nesday or "wodens-day" is known as budh!30 interesting how close that is to buddha, and, according to waddell, buddha is a derivative of woden and buddha claimed to have had several "former births" as a serpent. the indian brahmans adopted the moon and serpent cult. so too, according to waddell, did the "semitic priests of the nile valley".31 he says that they replaced the original sun worship of asar or osiris and deliberately introduced the serpent and sacrificial cult to egyptian culture. balder, who is el and wodan's malicious son in the edda, corresponds with the green man of the king arthur legend and loki, the original of lucifer, according to waddell. he says that balder is also lancelot in the arthur stories from his title in the edda of "the lancebearer. like his mother, el, bald
