the self must also die;
I know one thing which never dies:
the reputation of each dead man."

Hello! Welcome to my corner of Wikipedia. Of course, if you're not seeing this on Wikipedia, you know where it comes from. I largely focus on topics relating to the beliefs, practices, culture and values of the Germanic peoples and the ongoing influence thereof into the modern age.

I strongly believe in politeness, thorough sourcing, neutral wording and am very much opposed to censorship. I feel that an article should be easy to read, sources should be frankly stated up front and corners should never be cut. I hope that my edits here reflect this. Feel free to use my talk page if you have any questions or comments and I will respond to them there.

Articles I've developed or contributed heavily to that have reached (and remain) GA status:

[edit] Future work notes

Here's a list of things I intend to get around to but have not yet for one reason or another. If you can help, you are most welcome to.

Alu (runic): Needs expansion.
Nine Herbs Charm: Needs further expansion.
Frigg: Badly needs an overhaul from the ground up, especially "myths" converted into a structured system of ancient sources.
Hel (location): Needs more information regarding the Icelandic Sagas.
Godwulf: Near completion, all surviving sources cited. Needs a little bit of commentary regarding how commonly it is cited in some genealogies in England.
Beowa: Needs more information and precise sources, as well as ancestral chart.
Thor: Needs more information regarding Thor's non-Icelandic association with oaks and information currently in "characteristics" broken down into specific sources.
Corn dolly: Needs plenty of attention.
Hengest: Needs rehaul.
Neorxnawang: Needs expansion.
Runic alphabet: Needs major work, including overhaul and standardization of individual rune articles.
Valravn: Needs more information.
Zisa (goddess) Expansion.
Æcerbot: Needs expansion.
Æsir-Vanir War: Theories need fleshing out.
