Raido Galdr
Raido is the rune of journeys, roads, and movement. The sound of the rolling “R” mimics the rolling wheel on the road; the fast rhythmic roar of the chariot in motion.

Book Review: Heart Drops of Kuntuzangpo
A fantastic work regarding Bon “Great Completion” meditation, although, not recommended for someone who is new to Eastern religion. Many elements of the Bon religion predate Buddhism in Tibet. However, it has been officially recognized in its modern form as the 5th school of Tibetan Buddhism. In the past, Bonpo’s were ridiculed for being practitioners... Continue Reading →
Ansuz Galdr
Ansuz is that which gives animation to the otherwise lifeless body. Ancient man associated the breath with life, and likewise, associated it with the spirit or soul.

Book Review: Beyond the North Wind: The Fall and Rise of the Mystic North
I read this book a couple times when it came out and enjoyed it very much. The author is well versed in Russian language and has researched much that is not very accessible to English speakers, especially on Northern Esotericism, Shamanism, and theories regarding mankind’s existence upon the Earth. There’s something in here for all... Continue Reading →

Pure, naked, clear awareness. When one comes to... Continue Reading →
Cernunnos
Cernunnos/Hurnaz represents the spirit, soul, or incarnation of the forest itself. Unlike most gods, which fill an archetypal form congruent to their other roles, Cernunnos isn’t necessarily one that the practitioner aspires to be(come), but rather, a spirit one asks for protection, aid, and blessings from. Our idol stands at the edge of our property... Continue Reading →
Book Review: Bhagavad Gita
Fantastic text regarding the nature of Dharma, the Self, and each individuals specific purpose in life. In particular, the Gita offers profound insight into the nature of action and personal “duty”, or in this context, personal Dharma. It teaches one to act in accordance with their sacred role and to disregard/abandon any attachment to the... Continue Reading →
