Petur, As I listen to you expound your theories in these exchanges, expressing both your own present feelings and what seems to be an authentic Icelandic...
Dear Ernest, Thank you. Perhaps a C.I. is similar to what painters do when they do a natural rendering of a landscape. It is surprising to see how unlike it is...

Duane, my brother bought me this for my birthday last week. It is excellently referenced and well researched. It certainly is not a 'coffee table tome'. Pete...
Thanks, Petur. I would also think that some kind of geomancy might have been used to come to the rescue as a corrective to realign things. John In a message...

Dear Ernest, John and Bibal Very many concepts of the Icelandic CI. come from ancient India and the middle East as mentioned in Einars books. Even though the...

Dear Richard! Recently I stumbled upon the website of the Catholic Apologetics International, in my view an extremely fundamentalistic group. There is a ...

True. That's probably why the Iliad begins in medias res. I wonder how the "hidden" or second-level mean affected literature. At any rate, we may have some...

Greetings Mr. Labuschagne, Richard, and all, You're right that the CAI Web site is not very scholarly, in the sense that the writers are not aware of...
Casper, Rodger, Jim and all, The online article you reference is indeed a very odd mixture of sundry bits and pieces, drawn with great selectivity. For example...
John, This is an interesting suggestion. In a cultural context in which "division" normatively implies halving, the arithmetic mean "leads the way" toward...
