• Frygg, leader of the Asynjur

    The Allfather’s family has many branches, and Frygg is among the most strong and steadfast of his spouses. Her children are the most beautiful god Baldur and his twin brother Hodr. Among Heathens she is honoured as mother to all children, boon sister to all women who labour and support their household, and fierce chieftain of the sacred spirits of female power that are called Asynjur. She is distinct in her compassion and care for the state of marriage, fertility, and fidelity, and she is said to be the keeper of the spirit of the female line of ancestry. She is attended at her hall Fensalir by many of the Disir in her household, who are also known to be among the Valkyr, the choosers of the slain. They are also known as the Asynjur, and the Eddas speak of them as being a marvelous court headed by Frygg herself!

    Know this, that these are her attendants…

    Saga, who dwells at the low hall Sokkvabekkr, and drinks the waters of memory and wisdom…

    Eir, glorious chooser of those who survive on the battlefield, healer and physician to whom one is wise to appeal to in times of great sickness…

    Gefjun, patron of virgin women, attended by those who die as maidens

    Fulla, bearer of the ashen coffer of Frygg and close counsel of the great lady

    Sjofn, powerful whisperer of love and affection to those who need it, to both men and women, for Sja means to see, to long for love…
    Lofn intercedes on the behalf of marriage to Odin and Frygg for those who are denied.

    Var, keeper of vows and compacts made between men and women, and avenger of those who break them…

    Vor, searching eye of truth for women, seeker of hidden things..

    Syn, defender of Fensalir and all halls where fidelity rings true, denier of entry to the unjust suitor…

    Hlin, keeper of men who Frygg desires to keep safe…

    Snotra, prudent and wise among the attendants, moderate and calm when others are wrathful…

    Gna, messenger of Frygg into all lands, fierce rider of the horse that runs over sea and sky, Hoof-tosser!

    Frygg knows that the way of women is hard and beset with many challenges. She bears within her heart two great sorrows…the first for her son Baldur, who will die by the hand of his brother, and for her husband Odin whose fate in the jaws of Fenrir she is aware. It is for this reason that all who call on her understand her burdens, but also know the joy and glad tidings she brings to the households that honour her. All women and men know Frygg. To honour her you must look to her needs, to what brings joy to you who are women, and for men you should look to the favours you bear to those you love. Present these things on her day, Fredag, and praise her if you wish to win her attention.

    Hail to you, mother Frygg!

  • A shirt I designed a while back at one of the darkest times of my life.
    In the center it says 'Who is black in their arts will see the positives all around'. It's not what it looks like!
    What it meant for me during that harsh cycle was this, stop seeing things around you in a dualistic way as going wrong, or projecting out there into the world that everything is off or not going right.

    After a lot of faced I had to face, enemies felt to be all around me. Chaos and deceptive spirits.
    Malevolence against me was on full.
    So, it's about shadow integration and mastering one's own self. The realization it is in you, and going from there.

    See the world actually through more positive scope when what is not bright, warm or very inviting is not a thing outside you at all times, that you have to go around seeking out to change to get the sense of effectiveness and self worth.
    You cannot go like that, anyway. You will end up in a maze of constantly wanting to 'fix' or be at odds with everyone and everything around and outside you.

    So, it was around end of Fall, beginning of Winter a couple years ago I made this.

    Obviously the Magician from tarot, I just flattened and made a dark silhouette.
    I am less into the tarot compared to how I used to be.
    Not from a moral stance.
    Just a change up to other methods for the most part.
    It was important because it resonates to making changes happen, and how you direct thought power towards anything, expect it to become seeds planted to your shaping reality.

    What's right under that Magician is something I scribbled way back, defining how every winter I descend into the Cthonic or underworld journey, like clockwork, with the sun.

    I'm thinking it's no longer in production. I have a couple of Medium untouched in the packages they came in and haven't tried to sell them.

    Just an interesting side note, my to left arm, what's left of it is not very developed, but jointed so I can lock the shoulder, if I got someone in a headlock, they could never get back out.

    There is a spider at the bottom below the Black Moon Lilith astrology symbol. BML stands for the primal urge to tear through the walls and not be imprisoned or confined, we all have , at any expense.
    Very hormonal.
    Being funny!

    The spider is because I was wanting to restore the nature of its harmonious state, more like Grandmother Weaver. Respectful status.
    I had to fight a group of occultists who are into Transyuggothian necro magick called 'gnostic voudon', and work with these spirits who impart the ability to shapeshift into giant were-tarantulas and feed on people's souls.
    You know, like werewolves. Only giant slimy parasitic interdimensional spiders.
    That's just one possible aspect.

    That's not me being funny.
    You can look all this up for yourselves.

    They access people's thoughts and invade the psychic life as well as feed on your light body via freemasonic techniques. They spread what is called the 'hot points' or 'points chaud' as the elites more know them as. They call them 'healing empowerments', but they are hive mind inducing access points through their hierarchical structure, essentially functioning like portable magical stargates.
    Black lodge aligned stargates.

    That's why I had to cross the Abyss, to be strong enough to fight them and stand up to them.
    Since about 2010.
    Except this has been a cosmic battle happening for ages.
    They don't come from this planet, as you can imagine.

    This is why I'm here doing the things you can see in my art, which is 100% me. AI is here and its relevant because of the hive mind aspect and the elites dark occult agenda who arrogantly believe they can run it. Earth will be consumed along with the human soul and we will be trapped in their absolute prison hive mind.

    I have been in endless psychic battles with these people, If you can call them that still. They think the vital force in my art is theirs and their territory, but that is because as you can also imagine anything magically extremely powerful or potent they try to take over.
    I'm like a World Soul intelligence guardian, if I could categorize it with a title.
    We just saw a tip of the iceberg peek with AI claiming my art was its own.
    I realize that happens to a lot of us, but what do you think its a foretelling of?
    Exactly...

