Navigating Norse Heathenism

In the rich tapestry of Old Norse literature, tales of encounters between Christian kings and the remnants of the old gods persist as fascinating narratives that reflect the complex interplay between the pagan past and the emerging Christian present. One such tale unfolds in the saga of Óláfs Saga Helga, captured vividly in the introductory quote. ‘Have you no desire...
Albruna Gudrun

Albruna

In ancient times the Maidenschaft (Society of maidens) was organized in 4 groups, which are the Hexas (the lowest group), the Drudas, the Walas and finally the Albrunas. The Hexas group had as their duty the care and preservation of the eternal flame. These Hexas were also initiated into herbology and arts of animal-healing. DRUDAS The DRUDAS, however, provided service as “Wise Women.” They were counselors (in all affairs having to do with love and marriage) and midwives. Additionally, they […]...
The Druids

The Druids were the psychic soldiers of their day

The Druids gathered and important questions were to be answered via divination. The means of determining the future? A human victim who was to be back-stabbed. From the movements of his death throes, the future was revealed to the forest magicians. As it is the practice of modern armies to attempt to destroy the intelligence-gathering capabilities of their enemies, so...

WHAT THE NORTH ALREADY KNEW

There is a stone cross on the Isle of Man. It was erected by a Norse convert to Christianity sometime around the tenth century. A man named Thorwald commissioned it. He wanted to mark his new faith in stone, in the way his people had always marked important things — in permanence, in carved rock, for anyone who would come...

The Sacred Labyrinth: Walking the Inner Path to the Self

Monday – Mani’s Day: The Moon’s Journey Through Darkness In our modern amnesia, we’ve forgotten that Monday was sacred to Mani, the moon god who journeys through the night, chased by wolves through the darkness.

The Forgotten Path Across the windswept landscapes of ancient Europe—from Iceland to Crete, from Gotland to the Netherlands—stone […]...

They Wrote It Down in 1927: The Prophecy of the Machine Age

There is a particular kind of vertigo that comes from reading an old document and finding it describes your present moment with more precision than this morning’s newspaper. In 1927, a member of Germany’s most secretive occult lodge — a man known only as Brother Leonardo — wrote an internal paper on what he called the mechanization of the world....

A secret message to Goethe

Goethe had quite an important influence on Otto Maier. Goethe, a poet and at the same time a scholar, who seemed to offer the model of an approach to nature that was both scientific and aesthetic. Let’s take a look at a peculiar dedicatory page in a published book of Humboldt and Bonpland. From July 16, 1799, to March 7, 1804, the German scholar Alexander von Humboldt, together with the french botanist Bonpland, had embarked on an extraordinary journey of […]...

The Ash Bearer

A man is burning in the town square of Damme. His name is Klaas. He is a charcoal burner — a working man, a Flemish craftsman of no particular importance to history. He has stolen nothing. He has harmed no one. His crime, in the eyes of the Inquisition that condemned him, is that he sheltered a man who read...

The Depth They Could Not Reach

There is something in the late Wagner that does not come from craft. Craft can be learned. Craft can be purchased. Craft can be produced on commission, delivered on schedule, reviewed by committee, approved by the market. The concert halls of the nineteenth century were full of it. Perfectly constructed. Perfectly empty. What Wagner found — or what found him...
