• 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.

  • Book of Feline Sorcery

    When it comes to favorite magical aspects cats beat dragons and all other mythological beings with a decisive victory, that's the reason why I make so many cat related candles. Their nature makes them the friendliest of familiars and wonderful friends.
    This book candle is my way of appreciate their love, help and friendship that they bring to our lives and symbolize feelings in their most primal, boundless and without philtres of any kind, if they love someone they don't need any motives for that and many of us can relate to that :)
    Runes of Joy, abundance, harmony and clarity were chosen for the programming of this book candle, bringing more love and warmth tom the altar and home of anyone who decides to make friendship with it :)

  • Our Goðin are described as being “great smiths” and the lore isn’t just talking about metal work. They're amazing at creating so many varied things (obviously) even being referred to as “galdr smiths”. In turn, the Goðin taught mankind many things so that we too could create and craft and smith many things both needful and beautiful.

    This is something we as the “Sons of Heimdall” (Voluspa 1) should fully embrace. Not just for the sake of creating beautiful and functional things. Is it any wonder so many who worship the Goðin are also called to create? This isn’t coincidence but a primal drive. We should see it as an act of worship to be able to partake in this creative process with the gods.

    I can see some use for AI here and there, but for the most part let’s build our own and buy from those among us who are putting in the time and effort to perfect their craft.

  • Hi everyone,
    Many of you know me as Norseruna—a Vitki, Shaman, Wizard, or whatever title you prefer. I mainly work with Bindrunes, Gandr, Galdr, and Seidr.

    Lately, I've been wanting to create my own ritual music.

    Not polished or melodic—just a simple, raw, repetitive Viking-style drone. Think a steady drumbeat, maybe a tagelharpa loop, with some of my own Galdr layered over it. Nothing synthetic sounding —just something primal I can use for trance and ritual work.

    I'm completely new to music production, so I'm looking for recommendations. What's a good, beginner-friendly music program or setup that would let me create this kind of sound?

    Ideally, something easy to learn and focused on looping simple beats and natural-sounding samples.

    Thanks in advance!

    Needless to say, this is part of our drinking rituals these days.

    Do you have a drinking horn?

  • Úlfhéðnar: The Óðinnic Wolf Cult

    To preface this, this won't be a historical post on the Úlfhéðnar.
    This is something from my personal practice, inspired by history and used for the current modern time of Norse Paganism.

    For me and my journey Wolves have been a staple of my practice, and my own personality.
    Something I have embraced fully this past year. My middle name being Ulfr, and from a very young age I knowing my Fylgja.
    She is a black wolf that watches over me, I have seen her in a few dreams, but mostly others who dream of me see this wolf. My aunt most notably when I was a young boy. And today, most often when my fylgja is seen by others, they see the wolf in distress, and this has alerted a few within my circle of hard times I am dealing with, as I am not generally one to openly speak on what I am dealing with.
    Anyways, for a long time I was lead to believe the wolf was just bad, untrustworthy, angry, and dangerous, a force of destruction. I've been told many negative things through my life about the wolf, but I looked to the positive aspects of the wolf, protection, loyalty, and one huge factors for me, the untamed primal spirit, Freedom.

    Now onto this whole "Úlfhéðnar" and "Óðinnic Wolf Cult" thing.
    In 2022, I started my organization, Úlfung (Wolf Tribe) for all those following the Norse spirituality in my area, and over this last year I've worked on a sort is side project within my organization, The Óðinnic Wolf Cult, something we know somewhat of as we know about the Berserkir, the Úlfhéðnar, and the phenomena of the Germanic Männerbund (Koryos), that became what these warriors were.
    In general it's been common through history, for many shaman, and warriors alike to wear the pelts of animals and take on their aspects in rituals and battle.
    So one day I really sat down and asked myself, how would the Óðinnic Wolf Cult today look like? (And of course can't be called Wolf Tribe without some wolf stuff going on ).
    Now of course, we as Norse pagans, are not warriors like they were in the Viking Age, and before. And we certainly are not Vikings. But the spirit of this Wolf Cult doesn't just die off. So I got to writing, and doing far more research on the subject of the old Koryos, and the Úlfhéðnar in the Viking Age, looking at the phenomena.
    We know little of what was really practiced, but we can make educated guesses, and interpretations. This is a Faith after all, and we are reconstructing day by day, so long as we don't try and change/rewrite the history and properly acknowledge our Personal Gnosis and Interpretations and make the right distinctions then all is well.
    So in my interpretation, it looks something like this:
    To start, it is a Männerbund, or Koryos, a Brotherhood or Band of men, so the first requirement for our group is of course being a man. (Sorry ladies! We also have female only positions within our organization though!)
    Now as stated we aren't Vikings, and we arent the Úlfhéðnar of legend either. Its 2025, we aren't 'berserking' into battle. So on that, we won't just allow any would be dude with anger issues, who bought same faux fur shoulder pelt all the dudes from the Beard Struggle wear off of Etsy, claiming that he 'See's red when he's angry' and nothing can stop him! (You can see I've had some personal experience there...) And being in America... For Helvede... It seems there's a plethora of guys who know nothing about the spirituality, but they saw something about Berserkers once and it was super MANLY so they become BerserkerVikingKing9000.
    Now I won't say that fighting is off the table within this though, My inspiration aside from wolves of course, does come along from my profession in Private Contracting. Fighting is kind of a big deal, and being capable of handling yourself and protecting others is a key factor. So we do take a dedication to fitness, and training, and believe each person who chooses to follow this, should be very capable even if it is not exactly necessary. For me, there is no separation between my faith and my work life or anything else. My faith is with me always, and in everything. Infact, my wolf pelt is sitting out on the passenger seat of my car while I'm at work, it's never far from me!
    Within our 'Wolf Cult' one of the biggest aspects is further embracing the Animistic aspect of the old ways, digging deep into the primal elements of ourselves. Heavily embracing the spirit in all things, and taking it upon ourselves to join efforts in cleaning up parks, wildlife areas and more. While we encourage all of our members to do so, as this faith being Animistic should drive one to that, being conscious of the natural world greatly, it is a Requirement for those in the wolf Cult to do so with their brothers.
    The Dedication to Óðinn. It is an Óðinnic Wolf Cult after all, and with that we swear not only oaths of fealty, and Loyalty to one another, but we swear to Óðinn, we fight for, learn and follow Óðinn's path. We follow the god of fury and frenzy, acting as his howling winds in the wild. Embracing the wild and primal wolf spirits!
    Many of our practices involve Utiseta, and trance dancing. Going to sit out in the woods which are most sacred to us in just Wolf Skins, as we work to connect and learn from the ancestors before us, or dancing wildly by the fire howling out in the woods and embracing the primal and free spirit of the wolf. Among all the other practices of Forn Seð.
    To avoid writing a book here, I am condensing a lot, and keeping it simple, but overall being a part of our Wolf Cult takes a lot of dedication and an unwavering faith in the Animistic ways of Forn Seð. And in terms of dedication, we also require that those who want to be part of it have a genuine wolf pelt to wear. We have ethical sources the pelts must be obtained from, and it benefits Wolf Conservations and efforts. And on the off chance a member hunts and kills a wolf, so long as it isn't them just going out targeting and killing a wolf for the sake of its pelt, and they actually had a reason they had to defend themselves or another from the wolf, we allow them to have that kill be made into a pelt to wear.

