallian and Forth and Bargy (Yola) dialects of Ireland.
Unlike Icelandic or Faroese, the long history of invasions of the British Isles by other peoples and languages, particularly Old Norse and Norman French, left a profound mark of their own on the language, such that English shares substantial vocabulary and grammar similarities with many languages outside its linguistic clades, while also being unintelligible with any of those languages. Some scholars have even argued that English can be considered a mixed language or a creole – a theory called the Middle English creole hypothesis. Although the high degree of influence from these languages on the vocabulary and grammar of Modern English is widely acknowledged, most specialists in language contact do not consider English to be a true mixed language.
The earliest form of English is called Old English or Anglo-Saxon (c. 550–1066 CE). Old English developed from a set of North Sea Germanic dialects originally spoken along the coasts of Frisia, Lower Saxony, Jutland, and Southern Sweden by Germanic tribes known as the Angles, Saxons, and Jutes. In the fifth century, the Anglo-Saxons settled Britain as the Roman economy and administration collapsed. By the seventh century, the Germanic language of the Anglo-Saxons became dominant in Britain, replacing the languages of Roman Britain (43–409 CE): Common Brittonic, a Celtic language, and Latin, brought to Britain by the Roman occupation. England and English (originally Ænglaland and Ænglisc) are named after the Angles.
First, the waves of Norse colonisation of northern parts of the British Isles in the 8th and 9th centuries put Old English into intense contact with Old Norse, a North Germanic language. Norse influence was strongest in the Northeastern varieties of Old English spoken in the Danelaw area around York, which was the centre of Norse colonisation; today these features are still particularly present in Scots and Northern English. However the centre of norsified English seems to have been in the Midlands around Lindsey, and after 920 CE when Lindsey was reincorporated into the Anglo-Saxon polity, Norse features spread from there into English varieties that had not been in intense contact with Norse speakers. Some elements of Norse influence that persist in all English varieties today are the pronouns beginning with th- (they, them, their) which replaced the Anglo-Saxon pronouns with h- (hie, him, hera).
The phonetics and phonology of the English language differ from one dialect to another, usually without interfering with mutual communication. Phonological variation affects the inventory of phonemes (i.e. speech sounds that distinguish meaning), and phonetic variation consists in differences in pronunciation of the phonemes.  This overview mainly describes the standard pronunciations of the United Kingdom and the United States: Received Pronunciation (RP) and General American (GA) (See Section below on "Dialects, accents and varieties").
The vowel /ə/ only occurs in unstressed syllables and is closer in quality when followed by a morpheme-internal consonant and opener when morpheme-final or prevocalic. Some dialects do not contrast /ɪ/ and /ə/ in unstressed positions, so that rabbit and abbot rhyme and Lenin and Lennon are homophonous, a dialect feature called weak vowel merger. GA /ɜr/ and /ər/ are realised as an r-coloured vowel [ɚ], as in further [ˈfɚðɚ] (phonemically /ˈfɜrðər/, which in RP is realised as [ˈfəːðə] (phonemically /ˈfɜːðə/).
Stress in English is phonemic, and some pairs of words are distinguished by stress. For instance, the word contract is stressed on the first syllable (/ˈkɒntrækt/ KON-trakt) when used as a noun, but on the last syllable (/kənˈtrækt/ kən-TRAKT) for most meanings (for example, "reduce in size") when used as a verb. Here stress is connected to vowel reduction: in the noun "contract" the first syllable is stressed and has the unreduced vowel /ɒ/, but in the verb "contract" the first syllable is unstressed and its vowel is reduced to /ə/. Stress is also used to distinguish between words and phrases, so that a compound word receives a single stress unit, but the corresponding phrase has two: e.g. to búrn óut versus a búrnout, and a hótdog versus a hót dóg.
Pronouns are used to refer to entities deictically or anaphorically. A deictic pronoun points to some person or object by identifying it relative to the speech situation — for example, the pronoun I identifies the speaker, and the pronoun you, the addressee. Anaphorical pronouns such as that refer back to an entity already mentioned or assumed by the speaker to be known by the audience, for example in the sentence I already told you that. The reflexive pronouns are used when the oblique argument is identical to the subject of a phrase (e.g. "he sent it to himself" or "she braced herself for impact").
