Two of the longest books in my occult collection are Agrippa’s Three Books of Occult Philosophy and Manly P. Hall’s The Secret Teachings of All Ages, the first of which clocks in at just a mere 1024 pages.

Now… Three Books of Occult Philosophy—for me at least—isn’t the type of book you just sit down and read cover to cover. It’s something you use as a reference book when necessary and just go through a particular section. Of course, since it’s three books, does it really count as one long book? Surely it does.

And with The Secret Teachings of All Ages… I haven’t actually read it. I’ve listened to it as an audiobook. It’s 28 hours long, but I’ve made my way through the entire thing at least once.

That counts, right?

Good morning and happy Monday, friends!

I hope you’re all laboring on this fine Labor Day.

New M3 Episode: Stacey Williams-Ng, Sacred Space, and Southern Soul
New Highlights: Kamden Cornell, Poppet Magic, and On Pins and Needles

This past week, I’ve been practicing my bed surfing skills. Or maybe a better term would be bed skiing?

No, no… for real.

We got our new mattress delivered. Nobody told us that memory foam arrives rock hard and needs to be broken in over several weeks. To accelerate that process, I’ve been taking short walks on the bed—or sometimes pretending that I’m surfing or skiing.

It’s having an effect! Or at the very least, I have convinced myself it’s having an effect. And now I perceive the mattress as slightly softer than it was a few days ago.

After all my fun carving runes in stones, I decided to expand it to an entire set. I’m still working on ironing out some of the kinks, but we’ll see where it goes when I have some time.

I managed to get a new episode of M3 out on schedule and a new writeup of an older episode. For your viewing pleasure, go watch!

And my biggest accomplishment over this past week: my YouTube channel has now achieved partnership status. It’s been quite a long road to get here… and honestly I was about ready to give up. About a month ago, YouTube announced that the requirements to join would double in February (from 4000 annual watch hours to 8000), which put a rather obnoxious countdown timer in my head. I made a Facebook post a few weeks ago asking friends for help to reach that goal… and we’ve succeeded! So… thank you everyone!

Over on The Occult Rejects, we streamed a fun conversation about FinalSpark, a strange company that is trying to turn neurons into computers. Crazy stuff!

At some point I made vegetarian burrito bowls with spicy black beans and cilantro lime rice. Turned out pretty well.

Selene and I have been watching a lot of terrible movies lately. I mentioned Backrooms a couple of weeks ago. Since then, we’ve also watched Jurassic World: Rebirth and The Whisper Man. Heck, last night we even watched (well, re-watched) Signs because we couldn’t remember that it was terrible. All awful movies. Any suggestions on what we should watch next?

On Saturday, we stopped by the old Wellington Mall and hung out for a little bit. Craziest place. It’s like a 1970’s time capsule.

Where else can you encounter strange rainbow horses?

That’s all for now, my friends. Stay tuned for more soon!

Ear to the Irminsul

A bit about a battle, a Rune and a memory. Maybe.

Why didn't this occur to me sooner? A really easy way to clean up messy pyrographic work is simply to sand it down! After a few minutes of 150, 220, and 400 grit, it's much more consistent and legible. Go on, guess what it says. #OldNorse #runology #runes #futhark

Ok, so there is a journal dedicated to Futhark "Futhark: International Journal of Runic Studies", which is exciting, but i have to express a little disappointment that the dominant script of this journal is in fact Latin, not Futhark.

Mr 10 has been doing a great job of DM'ing our family D&D game. Last session I noticed the Player's Handbook had some art with runes in it! And they don't look like garbage!! I can already read the first two words!

Finally! A chance to show the kids that learning the writing of our ancestors has real-world use!

After the session wraps up I begin transliteration, eager to tell the story of this epic image, and inspire a love of futhorc in my family. I'm literally trembling with excitement.

"What does it say, father?"

#Runes found in Canadian wilderness baffle #archaeologists
Tucked away in a forest approximately 465 miles NW of Ottawa, a massive slab of bedrock features a hand-etched rendition of the full Lord’s Prayer. But the religious text isn’t inscribed in French or English—it’s composed of over 250 symbols from the oldest known runic alphabet, the #Futhark alphabetic runes. First developed and used by Germanic peoples between the 2nd and 8th centuries CE.

Are there any site/library about runes e. g. Old Futhark ones, or any other, with both images, letters correspondence, and meaning, without so called "New Age" stuff (e. g. without manifestation, "feminine intuition", "banishing negative energies") and so on? And of course without fascism/nazi "sauce"?

Regarding historical sources of runes and their meanings I hope the book "Rudiments of runelore" by Stephen Pollington will help me

All 28 videos for my Patreon course on the #Younger #Futhark, Powering Up the #Viking #Runes, are now up on YouTube.
It's a video diary (edited for conciseness of course!) of a #magical #retirement I undertook in 2020, one day for each rune, resulting in my writing a #rune-poem. Lots of reflections on the Younger row and on the processes of magical knowledge.
It's free to my Patrons, Patreon link below. At the moment, that's the only way I'm releasing it.

I published a whole bunch of pages about varangian runestones I’ve visited on the Varangian Biker site. Each page includes photos, a trace of the inscription and a translation. A few of them also have descriptions. I have visited more of them, but I haven’t had time to create pages for them yet.

A productive afternoon/evening in the #8bit world. Switched from coding natively on the #mega65 to setting up a cross platform development environment for #basic.

Then back to creating more #medieval #runes as a character set. Half way done but I need to revisit some. It's hard to make them accurate with blocks and few options for multiple diagonal lines.

Been rather fun writing hexadecimal letters in runes.

Hail Allfather on Odin‘s Day!

Insatiable the Wandering God
To peer into the mysteries
Of Wyrd,
Allfather stood
Twixt life and death,
And on that threshold
Nine nights and days
Denied himself all
Except desire to glimpse
The runic lore,
And in that script
The fate of worlds.
