The Binding of Fenris and Meditation

In this episode, I discuss a few things in regard to Indo-European Shamanism and then I examine the myth of the Binding of Fenris and how it relates to meditation. As with all the myths, if we dig under the surface, we find a deep reservoir of knowledge regarding energy work, magic and meditation....

Indo-European Shamanism & Teutonic Religion

In this episode, I ramble about the religious connections between the Teutonic Polytheist religion and pre-historic Indo-European polytheism. Specifically, I will examine the linguistic connections between the Indo-Aryan Vedic Deities and the Teutonic Deities. I will of course rant and ramble about all kinds of other connections... My experience and opinion is that for re-constructionists of the Northern Religion, it is in our interest to study other indo-european religions and find commonalities that can help us fill in the blanks in regards to how our Norhtern gods were worshipped....

Runes The Third Eight

In this episode I walk through the last eight of the Elder Futhark and give my interpretations of the eight Runes for Spiritual fulfillment. I also ramble about shamanic connections with the Ancient Teutons and some surviving shamanic spiritual traditions.

Barbarians!

In this episode I explore the concept of the Teutonic tribes as "barbarians." the modern Western world believes that it is founded on classical and near east concepts. But, the reality is, after the fall of Rome, the European continent was drastically transformed by the Teutonic tribes that migrated from northern Europe. It was the Teutons, saxons, franks and Goths who revived the Roman culture. These Teutonic tribes replaced their ancestral memories with that of Rome, Greece and Israel. In this episode, I will (ramblingly and rantingly) explore and challenge our accepted historical view of the middle ages and the real influence of the Teutonic people on the modern world. We will also look at the Saxon immigration to Brittania and the real reason for the birth of the Viking Culture...

The Lay of Allwise Part 2

In this episode, I narrate and comment on the second half of the Lay of Allwise.

The Lay of Allwise The Dwarf - Part 1

In this episode, I narrate and give my understanding of the first half of "The Lay of Allwise." Allwise is a dwarf who also represents the earthly human aspect of our subconscious manifestive nature. Our magical nature as manifestors of our thoughts comes from our innate dwarf powers located "under the earth" which means below our waking consciousness. Dwarves are not little gnome like creatures with red hats. Dwarves are identical to humans except that they do not possess a divine spiritual nature. In this myth we look at the power of dwarves as shamans. They are very powerful magicians who create the manifested Universe. Aside from Odin, Dwarves are able to travel to all the nine worlds. In this lay, Allwise tells of what he has learned from all the different inhabitants of the nine worlds of Yggdrassil - the Teutonic World Tree.

Runes - The Second Eight

In this episode, I discuss the the second eight of the Elder Futhark from a slightly different perspective. The sequence of the first eight teaches pre-historic Teutonic principles of physical fulfillment. The sequence of the second eight teaches pre-historic Teutonic principles of Emotional/Mental/Psychological fulfillment.

Runes - The First Eight

In this episode, I examine the runes from the stone-age perspective. In my opinion, the Rune sounds are a very ancient oral tradition that teach us how to survive and prosper on all levels. The first Eight Runes taught pre-historic Teutons how to survive and prosper in the physical realm. By looking at the first eight of the Elder Futhark, we can get a glimpse of what concepts, things and values were most important to our pre-historic European ancestors.
