You scored as Jewish. You are a Jew.
You understand that there is something basically missing in the teachings of religion and so-called "spirituality" today. The continuity in time and dedication of the Jewish faith make the most sense to you. You may be drawn to Judaeism out of a jaded opinion of the world today, but hey, it can't be a bad thing to be one the chosen people.

I Am A: Chaotic Good Elf Ranger Bard


Alignment:
Chaotic Good characters are independent types with a strong belief in the value of goodness. They have little use for governments and other forces of order, and will generally do their own things, without heed to such groups.


Race:
Elves are the eldest of all races, although they are generally a bit smaller than humans. They are generally well-cultured, artistic, easy-going, and because of their long lives, unconcerned with day-to-day activities that other races frequently concern themselves with. Elves are, effectively, immortal, although they can be killed. After a thousand years or so, they simply pass on to the next plane of existance.


Primary Class:
Rangers are the defenders of nature and the elements. They are in tune with the Earth, and work to keep it safe and healthy.


Secondary Class:
Bards are the entertainers. They sing, dance, and play instruments to make other people happy, and, frequently, make money. They also tend to dabble in magic a bit.


Deity:
Solonor Thelandria is the Chaotic Good elven god of archery and the hunt. He is also known as the Keen Eye, the Great Archer, and the Forest Hunter. His followers respect nature, and only hunt when needed, but are quick to defend the forest from intruders. Their favorite weapon is the bow, and they tend to be extremely talented with it. Solonor Thelandria's symbol is an arrow with green fletchings.

This is a strange and provocative painting that evokes many feelings about literature, myth, legend and history. Certainly it would be the goal of someone in the field of metaphysics and Jungian interpretation to be acquainted with most of these figures as they are an outstanding cast of characters from the major myths, legends and stories of western European culture. In other words, these characters live in our collective unconscious.



This painting by John Duncan (British, 1866-1945) is called A Masque of Love. It was painted in 1921.

VIKING KOANS

The Blockhead Thane

Two Viking-Zen teachers, Yurgi and Sven, were invited to visit a thane. Upon arriving, Yurgi said to the thane: "You are unwise by nature and have an inborn ability to learn nothing."
"Nonsense," said Sven. "Why do you flatter this blockhead? He may be a thane, but he doesn't know anything of Viking-Zen."
So, instead of building a stave church for Sven, the thane built it for Yurgi and studied Zen with him. That is, until Sven came over and burned down that stave church.



Flower Shower

Yurgi was Buddhasen's disciple. He was able to understand the potency of emptiness, the viewpoint that nothing exists except in its relationship of blood and sheep.
One day Yurgi, in a mood of sublime emptiness, actually because his flagon was empty, was pissing under a tree. Flowers began to fall about him, but Yurgi was blitzed out of his gourd.
"We are praising you for your discourse on emptiness," the gods whispered to him.
"But I haven’t said shit," said Yurgi.
"You have not spoken of emptiness, we have not heard emptiness," responded the gods. "This is the true emptiness." And blossoms showered upon Yurgi as rain.
Yurgi spoke true wisdom then, “You god’s are just a bunch of fucked-up losers.” And he went and destroyed each and every god.

If you rape a Saxon wench in the forest, does she make any noise?



Time to Die

Ingvar, the Viking Zen master, was very clever even as a boy. His teacher had a precious drinking horn, a rare antique. Ingvar happened to break this horn after filling it up with mead three times and emptying it and was greatly smashed. Hearing the footsteps of his teacher, he held the pieces of the horn behind him. When the master appeared, Ingvar asked: "Why do people have to die?"
"This is natural," explained the older man. "Everything has to die and has just so long to live."
Ingvar, producing the shattered cup, added: "It was time for your cup to die." The teacher smiled, and went to punish Ingvar. Ingvar then shoved the shard of horn through his teacher’s nose and into his brain. “And, evidently, it was time for you to die also.”



Sour Stew

The cook Diarf, at Bersi's great hall, decided that he would take good care of his old teacher's health and give him only fresh stew, a brown liquid which is made up of boiled lamb bones, beans, peas, carrots and turnips. Bersi, noticing that he was being served better stew than his men, asked: "Who is the cook today?"
Diarf was sent before him. Bersi learned that according to his age and position he should eat only fresh stew. So he said to the cook: "Then you think I shouldn't eat at all." With this he entered his room and locked the door.
Diarf, sitting outside the door, asked his teacher's pardon. Bersi would not answer. For seven days Diarf sat outside and Bersi within.
Finally in desperation an adherent called loudly to Bersi: "You may be all right, old teacher, but this young disciple here has to eat. He cannot go without food forever!"
At that Bersi opened the door. He was smiling. He told Diarf: "I insist on eating the same food as the least of my followers. When you become the teacher I do not want you to forget this."



Buddhasen's Zen

Buddhasen said: "I consider the positions of thanes and rulers as that of dust motes. I observe treasures of gold and gems as so many bricks and pebbles. I look upon the finest linen tunics as tattered rags. I see myriad worlds of the universe as small seeds of fruit, and the greatest lake in Denmark as a drop of oil on my foot. I perceive the teachings of the world to be the illusion of magicians. I discern the highest conception of emancipation as a golden brocade in a dream, and view the holy path of the illuminated ones as flowers appearing in one's eyes. I see meditation as a pillar of a mountain, Nithgaard as a nightmare of daytime. I look upon the judgment of right and wrong as the serpentine dance of Jormangund, and the rise and fall of beliefs as but traces left by the four seasons."

Veleif's Zen

Veleif began the study of Viking Zen when he was sixty years old and continued until he was eighty, when he realized Viking Zen.
He taught from the age of eighty until he was one hundred and twenty.
A student once asked him: "If I haven't anything in my mind, what shall I do?"
Veleif replied: "Throw it out."
"But if I haven't anything, how can I throw it out?" continued the questioner.
"Well," said Veleif, "then die!" and he stabbed the student through his right eye and into his brain.
