PLEASE NOTE: This page and my activity on Wikipedia are absolutely not an endorsement of the Wikimedia Foundation, which a significant portion of the Wikipedia editor community has come to utterly despise. I agree with them. In fact, until the Wikimedia Foundation is dissolved and replaced with an apparatus willing to focus on Wikipedia's many internal problems, I absolutely do not recommend donating money to Wikipedia: Please take that money and give it to someone that actually needs it. If you choose to further line the pockets of the Wikimedia Foundation, know that there's a very good chance that your money will not go to improving Wikipedia but will instead pay into the mysterious salaries of Wikimedia employees and, when they feel like it, whatever political pet projects they deem appropriate, many of them totally unrelated to Wikipedia. In short, while the Wikimedia Foundation wants you to think otherwise, almost all of Wikipedia's work is done by volunteers like us, not the bloated and inept bureaucracy of the Wikimedia Foundation. Thank you.

Hail to the Day! Hail to the sons of Day!

To Night and her daughter hail!

With placid eyes behold us here,

and here sitting give us victory.

Hail to the Æsir! Hail to the Asyniur!

Hail to the bounteous earth!

Words and wisdom give to us noble twain,

and healing hands while we live!^[1]

and ƿelcome to my corner of Ƿikipedia.

I have a general interest in all things folklore and folklore studies, language and linguistics, and essentially anything to do with history. I am among a far too small group of editors on Wikipedia who specialize in and frequently edit on topics relating to Germanic paganism and Germanic-speaking peoples.

I can also be found active on articles on Slavic, Classical, and general Indo-European topics, and I am a rare editor (or masochist) known to endure WP:FRINGE topics and new religious movement matters.
