These two bindrunes represent the Holy Trinity of ancient Germanic Paganism. The gods who encompass this trinity are traditionally the Sky Father, Earth Mother, and Thunder god. As seen on both runes, reading from top to bottom, we see the runes ᚨ : ᚦ : ᚠ representing Odin (Sky Father), Thor (Thunder God), and Freyja... Continue Reading →
The internal fires (ᛋ) have been lit. The torch (ᚲ) has been acquired. The dead (ᚨ) walk with us, side by side, ahead and behind. With full stomachs and full hearts.
