SIGURD'S DAY PAGEANT
Sigurd’s Day celebrates the famed dragon-slayer of ancient Germanic legend, who is better known by many today in his later avatar of St. George. The 23rd April is England’s national festival, and I think one can tell the difference between a patriot and an indifferentist by whether one celebrates the day or not. Well, at the Newark Odinist Temple we certainly celebrated it in style with a costumed pageant performed on the podium to the great amusement of our congregation. One visitor waxed lyrical in his praise of our efforts which he had not expected to be part of the day’s events. May I extend hearty thanks to Leo (Sigurd), Paul (Greybeard), George (Fafnir), Finn (King Hjalprek), Richard (musical accompaniment) and me, who played the baddy, Regin! All I can say, is that if we put on the pageant again, it can only improve!
RADIO INTERVIEW
The Newark Odinist Temple is discussed, among other Odinist-related matters, in this interview between the priest-in-charge and Fyrgen Radio. You can copy the link below and paste it into your search engine to listen to it. It is quite amusing. Warning: it is one and a half hours long!
