A Poem for Heimdall

Heimdall 

Wise Guardian,
Of the High Wall,
Rare of Speech,
Listener to All.
That All Might Slumber,
Weather woe you don,
Through hail and freeze,
Till times are done.
Shining Guardian,
Gold and Bright,
Son of Nine
And friend of mine.
Some might go to Valhalla’s Vault.
And Some to Freya’s Field.
Few do speak of Heimdall's Hall,
Himinbjorg upon the wall.
Quiet place of guardian souls,
Where sentinels poem and rhyme,
Here forever through all time,
Shall hang this humble skjold of mine.

    This is very compelling and well done. Beautiful allusions to the lore.

And from what Christians suggest, constantly, that use of statues in any way to represent deity is idolatry, (I don’t agree) though, considering this reduction to object attack, we then accept that deity is ‘a planet’ like Gaia, or Sunna is ‘the sun’. Can you see the operation? So what is going on? If our best shots at ‘pinpointing’ or demonstrating deity are simple acts of reduction, or euhemerism, what are we left with? I’m going to suggest the need to point at the earth
