I need to come up with a catchy term for a Pagan nerd… but “Pagerd” just doesn’t cut it. If it did, however, the definition would be:
Pagerd (pa-GERD) n. Someone who, when her German instructor tells her he is going to see all 4 nights of “Der Ring des Nibelungen”, produces this as her German homework the next day:
Click to embiggen.
Yes, that say “wælcyrge” in the *Anglo-Saxon Futhorc at the top (or a reasonable phonetic approximation), then below is a verse from the “Wið færstice” charm referencing the “mighty women” who “screaming, hurl their spears”.
I am Pagerd, hear me flirt.
*Why Anglo-Saxon? Cuz that’s what I know, dammit.
**Translation of the actual homework portion is unexciting, and after the cut

Skyrim is like crack! I recently took a few months off from playing to focus on my studies, the the siren’s call has struck once more, and I am yet again plinking trolls with arrows and running from giants. It is a total Pagerd’s paradise.
