Wodan is the wanderer seeking wisdom, and he hung on Yggdrasil to realise his fate and the fate of all else. He is as much a part of the created order as are we, hence Ragnarök and Götterdammerung, the Twilight of the Gods.

When you make an offering to Wodan for Wodans-tag and then chant a round of the Maha Mantra to Krishna before sleeping, you know you've gone full-on honouring one's Proto-Indo-European heritage.
(Photo is of my own murti of Krishna).

My simple outdoor altar for the full moon this last Wednesday, honouring Wodan as leader of the Wild Hunt, guiding souls to rebirth.

Yesterday I recorded a talk about the Irminsul — a sacred pillar central to the life of ancient Germanic people. Later, I went for a walk in the woods and chanced upon this tree trunk, bare of branches and foliage and reminiscent of just such a sacred pillar. A profound moment!

This morning I asked Wodan for my rune for the day, to be a guidance, a blessing, a protection. I drew Perthro which I shall seek to meditate on throughout the day. My initial take is an encouragement to press on deeper into the deep mysteries and wonder of these ancient ways.

The sacred space this evening. The Gods are the dynamic of creation. To view them otherwise is to understand them amiss.

The wordless summons of receptive hearts back to the Old Ways of the ancestors is fundamentally a summons to a cultural remembrance. To remember who we are as a people, as a folk inextricably connected to the sacred land.
Tyr’s Day blessings!

The leaves of Yggdrasil share the same essence no matter the height of the branch. The life of the Gods is the same as that which courses in your veins.

A recent rune casting. Eihwaz, Mannaz, Hagalaz. We exist ever between order and chaos, a balance that cannot be tipped without consequence.Such is existence that it requires a necessary demise which we may mistake for conclusion rather than an essential ground of transformation.

Blessings on Mani’s Day.
May your path be kissed by the ancient magic laced with silver,
And the wordless whispers of the Midnight Watcher
Stir memories etched into your bones.

Hail Wodan on Wodan’s Day!
Ragnarök is no fiction. The seasons are a manifestation of the cyclical nature of things. The serpents of chaos gnaw tirelessly at the roots of Yggdrasil and are visible in destructive ideologies far and wide. Yggdrasil will fall but it will rise once more.

One of humanity’s greatest errors is imagining that some kind of meaning must be imposed upon life in order for it to make any kind of sense. Truth is, life IS meaning. And here are some recent shots of our neighbourhood in summer bloom to illustrate the point.

Hail Wodan on this Wodan’s Day!
Consider what we would not sacrifice for a sip from Mimirsbrunnr. Do we hold our views and ideas so dear that we would not run them through with Gungnir to attain a deeper understanding, one beyond our concepts?

Hail Wodan on Wodan’s Day!
Allfather,
Wisdom-seeker,
Restless Wanderer,
Blind God —
May I realise that strength of mind that bound you to Yggdrasil’s reaching limbs for the sake of wisdom.

Walk honourably.
May your words be clothed in deeds that all may now your vow is true.
Blessings to all this Tyr’s Day!

Hail Tyr this Tyr’s Day!
The shade looms large,
The sun is dimmed
By twilight’s ravening maw;
The Spinners’ work
Is all but done
And fate’s loom turns out
The final threads of Wyrd;
But stand yet!
The daylight ebbs away,
But still we may elect
How we shall meet the night.

Blessings on Mani’s Day.
Wordless magic draped in silver sails high on the skirts of midnight’s inky reign. And watchful hearts drink in the ancient lore, feeling in those whispers that need no tongue to utter them the echoes of a memory written in bones and blood.

There is a language communicated without words. It is pure resonance; the echo within our blood of a lore as old as the stars and of which the trees are an eloquent repository.

Tyr is the god of justice - not law. He gave his arm for all others so that the dark wolf of chaos might be bound. So too does an antifascist sacrifice for the good of all others. #tyr #pagan #paganism #heathen #heathenry #heathenryisinclusive #declaration127 #norsepagan #germanicpagan #polytheism #prayer #antifa #antifascist #antifascism
