RE: a troll

[Guest guest]

Edda is so similar to Veda I am tempted to believe they had heard about it

and decided to write their own : )

 

Today I was at a local footballmatch where the coach of the visiting team

was very happy to win.

Last year somebody shouted Keiko and many others joined him,

because his body has the same shape as a killer whale. ( It is true )

 

It stuck to him and he was even called Keiko by the sports commentators on

TV.

As I can not believe you look like a leprechaum, I prefer to say

Namaste,

 

Seems to me the trolls story is very similar to the Greek clash of

the Titans, and the Hindu Asuras versus Devas etc. Most cultures

seem to have a tradition in this way. Even Odin or Woden of

Wednesday in English has some resonance in the myth of Santa Claus

or Father Christmas. In Irish lore the Leprechaun can be mischevious

also and it is believed to be a defeated race that lived on the

island......common myths and legends.....Call me a Leprechaun if you

wish, that is what my nickname was in the 60s when I lived in the

usa....ONS..Tony.