    Anyways, this may all sound silly to some, be an inspiration to others, or something that some don't care much for, and that is okay! But if it inspires you somewhat, than I am glad!

    Úlfhéðnar: The Óðinnic Wolf Cult To preface this, this won't be a historical post on the Úlfhéðnar. This is something from my personal practice, inspired by history and used for the current modern time of Norse Paganism. For me and my journey Wolves have been a staple of my practice, and my own personality. Something I have embraced fully this past year. My middle name being Ulfr, and from a very young age I knowing my Fylgja. She is a black wolf that watches over me, I have seen her in a few dreams, but mostly others who dream of me see this wolf. My aunt most notably when I was a young boy. And today, most often when my fylgja is seen by others, they see the wolf in distress, and this has alerted a few within my circle of hard times I am dealing with, as I am not generally one to openly speak on what I am dealing with. Anyways, for a long time I was lead to believe the wolf was just bad, untrustworthy, angry, and dangerous, a force of destruction. I've been told many negative things through my life about the wolf, but I looked to the positive aspects of the wolf, protection, loyalty, and one huge factors for me, the untamed primal spirit, Freedom. Now onto this whole "Úlfhéðnar" and "Óðinnic Wolf Cult" thing. In 2022, I started my organization, Úlfung (Wolf Tribe) for all those following the Norse spirituality in my area, and over this last year I've worked on a sort is side project within my organization, The Óðinnic Wolf Cult, something we know somewhat of as we know about the Berserkir, the Úlfhéðnar, and the phenomena of the Germanic Männerbund (Koryos), that became what these warriors were. In general it's been common through history, for many shaman, and warriors alike to wear the pelts of animals and take on their aspects in rituals and battle. So one day I really sat down and asked myself, how would the Óðinnic Wolf Cult today look like? (And of course can't be called Wolf Tribe without some wolf stuff going on 🤣). Now of course, we as Norse pagans, are not warriors like they were in the Viking Age, and before. And we certainly are not Vikings. But the spirit of this Wolf Cult doesn't just die off. So I got to writing, and doing far more research on the subject of the old Koryos, and the Úlfhéðnar in the Viking Age, looking at the phenomena. We know little of what was really practiced, but we can make educated guesses, and interpretations. This is a Faith after all, and we are reconstructing day by day, so long as we don't try and change/rewrite the history and properly acknowledge our Personal Gnosis and Interpretations and make the right distinctions then all is well. So in my interpretation, it looks something like this: To start, it is a Männerbund, or Koryos, a Brotherhood or Band of men, so the first requirement for our group is of course being a man. (Sorry ladies! We also have female only positions within our organization though!) Now as stated we aren't Vikings, and we arent the Úlfhéðnar of legend either. Its 2025, we aren't 'berserking' into battle. So on that, we won't just allow any would be dude with anger issues, who bought same faux fur shoulder pelt all the dudes from the Beard Struggle wear off of Etsy, claiming that he 'See's red when he's angry' and nothing can stop him! (You can see I've had some personal experience there...) And being in America... For Helvede... It seems there's a plethora of guys who know nothing about the spirituality, but they saw something about Berserkers once and it was super MANLY so they become BerserkerVikingKing9000. Now I won't say that fighting is off the table within this though, My inspiration aside from wolves of course, does come along from my profession in Private Contracting. Fighting is kind of a big deal, and being capable of handling yourself and protecting others is a key factor. So we do take a dedication to fitness, and training, and believe each person who chooses to follow this, should be very capable even if it is not exactly necessary. For me, there is no separation between my faith and my work life or anything else. My faith is with me always, and in everything.

  • A unique magical tool through which one can grasp the essence and meaning of Northern magic is the runes. They are intended to unlock the foundations of consciousness and establish a connection with the outer worlds of Yggdrasil. The first eight runes represent the first eight powers given to every person at birth. These are the basic, primal forces embedded by nature itself. Everyone possesses them, and if a person is strong in will and spirit, they will be resilient to external influences, and all these powers will be well-manifested within them.
