The Creed of the North

I believe in Ase and Van, the Living Expressions of Creation, who eternally walk with our Folk through Midgard. I believe that the Spiritual Essence of Gods and Men alike will be reborn into Creation, until the End of Time.

I believe that the Line of my Ancestors, back to the Beginning, constitutes my Folk, and I honor and revere their memory, and recognize my place in their midst.

I believe in the Norns who tend the Well of Wyrd and Weave the Fates of Men, and in the tree Yggdrasil that stands at the Center of Creation. I believe that all my words and deeds are cast into the Well, and receive their ultimate expression as the Waters that nourish the Tree.

Hail!

Know How To Use a Slide Rule?

Very cool - I remember when my youngest daughter found my old slide rule when we moved once. She couldn't fathom how you could measure anything with it, since it wouldn't lay flat and all the parts moved! I don't think I ever did convice her it was a calculator ...

How many of you have actually used a slide rule? The slide rule was a simple yet powerful and important tool for engineers and scientists before the days of calculators (let alone PCs). In fact, several people I know still prefer to use them. In the interest of preserving this icon we have created a virtual slide rule for you to play with.