English is a rich language in terms of vocabulary, containing more synonyms than any other language. There are words which appear on the surface to mean exactly the same thing but which, in fact, have slightly different shades of meaning and must be chosen appropriately if a speaker wants to convey precisely the message intended. It is generally stated that English has around 170,000 words, or 220,000 if obsolete words are counted; this estimate is based on the last full edition of the Oxford English Dictionary from 1989. Over half of these words are nouns, a quarter adjectives, and a seventh verbs. There is one count that puts the English vocabulary at about 1 million words – but that count presumably includes words such as Latin species names, scientific terminology, botanical terms, prefixed and suffixed words, jargon, foreign words of extremely limited English use, and technical acronyms.
Nonetheless this attrition has mostly affected dialectal variation in grammar and vocabulary, and in fact, only 3 percent of the English population actually speak RP, the remainder speaking regional accents and dialects with varying degrees of RP influence. There is also variability within RP, particularly along class lines between Upper and Middle-class RP speakers and between native RP speakers and speakers who adopt RP later in life. Within Britain, there is also considerable variation along lines of social class, and some traits though exceedingly common are considered "non-standard" and are associated with lower class speakers and identities. An example of this is H-dropping, which was historically a feature of lower-class London English, particularly Cockney, and can now be heard in the local accents of most parts of England — yet it remains largely absent in broadcasting and among the upper crust of British society.

Fascinating Viking symbols and their meanings
Friday, January 29, 2021 at 7:54 PM by Adrianna Simwa
If you love history, then Viking symbols will fascinate you. The Vikings, Scandinavians who raided and traded from Northern European homelands from the late 8th to late 11th centuries, were well known and feared in Europe.
Image: facebook.com, @vicking
They were able to achieve a lot of what they did because of their belief. Their symbols played a major role in the Viking culture. They were mostly a representation of their faith. These signs capture how the group related to their gods.
The signs are also referred to as Norse symbols. The article focuses on a few of the most crucial symbols that you can easily spot on ancient accessories and pieces of jewelry. The signs represented a blessing or a curse.
Top Viking symbols and meanings
Which is your favorite Viking symbol? There are different Viking designs that existed back then. In most cases, the symbols were used to signify specific aspects of life. The list below captures different Norse symbols and meanings. They include:
1. Valknut
Image: facebook.com, @valknut
This is probably one of the most common and powerful symbols. It is also known by different names, including Odin's knot, Hrungnir's heart, the knot of the slain warrior, or the Heart of Vala. If you were wondering what the viking knot is, then this is it. The Valknut is derived from two different words: 'Valr' which means slain warrior and 'knut,' which means knot.
Based on the Norse faith, in Valhalla, which is the Hall of the Slain, Odin, the god of death and war in Norse mythology, would welcome the warriors that have been slain or killed in battle. The fact that many Viking tombs had the Valknut sign, or animals that were linked to the god, many experts concluded that the Valknut is Odin's symbol.
The symbol is represented by the nine corners of three triangles that form the Valknut symbol. It also means nine worlds of Norse mythology as well as a life cycle through pregnancy and motherhood.
2. Yggdrasil
Image: facebook.com, @the kagoldjewelry
Yggdrasil is the Tree of Life. It is not only one of the most prominent Viking symbols but also one of the most important elements of the Norse faith itself. If you are a keen follower of the ancient Greek mythology, then you know how crucial this symbol is.
Based on the Norse mythology, Yggdrasil refers to the great tree connecting the nine worlds or the nine realms of the universe. These are:
Svartalfheim
Muspelheim
Jotunheim
Vanaheim
Niflheim
Helheim.
This explains why the symbol is considered the interconnectedness sign of all things in the universe. Yggdrasil stands in a spring of water according to the Norse faith, which suggests that all life comes from water. That is one of the reasons why it is called the Tree of Life.
The symbol of Yggdrasil appears in the mythology of numerous ancient cultures as a symbol of the connection of all the things in the world. It shows that nothing can die and that everything is in the constant state of unending and continuous transformation.
