This study of the 'Beowulf' epic has been a long time without a post on this blog site. That's because the living of the principles of this essay has been in the realm of action, kindred, and the environment. The main intent toward value of the "The Tree, Shining Plain, and Gem-Roof" essay is in transforming the mundane limitations of a standard consensus 'civilization' oriented life toward a more Radical Traditional personal and social reality.

The intermission of the written work for a more active endeavor was unavoidable and even beneficial. The sub-heading, "Timber, Tapestry, and Table" describes the attention to environment and building that was required. Ambitious work toward prosperity and an ethical caring for senior contributors to our pioneer culture has been the focus. In fact, coincidental to my return to working on this blog theme, there was a dinner on the same day arrainged by and attended by some of the same Montana homesteader family described in the second post. There is a reality here in my premise that 'normal' living is mostly informed by ancient and esoteric principles. Adventure, ambition, and love are values to be persued, not eschewed as some New Age and church moribund 'authorities' would try to convince us.

The intermission in this work was mainly predicated by the values as described in the "Rigsthula" study. However the heroic loyalty of the 'Beowulf' study is also pertinent. There is an important point to make about how this work will progress in this prelimanary rough-draft form.

To continue the 'Beowulf' study in a comprehensive way is not the immediate purpose. We will be selective and abbreviated in the focus to reach points related the the main themes. There are other social and psychological themes that could be included. I will be reaching conclusions that are direct and quick in respect to the themes of sovereignity and family. Looking back at the previous work I'm gratified that some of it is good work. If my current work is not up to those standards I can always make improvements later. The blogs that immediately follow this one will be a preliminary rough draft for a more comprehensive 'Beowulf' study.
