Njordr and Odin

After the outer Feast of Saint Nicholas comes the inner rememberance of the two shadowy figures that stand behind him, Njordr, Lord of the Sea and King of the Vanir and Odin the Raider of the Heavens. Odin the proto wizard, the ancient Hermes, the Thoth of the North. He is Legba. He is the Father of More the Lies, the God of Jacob, the Tricking and Teaching One. He is not necessarily the Lord of a good Noble and Straightforward spirit.

Njordr is not Poseidon. Poseidon has not wisdom. Njordr is the Old Man of the Sea. He is Agwe. He is Nereus and Pontus himself. He is the Vanir that left the Vanir but will return to them in the end. In the Norse stories, the Vanir are a mystery. None know where the come from. The Asa are born from the Jotuns and fight the Jotuns and build the world. They fight at Ragnarok and are killed. But the Vanir are who they discover, the other gods, who live in the same land were Asgard is established. They are above the matters of the apparent world, and Njordr, who comes from them, will in the end return to them and not be part of the Ragnarok. He is of the deepest place because he is of the highest place. He is in time and the in the earth, but outside of both, being before them. This day is the Feast of the Immaculate Conception and in this House Mary is identified with Our Lady of San Juan los Lagos, the Lady of the Waters, the female counterpart and otherself of might Njordr.
