Well, another New Year has begun, so it is officially the start of the 21st century.

So, writing from Australia to all the readers around the world, I wished you a HAPPY NEW YEAR!

I hope your hangover, isn't too bad, because MY HEAD is killing me. I don't normally drink, so I don't know what possess me to do so, last night. Typing even this little message, sound like a stampede or someone playing a drum on my head. ARRGGG!!!!

Yes, I am still alive and well. It's been a long time since I posted anything. Sorry.

I have begun writing some Germanic myth for the section in Norse Mythology. There are two new pages –

German Heroes can be found in the Valhalla menu, while in the Norse Sagas menu, you will find the German epic, the Nibelungenlied. (The Nibelungenlied is another tale of the Nibelungen cycle, but notably different from the Volsunga Saga (a Norse version). The Nibelungenlied and the German Heroes goes together. I wasn't going to do this page, but I had changed my mind.) Please let me know what you think of it.

I have also posted a dozen or more scanned images for the Greek/Roman myths (sorry, I've lost count). The majority of the new images were scanned by Xaryan, last month. So, you should thank her for all these wonderful images. I have only did a couple of new images, also from last month. Unfortunately, I have no images for the new page on the Nibelungenlied.

I have some more new images by Xaryan, but they won't be posted until my next installment.

I have also updated the FAQs page.
