In answering my first question his tone was at first very enigmatic, as if first chiding and then mocking me for asking about something very obvious (for what it's worth, I asked this understanding what all we racists understand, but when enquiring in this way and seeking genuine answers you have to clear your mind of all presuppositions and simply listen as if you don't know anything). So much behind these answers isn't conveyed in the words at all but more intuitively, and I'm confident in sharing that the Old Norse term 'menn' should here be considered to encompass mainly northern people (at the very least not limited to strictly the Indo-Europæans, I'm not sure I'm comfortable extrapolating beyond Europe on that one without making a separate question of it). Interestingly, whilst Miðgarðʀ here did come with some physical connotations (I got the feeling of, again, a specific northern area rather than the globe as a whole) there was also an important 'meta' element that I would best attempt to describe as a religion(s)-and-worldview superstructure. Lots more to be uncovered there, I'm sure - as always. The Eye of Majesty I've some hints on but may keep close for now pending any interesting conversation in the comments, one more overt level of this though I'll say is simply a look in the eyes of certain people. I'll refer to Pt I of the recent 'On Matters Spiritual & Secular' essay and reiterate the understanding that there are people out there with very important pre-birth links to some of the gods, and Óðinn is definitely one of those playing that 'metagenetic' game. Each smaller statement within the High One's answer to this first question can be understood as describing a narrower and narrower group of folk in various ways and degrees related to him in this question's context.

The second question saw him warming up almost as much as Athena's revelation on "the pinnacle of Excellence in victorious strategy". Not only was it beautiful seeing something conveyed from happier times, but it was obvious that (even though I wouldn't put it past him to have strategically brought about the war in the first place for that express purpose) the Victory-father was immensely proud of the Æsir-Ꝩanir union as magnificent achievement in preparing for the hard future so far ahead. I *believe* "the Ring" he refers to may be Draupnir; Draupnir is certainly "the Ring" I asked about in my last question, following up on some recent developements in personal practice.

The third question's 'answer' was a bit flat of course, all I'll say is that I certainly didn't invent gatekeeping - it's simply the right thing to do when you've been entrusted with something sacred. To ensure the worthiness of any who come after you, and to treat it as SACRED, not as yours to just give away.

It's very possible that the Hanged God's answer to the fourth question was worded that way just to make fun of Crowley, whether or not this is so (it probably is, I don't think he misses much of anything) it's still hilarious.

The fifth question's answer is the main reason I'm so surprised at being instructed to share all this here, but I can only say that following this operation through will bring on *very* interesting times indeed. With no more exhausting prefacing from me, I'll forward here those previous notes and then transcribe these latest questions and answers.