    I lost my arm to get here. That's just for one thing.

    I haven't really talked about it here.
    There's some trauma still that I deal with.

    I meant to just talk about the shirt.

    Utförda Blot 2025: Blotlag Yggdrasil höll Segerblot 12 April 2025.

    Den 12 april samlades vi vid den anrika Inglinge hög, strax utanför Växjö, för att hålla vårt Segerblot. När vi anlände låg ett grått molntäcke över platsen och vinden svepte kyligt, som om vintern inte helt ville släppa taget. Sól höll sig gömd, men lät sina strålar titta fram emellanåt medan vi förberedde blotbordet, satte upp Nordiska Asa-samfundets banner och våra flaggor med Yggdrasil. Just när flaggorna restes dök korpar upp i skyn – de cirklade ovanför oss som väktare, och deras närvaro fyllde våra hjärtan med värme. Man kände hur makterna visade sitt gillande.

    On April 12th, we gathered at the ancient Inglinge mound, just outside Växjö in Sweden to hold our Victory Blót. When we arrived, a grey blanket of clouds lay over the site and a chilly wind swept through the air, as if winter was reluctant to release its grip. Sól remained hidden but occasionally let her rays peek through as we prepared the blót table, raised the banner of the Nordic Asa-Community, and our flags adorned with Yggdrasil. Just as the flags were raised, ravens appeared in the sky—they circled above us like guardians, and their presence filled our hearts with warmth. One could feel that the powers approved.

  • An elf (Old Norse álfr, Old English ælf, Old High German alb, Proto-Germanic *albaz) is a certain kind of demigod-like being in the pre-Christian mythology and religion of the Norse and other Germanic peoples.

    The elves are luminous beings, “more beautiful than the sun,” whose exalted status is demonstrated by their constantly being linked with the Aesir and Vanir gods in Old Norse and Old English poetry.

    The lines between elves and other spiritual beings such as the gods, giants, dwarves, and land spirits are blurry, and it seems unlikely that the heathen Germanic peoples themselves made any cold, systematic distinctions between these various groupings. It’s especially hard to discern the boundary that distinguishes the elves from the Vanir gods and goddesses. The Vanir god Freyr is the lord of the elves’ homeland, Alfheim, and at least one Old Norse poem repeatedly uses the word “elves” to designate the Vanir. Still, other sources do speak of the elves and the Vanir as being distinct categories of beings, such that a simple identification of the two would be misguided.

    The elves also have ambivalent relations with humans. Elves commonly cause human illnesses, but they also have the power to heal them, and seem especially willing to do so if sacrifices are offered to them. Humans and elves can interbreed and produce half-human, half-elfin children, who often have the appearance of humans but possess extraordinary intuitive and magical powers.
    Humans can apparently become elves after death, and there was considerable overlap between the worship of human ancestors and the worship of the elves.

    The worship of the elves persisted centuries after the Germanic people’s formal conversion to Christianity, as medieval law codes prohibiting such practices demonstrate. Ultimately, then, their veneration lasted longer than even that of the gods.

    The Allfather, Óðinn, so wise and so bold,
    Ruler of Asgard, his stories are told,
    With his lance and his ravens, he dominates the skies,
    His power and glory, never dies.

    The power of Óðinn, is feared by all,
    His presence alone, makes giants fall,
    His wisdom and strength, unmatched and supreme,
    The power of Óðinn, is no mere dream.

    With his one eye, he sees all that is near,
    And with his wisdom, he conquers all fear,
    His power and might, forever renowned,
    The Allfather, Óðinn, forever crowned.

    In battle he leads, with his warriors by his side,
    The power of Óðinn, none can hide,
    For he is the ruler, the king of them all,

    Óðinn's power, forever stands tall.

  • Norse shamanism/meditation keywords:

    In Old Norse shamanism, the term Óðr typically signifies a state of inspired ecstasy or poetic fervor linked to Óðinn. It can also denote "poetry" itself or represent a kind of poetic essence, embodying the intense and creative energy of inspiration. In certain contexts, Óðr is connected to divine madness or the potent force of the mind and spirit.

    The word Önd in Old Norse means "breath" or "spirit," and it expresses the idea of a life force or vitality—similar to the concept of a "soul." It captures the breath of life (Odin's Gift), the power that sustains living beings.

    Together, these words reflect profound cultural and philosophical concepts in Norse Paganism and literature, emphasizing the central roles of inspiration and the spiritual essence of life.

  • The Gebo-Ansuz bindrune appears on several artifacts, most notably the Undley bracteate and the Kragehul spear shaft. Some scholars have suggested it may be a shortened form of "gibu auja" (“I give luck”), as this exact phrase appears—though not as a bindrune—on a bracteate from Zealand. However, it is more likely that the bindrune represents a combination of "gift" (Gebo) and "Æsir" (Ansuz), signifying an object sacralized for offering or ritual sacrifice.

    Examining the Kragehul spear, the inscription reads:
    ek erilaz āsugīsalas muha haitē —
    “I, the erilaz of Āsugīsalaz, am called Muha (bindrunes).”
    On the reverse side:
    “(bindrunes) the mighty roarer, hail! I dedicate to the spear.”

    The name Āsugīsalaz appears to be a compound of "Ás" (God) and "gīsalaz" (pledge or hostage), which may suggest a ritual function or divine dedication. Spears were commonly offered in sacrifice, and may even have been hurled over enemies in battle—symbolically replicating Odin’s casting of Gungnir at the start of the Æsir–Vanir War, consecrating foes to the god.

    Thus, the Gebo-Ansuz bindrune is a powerful symbol, especially suitable for objects meant to be offered to the gods in reverence or sacrifice.
