Wisdom Wednesdays @ Premier!

The name “Wednesday” comes from the Old English word “Wōdnesdæg” which means “Woden’s day.” Woden or Odin was a god in Norse mythology who was associated with wisdom, healing, and death. He was the ruler of the gods and was often depicted as a one-eyed man with a long beard and a staff.

In many European languages, the name for Wednesday is derived from Woden or Odin, such as “Mercredi” in French and “Mittwoch” in German. This reflects the influence of Norse mythology on these cultures.

In Norse mythology, Odin was also depicted as having two ravens, Huginn and Muninn. The names Huginn and Muninn translate to "thought" and "memory" in Old Norse. These names reflect their roles in gathering information for Odin, the Allfather, who is known for his insatiable quest for knowledge. Every day, Odin would send Huginn and Muninn out at dawn to fly across the Nine Realms, gathering news and insights. They would return by breakfast to report back to him, allowing Odin to stay informed about the happenings in the world.

FLASHBACK FRIDAYS @ Premier!

This was my last day at "O". As a ritual when someone on staff leaves the show, they have you IN the show! So, I was dressed up as a "funeral bird" and was walking across the stage in this shot. I am leading the funeral procession with the strongman pulling the cart and casket behind me, followed by other performers as the funeral attendees. Seems kind of odd that there is a funeral scene in the show, but... it IS Cirque!
