* "Goodnight Westeros:"
* Vikings: I have a half formed Floki thought I'd like to toss up for discussion. I was rewatching season one, while watching three. Aethelston is rejected for sacrifice at Uppsala because he is a Christian and unwilling. Floki Sacrifices him in three because he is a Christian. (Aethelston seemed to accept his matyrdom and that might count as willing). So how does that play into Floki's arc in season three?
I do think this tracks with my idea that Ragnar and Floki are spiritually linked. I think one can not live without the other. Think that the thing the seer said about divided souls applied not just to Aethelstion but to Ragnar and Ragnar/Floki, if that makes sense. I think maybe Ragnar set Floki up to die by giving him so much responsibility as revenge for Aethelston, and that trying to kill your Anima is a really bad idea. I think Ragnar is dying from internal injuries from his fall during the siege, and that you can not have Ragnar without Floki or Floki without Ragnar.
I am now wondering if Floki/Aethelstan is some sort of Anima/Animus situation and that when the two halves of Ragnar's soul turned against each other, all of their luck went bad.
Of course, I could be totally wrong. It's just the series takes all the Gods as seriously as the characters would.
* Ebay Time:
CHAOS THEORY IV DXCIV (594) 2008 (LE, Edge of Chaos): (Company says: Each bottle of Chaos Theory is truly unique, a fragrant fractal, an exercise in the joy of chance and uncertainty! Each is a one-of-a-kind, utterly random combination of scents, the composition of which is based on whim, mood and gut instinct.) About 1/4 Full. My best guess: melon, tea, ho wood or bamboo and incense, but no promises.
MITZVAH GORERET MITZVAH 2010 (LE, Gifts with Donation or Purchase): (Company says: Kindness begets kindness. Holy hyssop, red apple, massoia bark, and pomegranate with eight different types of honey that represent the sweetness of life and new beginnings.) Just below shoulder.

HATMEHIT 2009 (Iteru, LE): (Company says: The Egyptian fish goddess, originally a deification of the Nile River, the Great Flood, and the Waters of Creation. The scent of the depths of the River, teeming with aquatic life, sanctified by holy herbs. ½ Full.
THE STEEPLE 2010 (LE, Lupercalia): (Company says: Otherworldly fungus, Provençal herbs, and dark, shadowy woods.) ¾ Full.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/BPAL-HATMEHIT-2009-Iteru-LE-and-THE-STEEPLE-2010-LE-Lupercalia-Partials-/301623222370?
KIT (Only Lovers Left Alive, Character Scents): (Company says: Kit’s scent is soft and dry as bone: Mysore sandalwood, a tattered and patched 16th century waistcoat, inkstained, still scented with the marjoram and benzoin dry perfumes of his youth.) At Label Top.
SNOWBALL FRACAS 2009 (LE, Yule): (Company says: This means war. A scent tight with delirious adrenaline. Muddy dirt and frost-covered moss from the trenches rubbed into winter clothes and snow impact overspray. This scent hits like the sting from those dang icy hard snowballs... the ones that have been packed too hard by someone who is not playing nice... nailing you right in the face.) ¾ Full.

SHERLOCK HOLMES 2015 (221B Baker Street): (Company says: A fastidiously clean scent, with a dash of pipe and cigarette tobacco. Faintly beneath, you catch the fragrance of a smear of greasepaint, a stray horsehair, and a whisper of Moroccan leather and rosin.) Full.
SONNET D'AUTOMNE 2011 (LE, Halloweenie): (Company says: Tenebrous Love: a shivering white musk with vanilla-infused white cocoa, amber incense, and dead, dry leaves.) 3/4ish Full.
