A Cold Saturday Morning

by notanotherblogger @ 2008-03-22 - 07:05:03

It's bloody cold out there this morning folks, well it is here, even the dog ( a bitch really, but not in the American bitchy way) wasn't too keen to venture out this morning. I went for a seat in the smallest room in the house, and it was bloody cold in there this morning. Normally I'd open the window, after doing my business, and it was rather whiffy, but it's too cold for that this morning.
So did everybody have a good Good Friday then? I haven't been doing much reading lately, but I'll get back to it soon. Still no sign of Antlady, I wonder where she is? I miss my Antlady, she's not exclusively mine, and really, I'm more hers than she is mine, if you follow, if you don't then it doesn't matter. I just hope that she is alright, that's all.
I found out from a Heathen friend of mine ( yes I do have some, that's friends, and not Heathens, although I do have both, not actually on me, or living under my roof, with me, but I have Heathen Friends) told me that Easter comes from the Heathen Festival called Oestre ( will you hang on a bit, I've gotta go and check the facts out before I tell you them, I don't wanna be telling you any falsehoods) It is named after a Germanic Godess, and the eggs are to do with the Heathen festival too, as they were a fertility symbol, and nothing to do with Christians at all.
Oestre was a spring-time festival, with much eating, drinking and shagging, I think that the Heathens have got this festival thing sorted out much better than the Christians have. All they do is go to church, and pray. What would you rather do? Got to church, sing a few crappy, solemn songs, and pray? Or have a big party to celebrate Oestre, eat, drink and be merry, then do a bit of rumpy-pumpy ( that's the shagging bit) to celebrate the on-coming of Spring? I know which one I'd rather do.
Oh the qualifying for the Malaysian F1 Grand Prix is on now ( Prix is pronounced "Pree" as in free, and not "Pricks" as in dicks, it's a French thing) so gotta go. Thank you for stopping by here, and reading this thing that I do in this place that I do it in. Have we learnt anything today? Yes we have learned about the Heathen/Pagan Festival of Oestre, which was hijacked by the Christians. We also learnt that it's bloody cold outside today. Cheers..

seems it is true about Oestre. I just googled it. It is named after a German Goddess Ostara. In German Easter is called Ostern, although ost means east, so I thought it was some sort of translation from the English, but maybe the common root is Oestre. As I said in one of my comments, Christian festivals often integrate the best from the pagan ones, so looks like here is a classic case. I like the idea of the shagging however, that part does not seem to have been integrated - yet ;)

Give it time SJ, it may well get integrated into it. Wasn't there a Pope in the past that was a bit of a shagger? Borja or something like that, there was a series about the family, it may be Borga, I'm not sure, I only remember the important bits, like the shagging, a great series that was, if you haven't seen it, you should. Cheers..

Ah, so I DO have a slave after all! Good to know ...
