All the houses there were gold and silver, and the most splendid one was Woden's royal palace. This was called Valhalla. To reach it one had to ride or walk the whole length of the rainbow, as it arched from land to land. But there was a sharp-eyed watchman at the gate who stopped anyone who had no right to cross that seven-hued bridge. "In Valhalla, Woden's people were always happy.
Christ said, "Him that overcometh will I make a pillar of the temple of my God, and he shall go no more out" go out, that is, into incarnation into "time, besprent with seven-hued circumstance." Such are the testimonies of the world-saviors regarding the means and end of liberation.