It is also believed that Yggdrasil's fruits provide youth for the gods. In a rather critical belief by Norse mythology, it is considered that the end of the word will be caused by Ragnarok – which is the battle between gods.
The result will be the survival of only one man and woman who will hide inside the hollow of the tree. They will leave the tree to provide a new life on the word. Therefore, the Tree of Life is also considered a tree that will protect the entity from Ragnarok.
In other considerations, the Yggdrasil was not only believed to be a tree of life but also a "tree of terror." This is because the Yggdrasil was the tree on which Odin hung when he decided to sacrifice himself to himself as a quest for wisdom.
In addition to that, the cruel, death dragon Nidhoggr gnaws at the tree's roots while an eagle is flying and nestling in its upper branches and Ratatoskr, a squirrel, is running up and down delivering the message between the two.
3. Aegishjalmr/ Aegishjalmur
Image: facebook.com, @aegishjalmr
It is also referred to as the Helm of Awe and terror. It is a rune stave known as a Viking symbol of protection. The symbol comprises two old Norse languages aegis which means, 'shield' and hjalmr, which means 'helm'. However, helm, in this case, refers to 'the forefront'. Historically, the Viking warriors used to draw Aegishjalmr on their foreheads. This would serve as a protective measure, as well as scare aware their enemies.
Like most of the other symbols in this category, the Aegishjalmur is mentioned in a couple of sagas regarding the deeds of the Viking heroes. This includes the Völsunga Saga. Today, the symbol is often drawn in tattoos. Those who prefer having it believe that they are protected, especially if they are Asatru believers.
A lot of Vikings painted the Aegishjalmur symbol on their helmets or armor. They had this belief that the Aegishjalmur symbol offered necessary protection and power during wars. Most of them also considered this symbol as a powerful tool to create fear in their enemies.
The depiction of the Aegishjalmur symbol can be found in a vast number of Norse writings that include the Völsunga sagas and poems by Edda. The two describe how Fafnir, dragon, explains how he can use Aegishjalmur to become invisible.
4. Vegvisir
Image: facebook.com, @cthulhucoven
It is commonly referred to as the Runic compass. Some experts have named it the Viking compass or the Viking symbol of guidance. It refers to 'That which shows the way.' The similarity between it and the Aegishjalmr sometimes causes confusion between them. It also the rune staves.
It is the Nordic compass that is believed to offer guidance for a person who is likely to lose or one who has already lost his way. It was used on Viking ships before they set sail. This was a way of ensuring that they would come back home safely. Even so, the fact that there are few references showing its origin, its originality has been contested.
This is one of the ancient Viking symbols that was considered essential for Vikings assistants. They believed the Vegvisir, offered them the necessary assistance and guidance to people who lost their path in life. Vikings may have had the right instruments to help them find life's direction such as sunstones, and Uunartoq disc, the more important part of navigation tools were visual cues. These, in addition to their keen sense of direction, worked wonders.
If you consider the fact that Vikings used to face various sea disasters, you can understand they wanted magical help to accompany them. This Vegvisir sign can be found in the Huld Manuscript. Despite not having information about its age, it is believed to have links with the Icelandic people, who are the descendants of Vikings. They have spent all their life sailing in the wild oceans using the sign's assistance.
Apart from the belief of safe voyage, Vikings used the symbol and drew it on the Viking ships before they set sail to ensure they will come back home safe and un-injured.
5. The Triple Horn of Odin or the Horn Triskelion
Image: facebook.com, @thetriplehornofodin
The Triple Horn of Odin is a Viking symbol that consists of three interlocking horns. These horns represent the three horns in the myth of Odin and his quest for the magical mead, Odhroerir/Óðrerir, famously known as the Mead of Poetry.
According to ancient belief, the two dwarves whose names were Fjalar and Galar killed Kvasir – a being that was created from the spit of Vanir and Æsir/Aesir. These are considered the 2 factions of gods in Norse mythology that understood all things and had answers to all questions.
The dwarves mixed Kvasir's blood with honey and poured it in three horns named Óðrœrir or Odhroerir, Boðn, and Són. It is said that Odin used his smartness to trick Gunnlöð, a giantess.
