Represented by the Mythical Centaur Archer
You have women’s rights activists debating the role of of of women in Islam and you also have very conservative people, and in many cases, very dangerous lunatics, violent lunatics but it’s an interesting nexus as to where the future of Islam might be decided. We all should know that worship is just for Allah the Almighty and worship anyone as well Allah the Almighty is strictly forbidden in Islam. You can never reach piety unless you devote of what you love surely Allah will have full knowledge of what you devote. In foretelling the events of Ragnarök, the völva predicts the death of Odin; Odin will fight the monstrous wolf Fenrir during the great battle at Ragnarök. In response, Sigrdrífa told Odin she had sworn a great oath that she would never wed a man who knew fear. At the time, Malcolm X was expounding the philosophy of his spiritual leader, Elijah Muhammad, who, among other things, asserted that the white man was the devil. The emendation of nan to ‘man’ has been proposed. 344, Carnage a.k.a. Cletus Kasady, is basically Venom on steroids, as his physical strength is greater than that of Spider-Man and Venom combined. Regarding Odin, Adam defines him as “frenzy” (Wodan, id est furor) and says that he “rules war and gives people strength against the enemy” and that the people of the temple depict him as wearing armour, “as our people depict Mars”.
On the other hand, some people remain same, just the way they used to be. The god is introduced at length in chapter nine of the Prose Edda book Gylfaginning, which explains that he is described as ruling over Asgard, the domain of the gods, on his throne, that he is the ‘father of all’, and that from him all the gods, all of humankind (by way of Ask and Embla), and everything else he has made or produced. In the Nine Herbs Charm, Woden is said to have slain a wyrm (serpent, Germanic dragon) by way of nine “glory twigs”. The next stanza comments on the creation of the herbs chervil and fennel while hanging in heaven by the ‘wise lord’ (witig drihten) and before sending them down among mankind. Odin is also either directly or indirectly mentioned a few times in the surviving Old English poetic corpus, including the Nine Herbs Charm and likely also the Old English rune poem. After Odin gives her necklaces, she continues to recount more information, including a list of valkyries, referred to as nǫnnor Herians ‘the ladies of War Lord’; in other words, the ladies of Odin. High adds that it is from this association that Odin is referred to as “raven-god”.
The völva tells Odin that she knows where he has hidden his eye; in the spring Mímisbrunnr, and from it “Mímir drinks mead every morning”. Sigurd asks for her name, and the woman gives Sigurd a horn of mead to help him retain her words in his memory. The poem continues in verse, where Sigrdrífa provides Sigurd with knowledge in inscribing runes, mystic wisdom, and prophecy. Sigurd uses his sword Gram to cut the corslet, starting from the neck of the corslet downwards, he continues cutting down her sleeves, and takes the corslet off her. In the prose introduction to the poem Sigrdrífumál, the hero Sigurd rides up to Hindarfell and heads south towards “the land of the Franks”. The poem Völuspá features Odin in a dialogue with an undead völva, who gives him wisdom from ages past and foretells the onset of Ragnarök, the destruction and rebirth of the world.
The poem Hávamál (Old Norse ‘Sayings of the High One’) consists entirely of wisdom verse attributed to Odin. Sigurd asks Sigrdrífa to share with him her wisdom of all worlds. Sigurd enters the skjaldborg, and sees a warrior lying there-asleep and fully armed. On the mountain Sigurd sees a great light, “as if fire were burning, which blazed up to the sky”. Sigurd approaches it, and there he sees a skjaldborg (a tactical formation of shield wall) with a banner flying overhead. A narrative relates that Sigrdrífa explains to Sigurd that there were two kings fighting one another. A prose narrative explains that the woman is named Sigrdrífa and that she is a valkyrie. According to this legend, a “small people” known as the Winnili were ruled by a woman named Gambara who had two sons, Ybor and Aio. The Greeks gave us another such monster, named Cetus by the Romans and enshrined as a constellation. During His eight-month trip to North America, ‘Abdu’l-Bahá gave some 400 public talks and a similar number of private meetings and individual meetings, spoke to as many as 100,000 people, and was covered in hundreds, if not thousands, of newspaper articles.
