Reina Sigrith\, widow of Rey Erik the victorious one of Sweden\, was promised in marriage to king Olaf Tryggvason with the condition of which the queen became to the Christianity. I do not think to leave my beliefs\, nor those of mine\, she responded. Olaf struck it with a glove and she left\, but she later took revenge years when urging the battle in which Tryggvason died. Beam five things by asatru\, one by each finger of the glove of Olaf\, and remembers that great lady.
Fogmoon 9 - Day of Remembrance for Queen Sigrith of Sweden: When Olaf the Lawbreaker had been king of Norway for three years\, he asked Queen Sigrith of Sweden to marry him. She agreed\, but when he insisted that she give up her ancestral Gods Sigrith replied\, I do not mean to abandon the faith I have led\, and my kinsmen before me. Nor shall I object to your belief in the god you prefer. As usual Heathen tolerance was met with kristjan imprecations and a blow to the face. The wedding was off - depriving Olaf of political power that could have sped the christianization of Scandinavia. As it were\, history tells us that the Heathens held on for over 300 more years in the Northlands.

Devotee follower of the great God Odin\, the paradoxical character of Egil is the alive reflection of the nature of his God mentor. The saga of Egil Skallagrimsson reads\, writes a poem\, you do toast in her memory and honor to the Gentleman of the Runas! Day of Remembrance for Egil Skallagrimsson: Odin was his God\, and the blood of berserks and shape-shifters ran in his family. His lust for gold and for fames was insatiable. Yet the same man was passionately moved by the love of his friends and generously opened handed to those who found his favor. The same brain that seethed with war-fury also composed skaldic poetry capable of calming angry kings. Can it be by accident that Egil worshipped Odin\, the great solver of paradoxes and riddles? Indeed all Asafolk - but especially those who follow the one-eyed God of battle and magic - can learn much from the life of this amazing man. http:"asatru.org"Holidays.html pagancalendar.co.uk STATUS:CONFIRMED SUMMARY:Day of Egil Skallagrimsson URL:http://www.pagancalendar.co.uk/includes/event.php?id=218 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT RRULE:FREQ=YEARLY;INTERVAL=1;BYMONTH=12 DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20061220 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20061221 DTSTAMP:20061025T215232Z UID:zRKuTE1wKukw86lRmAUseDjMu7Sf CLASS:PUBLIC DESCRIPTION:December"Yule 20 Mother Night - Beginning of Yule (Sacred to Frigga)Moth er Night: As the night before the Winter Solstice\, this is the time when the New Year is born.
