Hello. Would the people here mind letting me know if they have experienced any problems when clicking onto the Kith Website www.kithofyggdrasil.org ? Namely,...
I was thinking about the differences between the Elder and Old English Futharks, and note how there is a small, yet crucial difference between Ansuz and Os....
... English ... between ... Odin ... mouth' ... I remember reading, many moons ago, that the "Os" could refer to the breathe of life Odin gave Askr and Embla...
Yes that would make sense, although Odin was only 'passing on' the lifeforce to us humans. Which begs the question, does the rune refer to both Odin 'and' the...
Thanks Ed, although I am still interested in the 'river mouth - estuary' part. On the face of it I don't think it really matters when it comes to using the...
I don't remember where I came across it, but I thougt I read that the move to modify Os/Ansuz from Odin to simply God was an attempt to christianize the Runes....
I'm sure you're right about that, Stephen. The rune poem was no doubt recorded by Christians when it was recorded on the surviving manuscript. Perhaps...
Thanks Stephen. I would be interested if you could track down that reference? In a recent seidr ritual (with Freya my wife on the high seat) we chanted Ansuz,...
During the blot on Sunday whilst we were chanting the gebo rune i was quietly meditating. During that period I had an amusing thought that standing there...
Greetings Warwick. A good point, and as you will have noticed there was an element of people acting out roles within the blot. There is no reason why...
I'll forward this on to Mike for his comments. It could be something you could bring up at the next Blot for everyone to talk about. Freya. ... From:...
I tried a variation of a mummers play at the last Jola blot I wrote - with obvious variations to the traditional tale That seemed to work really well and got...
Actually I can remember watching a couple of short mummers plays that Pete Jennings organized when I used to attend the Chelmsford PF moot. I'm not really up...
Well Warwick-as I mentioned why not get up a playlet to be acted after one of our London &HC Blots. I do not of necessity think that such things fit well with...
Interesting piece by Ed about Yoga breathing in last Pagan Dawn. I'm assuming such techniques can be combined with rune mantras, especially as us Heathens are...
Thanks, Alan. My main study and practice of Pranayama was originally in the context of Indian Tantra. I have to say, I've usually kept Indian ritual separate...
Like Ed I'd not want to get into detail. However once free of the froth, there are many similarities between faiths-as techniques were developed - lost-...
Mike, RE: mixing faiths - I couldn't agree more. Invoking Thunor and Siva in the same rite not only muddles the mythology and therefore our thinking, but also...
Has anyone here been watching the new Barbarians II series on the History Channel. They've done 1 hour "documentaries" on the Franks, Lombards, Saxons and...
Hello. I am interested in asatru and so I have a few questions to ask. I have gone through a lot of philosophies and religions for the past 3 years- not that I...
Greetings, I'm Mike Robertson the secretary of the Kith of Yggdrasil. The first things is that our faith is like others primarlily concerned with the spiritual...
Hi Kirauriel and welcome to the Kith. I very much agree with Mike here. Heathenry is very much about the journey of self discovery as exemplified by Odin. I...
Thanks Mike and Warwick! I feel comforatable with these beliefs- I managed to read two e-books on Norse myths and mythology last weekend. But I'll have to go...
Hello, We are actually in the process of setting up a Mystic Workings Group, so that we can all help each other to understand these things (runes, seidr,...
Thanks for the info, Alex. I am really interested and I am looking forward to more infromation. I woul better go and check the issues of Sunwheel :) (I am a...
