I have inherited the leadership of The Wings of Truth and Lies Union

Well I have been instated as the new leader of The Wings of Truth & Lies Union. It was a really active union that I was an officer for, and unfortunately the leader got banned a few months ago. So there was a leadership election and I was chosen to take over, but gamespot seemed to take forever to actually make the change, and now I finally have the leadership of the union.

The union is basically for anyone who is interested in the supernatural, horror, the occult, spirituality, magick, mythology et cetera, so if you're interested in any of those things I'd appreciate it if you joined

I'm going to take this opportunity to advertise my other union (this was one that I created a few months ago), The Folklore and Fantasy Union

Fairly self explanitory this one, if you've got any interest in folklore, fantasy, mythology, paganism/heathenism, tolkien and such then please join it

Well thanks for reading, and I hope you join my unions if you haven't already

Runelore, story telling and Quorthon...

I haven't made a blog in a while, mainly because there hasn't been much to write about. But now I have several things to say... First of all, I have applied for 2 jobs today, hopefully I will get one of them One is a job working in Marks & Spencer, and the other in Soletrader. They aren't the best paid jobs in the world, but I need something until I start college next year.

Secondly, as most of you know, I am the leader of The Folklore and Fantasy Union. I have recently decided to start making topics on the union board concerning Anglo-Saxon paganism/heathenism (whatever you want to call it). The first intallment of this little mini-series of threads is about the old saxon rune poem, which I will be writing in increments over the next few weeks in old and modern English. As well as this I will be also writing about the old heathen gods, old saxon folklore and various other things concerning old saxon England.

As well as that, I now have a weekly story thing going with the F&F union, thanks to large amounts of input from itsTolkien_time and SlashDementia3, thanks for all your help guys If you have any interest in writing fantasy or poetry et cetera, please come and join in and let me know if your interested, you will be most welcome

Lastly, I have been buying a lot of cd's lately, too many infact for someone with no income

These purchases are mainly Bathory cd's that I don't own already, and they include Nordland I & II and Blood On Ice, as well as Once Sent From The Golden Hall by Amon Amarth, and a few Moonsorrow albums a couple of weeks ago. I really need to stop spending money >__>

Sorry for the large wall of text, I'll try to keep it shorter next time

Thanks for reading.

My union is up and running :D

Well, I have had an idea to create my own union for a while now, where I can discuss my interests with others who are like me.

The union is called - The Folklore and Fantasy Union

Please join it if you have any interest in folklore, myths and legends, fairytales et cetera, or fantasy, be it in films, games, literature or music.

I want to thank Denny_Carmassi, Meat_Bag, Cody13_2012 and vj02, who helped me get it up and running by becoming charter members, thanks guys

About Me

My main passions in this world are The Lord of the Rings (anything Tolkien really), European mythology, folklore and history, and music - extreme metal (folk, black, doom and power metal mainly), classical and traditional European folk music. I hope to study Archaeology at university in the near future.
