Sowulo’s Merkstave? – The dark side of the Sun (Sowelu, Sowilo)

Sowulo and six of the other twenty-four Elder Futhark runes have no reverse position, or Merkstave. This does not mean they are simpler than the other seventeen, nor that their most commonly accepted meanings should be taken for granted.  There is another side to these seven - a ”shadow” which the experienced diviner or astute student can draw much meaning from.
Today we’ll discuss the shadow [...]

Quote of Note: Snorri Sturluson

If a poor man reaches
the home of the rich,
Let him wisely speak or be still;
For to him who speaks
with the hard of heart
Will chattering ever work ill.
-Snorri Sturluson from the Prose Edda, 1220 C.E. (Common Era)
An Icelandic bard born in the late 12th century, Sturluson is widely credited for preserving much of what is known of Norse mythology today.

Fascist Fundies Forget it’s Fiction!

Would Jesus read Harry Potter? It’s hard to say.
Would He rather that some who follow Him focus their efforts on something more constructive than going to great lengths to vilify it, like living His example of charity and compassion instead? Probably.
I continue to be dumbfounded by Fundamentalist Christians who insist that Harry Potter is the harbinger of the [...]

Blogs I Like: Starweaver’s Corner

I felt a connection to Starweaver when I first encountered him online, and after reading his bio I understand why. When he was born the sun was in Scorpio and the moon was in Aquarius. The man I share my life with is a Scorpio, which explains why Starweaver intrigues me. My moon is also Aquarius, which explains why I enjoy reading his [...]

Crossroads

I’m ready to live in the peaceful pro-active instead of the chaotic reactive. Are my expectations too high? Is the drama of daily life something no one can really escape from? If so, how are we ever to find true happiness and lasting peace? If not, why haven’t I achieved it yet?

Quote of Note: Amma

 
Compassion is the language that the blind can see and the deaf can hear.
– Mata Amritanandamayi, a.k.a “Amma“
Those with deep wisdom often say much with few words. Here I believe Amma is talking about the power carried by thoughts, something intangible that both directly affects our physical reality as well as extends beyond it. 
One common teaching in metaphysics is the importance [...]

The Spiritual Superiority Syndrome

To believe that one has found the single spiritual truth or “correct way of being” and to then react emotionally when others don’t agree is to walk on dangerous ground.
This self-righteousness seeks and often finds our greatest weaknesses and latches on. I’ve observed its poison course through myself, others, and humanity as a whole time and again. We can see the precise areas [...]

Spring morning

Hecate’s silver crescent hangs low a pale indigo horizon. The air is cool and sweet and leaves my lungs slowly as I walk lightly on the frost, afraid of disturbing the peace that surrounds me. A lone bird sings, inviting the warmer weather she left behind. The still beauty of the watchful trees fills me with peace. [...]
