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. The proto-Germanic word raido means “ride/journey” and expresses a sacred tone in reference to travel. The journey can be mirrored in the grand experience... Continue Reading →
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 →
Om Namo Bhagavate Rudraya
When meditating on Shiva/Rudra, it is important not to confuse the deity with ego. We should never impose our current (lower) self on the visualization that we create/invoke during deity yoga. If one already thinks they are perfect, what’s the point in trying to change, grow, or spiritually develop? The point of forming/inviting the deity... 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 →

If you’re looking for another rune book to add to your shelf, we recommend this one. “The History of Runic Lore” is a great source book for runes and basic history regarding their use and meaning.

Thurisaz Galdr
We recorded a new galdr track this week, Thurisaz in 108 repetitions. Thurisaz means “giant” and represents the god Thor or the giant Jormungandr. Thurisaz also represents the sacred hammer, Mjolnir. This hammer is synonymous with the Vedic Vajra, representing a type of spiritual weapon used against ignorance and obstacles. It can also represent unbreakable... Continue Reading →
