  It was asked in a past "Love Hounds Digest" if anyone
new of any other literature that might be behind the
idea of "The Ninth Wave."  In my studies of Scandanavian
mythology I came across a very interesting bit of info.
In traditional Scand. mythology the ninth wave is associated
with a ram (sheep).  The ram's association with the ninth wave
in a group is still alive among Welsh fishermen.
Just a coincidence?.....

From which Scandinavian country did you get the reference to the
ninth wave, I'm from Sweden, my father is Norwegian, my mother is
from Finland, and I've never heard about the ninth wave in mytho-
logy!
