Writings by Hrukjan.
Changing and growing are similar but separate concepts. Change has no positive or negative connotations. It is just the objective and constant state of existence. Growth, on the other hand, means a positive shift towards the best possible outcome of an organism; becoming larger, stronger, and more capable of survival etc. Things will always change,...

"The Rune Poems: A Reawakened Tradition"By P.D Brown and Michael Moynihan. For those looking for a new rune book, I found this to be a great addition to the shelf. It’s refreshing to see this type of collaborative effort at preserving the art of runes and poetry. Many great and diverse angles are given on... Continue Reading →
“(Tradition) cannot be inherited, and if you want it you must obtain it by great labor.” - T.S. Eliot Unless we establish rigorous and unshakable tradition in our own lives, we will never experience the countless secrets hidden in the rhythms of nature. Like the seasons, like the cosmos, like music… Everything is acting in... Continue Reading →
We should always have unshakable convictions, laws, and morals. However, we shouldn’t place ourselves willingly into any particular ideological box. These terms, theories and identities are too minute, small, and insufficient to attach ourselves too without limiting our growth and development. The Sanskrit term “Madhyamāpratipada” describes this phenomenon, meditation, or act of non-polarization in the practitioner,... Continue Reading →

Beyond the smoke, beyond the flames disappear, within the dusk… beyond our shapes, beyond our names begin anew, from ash of luck. Oak and Cherry, Apple and Spruce... Continue Reading →
This bindrune is meant to enhance balance, inspire clarity, and reinforce stability of the mind, emotions, and spirit. A central Eihwaz rune establishes the spine/trunk; the “axis mundi” or center of the spirit. It represents the self within the spell. On either end of the Eihwaz rune, we see the opposing elemental forces of fire... Continue Reading →
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. (ᚠ) Spirit becomes flame against the long night. We will endure (ᚢ) all (ᛈ) with open arms, as we journey towards the Throne (ᛟ). The... Continue Reading →
One of the most important things about Odinism is traveling. This of course applies to the Shamanic or visionary aspect, but more importantly to the physical traveling or “wandering” of the Earth. The Odinist must track down sacred places, spend nights alone in new woods, explore the vast deserts, the mountain peaks, the lakes and... Continue Reading →