He convinced her to allow him to have a sip of the mead for three days when only a single sip a day was acceptable. Odin cunningly used a whole horn for each time, thus draining all of the Mead of Poetry. He gained power and transformed into an eagle, which made it possible for him to escape.
6. Mjölnir
Image: facebook.com, @ukwithces&pagans
It is also known as the hammer of Thor, which symbolizes strength and protection. Throughout history, it is one of the most authentic and significant symbols in Norse mythology. The Mjölnir/ Thor's hammer has been replicated in different artworks and even in modern movies, indicating its popularity and significance. Even though it is from an ancient time, it still holds so much power historically and in present times.
Historians and experts have come across different meanings of the symbol. One of the earlier meanings claims that the Mjöllnir means 'lightning.' Other notable experts suggest that it could mean white like the color of lightning. It has also been linked with 'new snow' in a way that it represents purity.
Another varied interpretation means crushing/ to crush. The mythology refers to the hammer as a tool used by Thor on many occasions for varied things. He used it to consecrate things, bringing them from the realm of chaos into the sacred realm, known as cosmos.
A different belief claims that he used Mjölnir to bless marriages and offer couples fertility as a token. Thor was known to be the people's protector. His tool against chaos was the Mjölnir. He fought giants and guarded the cosmos against the giants by crushing them with the hammer. It is not surprising, therefore, that the hammer of Thor is considered a Norse symbol of protection.
In more relatable events, the Viking warriors would wear Thor's Hammer as an amulet whenever they set out to battle. The amulet would offer protection. This tradition conditioned even when most of the Vikings transformed and adopted Christianity as their religion. The amulets would be worn alongside Christian crosses. Today, besides being a famous Norse protection symbol, Mjölnir represents the Germanic Neopaganism faith known as Heathenry or Heathenism.
7. The Sw*stika
Image: facebook.com, @jayadivinecrafts
While there are several Viking symbols that may have lost meaning, the Sw*stika is most definitely the one that almost lost its true meaning. The sign was used for consecration and blessing by Vikings and Indo-Europeans. It was utilized in a manner that is very similar to Mjölnir. It was appropriated by Hitler and the N*zi party and is unfortunately widely linked to only that from the time.
The sign remains one of those that brings luck and holiness. It is still considered a lucky charm, and a tool that could deliver one from a chaotic situation to one of prosperity, strength, and success.
8. Svefnthorn
Image: facebook.com, @norsefiles
The Svefnthorn is one of the most authentic Viking symbols that was mentioned countless times in several Norse sagas, including The Saga of the Volsungs, The Saga of King Hrolf Kraki as well as Gongu-Hrolf's Saga. Its appearance, definition as well as magical qualities may be different in every myth, all the stories have one thing in common, and that is the fact that the Svefnthorn was mainly used to put one's enemies to sleep.
This sign was utilized by both people and gods to subject enemies to a long and deep sleep. In an example that many can relate with, Odin put Valkyrie Brynhildr/Brunhild into a deep sleep in the Saga of the Volsungs. The lady remained in the state of deep slumber until she was saved by Sigurd.
Queen Olof also made use of the Svefnthorn to put King Helgi to sleep in the saga of King Hrolf Kraki, and he remained in that state for several hours. Vilhjalmr, on the other hand, used it on Hrolf in Gongu-Hrolf's saga. Hrolf did not wake up until the next day.
9. Huginn and Muninn or the Twin Ravens of Odin
Image: facebook.com, @huginnandmuninn
Apart from the famous Viking knotwork, the Huginn and Muninn signs are also popular. These are the two ravens that served and worked for Odin the Allfather as reliable messengers. In different artworks that have been done, they are often depicted sitting on his shoulders.
Huginn and Muninn were sent to fly around the world in a day. They had been empowered and given the ability to understand human language, as well as converse with people.
Some experts have also suggested that Huginn and Muninn may be projections of Odin's consciousness. 'Huginn' and 'Muninn' literally mean 'thought' and 'mind,' respectively, something that strengthens this theory.
Which of the above-mentioned Viking symbols did you like most? Each of them is unique and different. If you are looking for a sign from the past to inspire you to do something, Vikings signs can be a great place to start.
