Hogwarts, Hogwarts,
Hoggy Warty Hogwarts,
Teach us something please,
Whether we be old and bald,
Or young with scabby knees,
Our heads could do with filling,
With some interesting stuff,
For now they're bare
And full of air,
Dead flies and bits of fluff.
So teach us stuff worth knowing,
Bring back what we forgot,
Just do your best
We'll do the rest,
And learn until our brains all rot!





Victimae paschali laudes
Immolent Christiani.
Agnus redemit oves:
Christus innocens Patri
Reconciliavit peccatores.
Mors et vita duello
Conflixere mirando:
Dux vitae mortuus,
Regnat vivus.

Dic nobis Maria,
Quid vidisti in via?
Sepulcrum Christi viventis,
Et gloriam vidi resurgentis:
Angelicos testes,
Sudarium, et vestes.

Surrexit Christus spes mea:
Praecedet suos in Galilaeam.
Scimus Christum surrexisse
A mortuis vere:
Tu nobis, victor Rex,
Miserere.
Amen. Alleluia.

Cubeland Mystic Joins MM

I'd like to extend a massive, mythopoeic Muggle Matters welcome to the Cubeland Mystic who just joined us. Cubeland Mystic has several blogs, most notably The Immaculate Direction.

Cube -- as I, being a lazy typist, like to call him for short -- is an ardent fan of Lord of the Rings even though he's new to the world of Harry. He has many good insights like this one, "Who are you?", on his blog asking which character from LotR readers relate to the most. Excerpt:

This post has been in the works for quite awhile, so I have given this idea a lot of thought. At first I really thought I identified with Sam, since we share a love of gardening. I love Sam, he is a great character. Sam is Joe six pack. It is not difficult to imagine Sam tailgating, wearing his Steelers jersey, working a barbecue full of brats with a beer in his hand. Sam would lead his parish’s Knights of Columbus council. But as much as I tried to make this fit, it just did not work.
He goes on to say that he relates best to... well, I'll let you go read for yourself. But maybe we could talk about which Harry Potter character we identify with the most in the comments here.

Welcome again, Cube, and feel free to post on any of the great mythopoeic literature that we celebrate here.

Thanks Pauli and Merlin. I look forward to participating here in the new year. Kind of busy due to the holidays. But this is a kind invitation.
