Elaboration

Lets see if I can lay this out. Lets take cave men on one side, and the matrix on the other….Not the movie matrix, but the matrix of global positioning. The grid.

The grid is the result of man’s invention of latitude and longitude taken to the extreme conclusion using GPS mapping. Voila, the grid.

Starting with pre-historic, pre-conscious man, our societies were surrounded by wilderness. “Here there be dragons” was the vast majority of territory of the world.

The frontier was the borderline between the civilized known, and the unknown wilderness. But again, our land was surrounded by Other.

Now, the unknown is surrounded by the known. There is no more frontier on earth. Everything is delineated within the grid.

Similar to the Grid, the Calendar has come to confine time. 365 and ¼ days to make a trip around the sun. Solstice to Solstice. Full moon to full moon. We coordinated our measurement of time by our major celestial neighbors. We gave names to our days from our Gods, and then forgot them. How is that possible. Tier…Tieus… spell it as you will he is the God of Tuesday. And, he is important to this discussion.

The Fenris wolf was a monster spawn of Loki and Angerb??? As he grew in strength, the Gods became afraid of him. Not because of something he had done, but because of his potential for harm.. He respresents chaos. But not the original chaos that precedes order. Chaos of the wild beast nature he possessed growing into full strength and power. The God’s felt the need to establish order before things got too out of hand. To do this, the created glipnear… a strange and majical net, made up of the rare ordinary day to day ingredients, and delivered by Tier. To pull off the deception, Tier sacrificed his hand.

The wolf bit his hand off at the wrist.

Sacrifice…..binding of the wild….. order…... Calendar…… Tuesday.

Which brings us to here. Here is another reversal. Order surrounds chaos. Where chaos was the obvious enemy of “us” now, too much order and regulation has become the enemy….the problem…. We need more wild!

It is much like the optical illusions that reverse themselves by a slight shift in perception. It is two silhouettes. It is a chalice…

Today, Glipnear is made up of double entry accounting, credit scores, and health insurrance credits... common everyday elements... magically mixed together to bind us as surely as Fenris is bound.
