The Quest for Gog and Magog

Have you ever read Anne of Green Gables?  Please tell me you have.  If you have, then you know all about kindred spirits, gumption, Gog and Magog, and all kinds of other very important things.  If you have not, then you need to run out to your nearest bookstore right now and begin reading!  Anne will change your life.

If you have read Anne, then you know all about Gog and Magog.  They are an iconic part of the story.  They were very dear to Anne, and Anne is very dear to me, which is why I am determined to find my own Gog and Magog.  (If at this point you are still somewhat confused, you really do need to heed the advice above and get reading.  I don’t think Gog and Magog even come up until book 3, so you need to get busy!  Don’t worry though; you will fall in love with the story and it will take you no time at all.)

Carolynn and I have searched for Gog and Magog for years now.  We still have yet to find anything worthy of bearing those rather sacred names.  (She once suggested some wooden reindeer, but I’m sure she was just kidding.)  So, now the time has come for us to take matters into our own hands.

I was thinking about our quest one day, and the solution just hit me out of nowhere: we could make our own Gog and Magog out of papier mache!  I’m not entirely sure how we are going to go about this, but be warned: you have not heard the last of this.  I will keep you posted as our quest continues!

(You can also read Anne online for free!  Don’t cheat and watch the movies!  You’ll be sorry you did!  I don’t even know if they mention Gog and Magog.  Get busy!)
