Excerpt from Thunor the Thunderer, Carved on a Scandinavian Font of About the Year 1000: The First Yet Found God-Figure of Our Scando-Gothic Forefathers

The cunning stone-smith hath obeyed my wish, and hath given us on this Doop-stone a short outline of what ye, and this infant thro you, should know, to guide him onward in his path of Christian duty.

Many words I need not, for much that is good and true is common to all the children of men in every time and land, not least in this time and this land, whether still holding fast pagan lore, shadows and symbols of things divine now misinterpreted and misunderstood. Or already members of the mys tical body of Our Lord. Man was made in the image of God, and all the glory is not yet departed from his brow.
