The official Flag of Georgia is the "Five-cross Flag", restored to official use on January 14, 2004, after a break of some 500 years. It was previously the flag of the medieval Georgian kingdom.


Originally, the white flag with the single red St. George's cross was used by the Georgian King Vakhtang Gorgasali in the 5th century as the national symbol of the Georgian state and nation. During the golden age of the ...

My copies of A New Introduction to Old Norse and a 6' 2.5" stave of yew finally showed up in the mail. The Grammar book has really helped me out, and will continue to do so I'm sure, on grasping the language conventions that will help me with this Runic study.

And in the time honored tradition of modern Heathenry, I've finally come up with a fitting personal name, but I won't make it concrete until I'm done with the yew stave.

So I've been reading, or more appropriately: delving, into Edred Thorsson's A Handbook of Rune Magic. And I've got to say, is understanding of such things strikes me as...happy shiny people laughing. His technique appears to be solid, mind, but his rune interpretation leaves me feeling out of sorts. I'm sure there are plenty of people out there who wholeheartedly jump on Thorsson's wagon, so it's really just me personally having trouble with it.

I love the book's appendixes though. ...

I'm in the process of taking back up one of the things I was taught as a boy, specifically leather craft. Some months ago I purchased a kit to get back into it, and now I'm going to start on it. I'm using my blog space as a sort of journal for the work, give me a place to update my progress and keep me focused.

First thing: deciding the designs. Still working on that, but I plan on taking my drawing pad here and experimenting until I find something I like. I have been trying ...

It's certainly not an accurate topic, a lot of this geneaology is based on old records, probably not all of it correct, and the further back you go, the more inaccurate it gets..but it's still what is commonly accepted, so I'll play along. I found it slightly disturbing the amount of times people eventually ended up marrying their cousins (not necessarly direct ones, though)..or maybe I shouldn't, it was rather common practice at the time, it probably also means I'm descendent of people with serious ...

My vacation from the forum has ended and I've returned. I'll get to posting something of the [I]America Fuck Yeah[/I] variety sooner or later. :)

A 3rd generation gun is a precious thing. A gun that your parent passed on to you from a grandparent is something money cannot buy.

I wouldn't sell my grandfathers Winchester model 1912 (mfg. 1917) for $100K, and it doesn't even work. I have a Winchester Model 1907 that my father shot deer with in the 1950's He died this last November, just before deer season. That rifle is 100 years old this year and I am going to shoot a buck with it if I have to stay afield for 16 days ...

'Drum major' quote truncates original intention



The memorial was recently dedicated at the National Mall, after which, the surviving King’s family members had a meeting on February 6. This led to the decision ...
