In an earlier article, I said that Wagner said that Odin gave an eye for love of his wife Freya.

People wrote back that I got the names wrong.

I was quoting Wagner.

I was quoting a romantic who got the whole thing wrong. No, Wagner did not know the proper names.

None of which is the point. I am too old to nitpick. I am not speaking from Authority as an Odinist theologian. I am saying that romantic Odinists are silly. I am saying that the real thought of the old German religion is fundamental to the entire basis of our going to the stars.

A good way not to get what I am talking about is to show off your knowledge of details.
