1	Mr X Wed 4/16/2008 12:30p	Come on, folks. Let's all show some love for old Sokk-mimi. Talk about falling on hard times, this former deity doesn't even merit a Google page these days! It's a fall from grace of epic proportions, I tell ya. So, come on. Let's all get behind good old Sokk-mimi. Tell some stories, sing some songs, scare some kids into behavin like they should! Go Sokk-mimi! :D
2	Lady Starlight Wed 4/16/2008 12:47p	I'm sorry but I have to ask . What is Sokk-mimi? I'm not very cultured so I'm a bit lost on this one. Please explain this to me if you would be so kind. Thank You. :-)
3	davewasbaloo Wed 4/16/2008 12:49p	Sokk-mimi is a now ancient god that is no longer worshiped, and nor can be googled.
4	davewasbaloo Wed 4/16/2008 12:54p	But, greater than any of the other sons of Don would seem to have been Gwydion, who appears in British myth as ‘Culture-Hero,’ the teacher of arts and giver of gifts to his fellows. His name and attributes have caused more than one leading mythologist to conjecture whether he may not have been identical with a still greater figure, the eutonic Woden, or Odin. Professor Rhfs, especially, has drawn, in his Hibbert Lectures (1886) on Celtic Heathendom, a remarkable series of parallels between the two characters, as they are figured respectively in Celtic and Teutonic myth.’ Both were alike preeminent in war-craft and in the arts of storytelling, poetry, and magic, and both gained through painful experiences the lore which they placed at the service of mankind. This is represented on the Celtic side by the poetical inspiration which Gwydion acquired through his sufferings while in the power of the gods of Hades, and in Teutonic story by two draughts of wisdom, one which Woden obtained by guile from Gundfled,daughter of the giant Suptung, and another which he could only get by pledging one of his eyes to its owner Sokk-mimi, the Giant of the Abyss.
5	Lady Starlight Wed 4/16/2008 12:55p	Thanks Dave but, umm...I'm still lost.I'm really trying to catch the meaning of the thread,but my brain isnt lettin me today. I'm honestly embarrassed to even be asking questions about what Sokk-mimi is and how we r supposed to respond. Im showing my bubbles when I ask.. is this a sarcastic thread? LOL like tellin stories about the Loc Ness monster or Big Foot? I'm really really sorry .I'm truely still lost.
6	davewasbaloo Wed 4/16/2008 12:58p	There have been a number of threads recently about religion. Then the question arose about whether there was one religion, and the fact there are so many dead religions (Islam is growing while Christianity is in decline). And then of the 500 dead gods, this was a look if we should resurrect sokk-mimi, celtic god of the abyss.
7	Lady Starlight Wed 4/16/2008 12:58p	ok OK, I'm gonna sit this one out it's too much for my bubble machine to handle. I'll just read others posts and sell popcorn, s'mores and hot chocolate.. well it's gettin closer to summer time so maybe I'll sell Lemonade/Ice tea, ice cream and chocolate chip cookies instead. Have at it peeps. :-)
8	Mr X Wed 4/16/2008 12:58p	It's just that Sokk is my favorite dead god, and I feel bad for the lack of google coverage! Great story, Dave! It's play pen though, you can just make one up next time. Like that time that Sokk-mimi had a battle with the evil wizard of hemlock sherlock, but then his sword broke and the two of em just started laughing about it, til Sokk fried him with his laser vision. ;)
9	Lady Starlight Wed 4/16/2008 1:00p	Thank you for trying to help me understand it all though Dave! HUGS to you!
10	Lady Starlight Wed 4/16/2008 1:01p	Ohhh Captain Underpants'ish..got it! Now that's more my speed ;-)
