¹Abomination of Desolation

Message posted to friends on 26 February 2014:

While in Iceland last August, I met with Pétur Halldórsson at the Cafe Milano in Reykjavík. We discussed matters of mutual interest, including what my Saga Cipher work might “mean“.

I took a napkin and, for emphasis, wrote down the number 438097. This is the Cipher Sum of some three dozen names of persons, institutions, dates and events during the reference period, including two famous murder cases, a sex scandal in high places, and presumptive lies told in connection therewith.

I told Pétur (what I had long surmised) that I believed that this number was associated with a watershed event in human history whose final phase was upon our world.

An earth-shaking culmination of human and spiritual evolution.

²Sturla Þórðarson’s Last Years

(Loose translation G.T.)

It is said that Sturla went to Iceland with the law-book which King Magnus had decreed. He was appointed Law Speaker over all of Iceland and its laws were changed. In the fall he took over the farming estate of farmer Skeggi in Fagridalur.

That winter Þórðr Narfason resided with Sturla.  Once during the winter Sturla was visited by Bárðr, son of Einar Ásgrímsson. He came by ship. After the ship had sailed the next day, a great storm broke out and people were concerned that it would perish. Þórðr went out frequently to check on the weather. And once when he came in, Sturla said: ‟Don‘t worry, Þórðr, your cousin Bárðr will not drown on this voyage.‟ ‟You cannot know that,‟ says Þórðr. But what Sturla said later proved to be right.

Later that spring, Bárðr fell ill. Then Þórðr asked Sturla whether or not Bárðr would recover. ‟I understand now,‟ Sturla says, ‟why you ask this, but get me my wax tables.‟ He played with them for a while. Then Sturla said: “Bárðr will die from this illness.‟ [Insert G.T.: Andast or die can also mean become spiritual – that is the likely meaning here.]  And so it turned out.

Sturla then went back to Staðarhóll and remained Law Speaker until disputes began between clergy and laymen over [certain issues]. Then Sturla retired as Law Speaker and did not get involved in all the problems associated therewith.  Many people heard Bishop Árni say – and found it important – that it Sturla was wise to leave this problem alone. The Law Speakership then passed to Jón Einarsson and Erlendr the strong.

Sturla settled himself in Fagrey, and transferred the land at Staðarhóll to his son Snorri. Sturla remained well respected until he passed away, one night after Óláfs-mass day. He was born on Óláfs-mass day and Óláfs-mass day was the last day of his life. He was nearly seventy years old when he died. His body was taken to Staðarhóll and buried there at the church of the Apostle Peter, whom he loved most dearly of all holy men.
