User:Hostirad

Hostirad is an Internet name often used by John A. Johnson. Hostirad is an anagram of Radihost, which is an alternative version of Radigast (or Radegast), God of Sound Advice and Thought in Slavic mythology (cf. Radagast the Brown). The name honors John A. Johnson's Polish decent on his mother's side (his grandmother was pregnant with his mother when she emigrated to the U.S. from Poland) and for his love of Tolkien.Hostirad (talk) 14:58, 25 May 2014 (UTC)
