I have been working on this painting for a few months, it almost done, just some polish and touchup in areas. It encompasses some of the themes I return to, the threat of global climate change. I think of this one as a metaphor for the tumultuous past 3 months which seem like an eternity to me. I often combine imagery that works to heighten the mood of the painting, in this case the girl and the storm seem to be one and the same. I will let the viewers garner their own feelings though. Oil on cradled Panel. #darkfantasy #magicrealism #fantasticrealism #horror #horrorpaintings.

I used stack rocks......a lot. Haven't done it some time now. But i feel that they are calling again. I think it's time to bring some magick and mystery back into nature

The Norse Tradition: Magic and Runes
The Norse tradition is unique in that it remained untouched by external influences like rosaries or thuribles. Even monks with Icelandic roots did not dare to add their own elements to this system—despite expectations. During the Christianization of Northern Europe, there was likely pressure to erase not just the gods but also the heroic epics. Why? Because rulers often traced their ancestry to gods, though not directly.
These rulers had many ancestors, and their actions weren’t always saintly. They solved their problems through various means, some of which were far from virtuous. As a result, the sagas, songs, and tales that remain portray these ancestors in a less-than-ideal light. These figures robbed, killed, and made mistakes. But which is worse—making a mistake or lying about it? The Norse tradition teaches that lying, in any form, is not just wrong; it depletes the soul.

Fascinations grow.
Beaconing me to go deeper.
Engulfed by the mysterious..
Swirling in magical bliss.
The unveiling darkness...
Echoing through the doors, I am; my dream come true..

many question !

Did Odin and hes brothers create Vanaheim?
Odin hung himself from tree to get knowledge of the Runes , but it was Freya who thought the Seidr/magic of the Runes , which meens she knew the Runes before he did , and she is Vanir !

If Odin and hes brothers createde Vanaheim , they create Freya and the Runes ?

Why go to war whit Vanir , to gain something you have create ?
and therefor have knowledge of it !?

War starts when Vanir march on Valhalla , after killing Freya 3 times whitout her dying ! Odin throw gungnir , toward the Army and war start !

Gugnir was made by the Dwarfs after the peace and behead of Mimir !?


So did Odin and hes brothers create the Physikal World of Vanaheim ?
but the Spirit World of Vanirs and the Runes a older and should be align whit Muspelheim and Niflheim at thet start of time at Ginnungagap?

If you anser pls state , if this is your opinion or if you have info about it !

The transfer of a magical channel by a sorcerer. Are all sorcerers obliged to transfer their channel to another person? What does it mean when a sorcerer touches someone during the transfer of a channel? Is he merely indicating the person to whom his power will be passed? Do the forces themselves decide to whom the channel will be transferred? And how does one become a sorcerer’s apprentice?

Here and there, Magic everywhere..

We are meant to be childlike, never losing that wonder. Why do adults lose their magic or ability to see other beings like the fae? It’s time to heal from society and tap back in.

Have you done magic on others to try and dim their light and joy because of your lack?
Have you tried to hinder their strengths because of your cowardness?
Do you loath to have what they have because of what they are blessed with by the gods?
Have you tried to steal their birthrights and abundance to fill your empty boosom??
Know this to sure you: you can never attain what they have given birth to. You will never be as beautiful as they are.
You will never succeed in your loyal devotions.. For "jealousy" and "envy" are as cruel as "the grave.."
Wisdom is known of her children.
Humidity is crowned with rays of light.
Hope you will learn and understand how to love throughout the depths one day..
Then and only then will you know what it is be garnished with sacredness in the city of your soul. Jeweled; aligned with sacred fires and loves waters.
