Shlama Akhi,

BTW ??? you are indeed correct about that lord of chaos W*den being etiologically Germanic and not Celtic. Though I did not intentionally mean to make him sound like a general referent to the Celts, I now realize that this is how it sounds. I actually crossed the ???Woads??? (Picts) in my mind with ???W*den??? so you of course are correct. Being of both descents I should???ve remembered that (unless, the tricephalic Lugus was shaped into W*dinaz first). Perhaps I???ll give this a closer look as well (also Gaelic ???Witan??? for Saxony ???Wiccan??? from ???wita/witta??? aesthetically resembles ???Wotan???, doesn???t it)? Hideous, regardless. Etymology is becoming more and more a dearly loved fascination of mine, but I???m a far cry from expert at it. In fact, just looking up ???W*den??? can provide one with a nearly inexhaustible ???woods??? of bunny trails covering half the history of anthropology! I think it all started with Edenics??? The Word and on to The Origin of Speeches; wonderful resources for the Hebraist. Now, if only I can manage to write back by ???Wednes-Day???!
