Hail!
Today will be a remembrance and a prayer day. Here's some info about Unn the Deep Minded.
Unn was a powerful figure from the Laxdaela Saga who emigrated to
Scotland to avoid the hostility of King Harald Finehair. She established
dynasties in the Orkney and Faroe Islands by carefully marrying off her
grand daughters. As a settler in Iceland she continued to exhibit all
those traits which were her hallmark-strong will, a determination to
control, dignity, and a noble character. In the last days of her life,
she established a mighty line choosing one of her grandsons as her heir.
She died during his wedding celebration, presumable accomplishing her
goals and worked out her orlog here in Midgard. She received a typical
Nordic ship burial, surrounded by her treasure and her reputation for
great deeds.
Odin's World Prayer day will focus on those fighting to finally rid the Middle East of Daesh. I wish them well and may Odin and Thor give them the strength to continue to fight.
