This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

Surely the fact that Silk is an analog of Odin must have been mentioned
here?

Black bird.  One eye.   Staff.



I know that I hung
in the windtorn tree
nine long nights
weapon-wounded,
consecrated to Odin
myself to my Self above
in the tree, whereof none knows
the root whence it sprang



Slepnir, the eight-legged horse!!!



How long was Silk in the pit?   Nine days?
