As of tomorrow I will be trying to commit one of the 7 deadly sins every day. Tomorrow is lust. Apparently I have to ogle an attractive member of the opposite sex. Nice…
The other task is to worship unpopular gods. I think it might be intended that I worship a few but I am too loyal for that. Instead, I have found a wicked goddess. Have a look:
Iðunn was, in Norse mythology, one of the goddesses. According to the Prose Edda she was the custodian of apples which allowed the Æsir to maintain their eternal youthfulness. She was the wife of Bragi, god of poetry.
As related in Haustlöng Iðunn was at one time abducted with her apples by the giant Þjazi, who used Loki as a stooge to lure Iðunn out of Ásgarðr. During her absence, the Æsir began to age without the rejuvenating qualities of her apples, prompting them to press Loki into the task of rescuing her. Borrowing Freyja’s falcon skin, he retrieved Iðunn from Þrymheimr, transforming her into the form of a nut for the flight back. Þjazi, displeased, pursued them in the form of an eagle, but was defeated by having his wings set alight by a bonfire created by the Æsir.
She has a wicked character in her name, she is the goddess of youth and I bet she’s proper hot. What more could you ask for?

UPDATE: I do still wish to worship Iðunn but I also like the look of Chimata-No-Kimi. He is a Japanese phallic god of crossroads, highways and footpaths. I live right next to a crossroads so I will be sure to pray before school tomorrow!
