Almost Yule
Ok I know I haven't been on for awhile . I just haven't had much to write about. I am always broke and always sad. I wish I could get more people to buy stuff from me ( like maybe one). But people just never seem to want to buy from me but they are fine with buying from others. Yes I am talking about rune readings and regal and norwex. ARG I want customers waaaaaaaaaaaaah.

Rune Poem
Today I thought I would share a poem that means a lot to me. It is a great introduction to Norse Mythology and understanding the runes.
Ninth Night
Eerie the wind between the worlds
As I hung on that nameless Tree;
Long had I heard its leaves whisper,
"Seeker, would you know more ?"
As I hung on that nameless Tree;
Long had I heard its leaves whisper,
"Seeker, would you know more ?"
My heart´s desire dearly was won,
Not easy I gave what was asked:
Dreadful the price that I dared to pay
As I offered myself to myself.
Not easy I gave what was asked:
Dreadful the price that I dared to pay
As I offered myself to myself.
Given, in mid-air uprooted I swung
Swayed by the whims of the wind;
Piercing through me the bitter spear,
More aching my will to grow wise.
Swayed by the whims of the wind;
Piercing through me the bitter spear,
More aching my will to grow wise.
No water they gave me; burning my thirst,
More burning for knowledge my need;
Hungry for bread, more craving my soul
To be sated with secrets of Life.
More burning for knowledge my need;
Hungry for bread, more craving my soul
To be sated with secrets of Life.
Searing the sun during the days,
Empty the endless nights;
The starless void devoured what I was
As I faced my last agony alone.
Empty the endless nights;
The starless void devoured what I was
As I faced my last agony alone.
My mind meandered the mystery mazes -
My flesh writhed tied to the Tree;
My soul grasped all the wisdom of ages -
My body bloodied the bark.
My flesh writhed tied to the Tree;
My soul grasped all the wisdom of ages -
My body bloodied the bark.
Yielding myself, I gained all I yearned for,
Dying, I danced into life;
Wounded I was - leechcraft I learned then:
Whole and hale I became.
Dying, I danced into life;
Wounded I was - leechcraft I learned then:
Whole and hale I became.
With a shattering shout that shook the realms
My fetters I burst and was free;
And through an abyss of rapture and bliss
Into Earth´s embrace I fell down.
My fetters I burst and was free;
And through an abyss of rapture and bliss
Into Earth´s embrace I fell down.
I have ridden the Tree - I have made it my mount,
All riddles and runes I now sing.
And you who seek wisdom, will you dare the Tree
When it whispers, "Would you know more?"
All riddles and runes I now sing.
And you who seek wisdom, will you dare the Tree
When it whispers, "Would you know more?"

In Honour of Hel.
She is the peace at the end of the long night, she is the peace after a hard lonely life. They say you die alone, but with her no one dies alone. Hail Hel

Trip to Edmonton
Lets see a long drive, hot days and not getting enough sleep. On the other hand, beautiful flowers in my frineds garden, a cute little chihuahua, good food and drink,movies on a huge TV (60" flatscreen), catching up, seeing my nephew grow to almost my height.
I have even managed to get somethinmg set up that I was having such a hard time doing at home, yes thats right a bank account, see I have one at my local C.U. but I wanted an extra one so that I didn't have to rely on just that one, if I need to make a deposit or something like a paypal account. Which I ust verified, so that all of you can now feel safe with using your paypal with me and have proper recourse. Well that was dull lol.
Well lets see, I have built a greenhouse for my friend, yes a greenhouse, phew, but so worth it seeing all the lovely plants in there.She still wants me to build a linen cabinet arg. :) Little Hamilton ( her dog ) is a nice surrogate to my Sif and Istaellia. Food is wonderful, great cook. Well I shall add more here later.

Some pictures that I love.
Recently I have found some amazing pictures that I want to share with you. I just have to figure out how to add them. LOL.
I am really lost when it comes to certain aspects of blogging and the internet and computers. Why is it that these things always have to be so difficult to do these things? I always thought that the introduction of these types of sites were going to make it so that any one can do these thing, the language is confusing and the assumption that we all know how to use html is so infuriating.
I do not know how nor do I have the interest in learning these things, I shouldn't have to that is why all these IT guys exist, is so that people like me should have to learn these things. If this makes me lazy or whatever fine I embrace that about me, damn it some times you need some one to hold your hand through the difficult befuddling things in the world.
Ok that said I am now going to try and figure this out on my own LOL.

Beltaine Weekend.
So as of yesterday the 1st of May it is Beltaine 2010. What does this mean to me?
Well lets see..... A new start for one, another year under my belt ( 3rd of May is my 37th Birthday). I really do want to start my garden however I think it will take longer than expected, as I have no soil to start my plants and nowhere to put said plants yet.
I did a rune casting on myself last week and the same rune came up every time, Othila, now I know the meaning of this rune however, I am having difficulty putting into the perspective of how it relates to my life right now. Here I will give its meaning and I am borrowing the meaning from
http://www.aswynn.co.uk/ just to make it easier ( copy and paste)
Germanic name: OTHlLA
(Anglo-Saxon: ETHEL; Old Norse: none; Phonetic value: O)
'Traditional meaning: inherited land
The oldest literal meaning of this rune passed down to us from the continental Germanic source is "noble." In this sense it is directly related to the Anglo-Saxon word atheling, meaning "prince" or "noble." The German word adel and the Dutch word edel also mean "noble." Both derive from the same root. The god who is most obviously related to this rune is Odin.
The shape of Othila is a combination of Inguz and Gebo, and Othila can be interpreted as the "gift of Ing," which probably explains why Othila has been related to the concept of inheritance by some modem commentators. By comparing the concept of inheritance to the Inguz rune, the previous rune in the futhark, it can be established that it is genetic material that is being inherited on an esoteric level. On a material level Othila implies inherited land and the rights to its possession.
See my conundrum?
I am having a difficult time with this rune and it is driving me nuts, any help on this would be appreciated. Onto other things.
The weather here today is sunny with spots of rain, and tomorrow it is supposed to be just rain , ha my birthday usually sucks because of the weather LOL. Well that is all for now, I had a lot of things I wanted to discuss but they escape me at the moment so I will come back and add more later today.

IMVU junkie
Ok so I joined another site. I know I know how many of these things can one person do?
I joined IMVU because I know alot of friends from other social sites use it and it is really very fun. I have joined 3 groups and I have started one of my own. Also you will not on here that I have added a paypal button, it is so that you people out there can get either a Rune reading or a Bind Rune or both. Let me know what you think of the pricing, too high too low what other services you would like me to add. I am planning on offer hand made rune sets to special order, but first I need a few tools to get that started but that shouldn't take too long. Looks like my June is going to spent camping and visiting Edmonton Alberta, with my good friend Renee. Yippee.

Long Week
I have had the longest most taxing week in history ( well mine anyway).Gods that sounds dull and self serving. Okay never mind that, I need something to talk about, my life is so dull all I have to say are complaints about my life, how sad is that. SO I have decided that starting this spring that shall change. I have joined a local community garden and I really want to get back into that, however I need more things to do, can you folks help me out here and give me some ideas? ( I am so bad at coming up with things I mean just look at this blog.)You will start to notice some adverts, I do apologize but we all have to keep the lights on. ( Don't worry they will be for cool things and stuff I wish I could afford)

Ack bugger
Ok so here it is folks my 1st entry. Today I am unwell. But I have some really cool news. Well cool in my world anyway.
I have become friends with one of my favourite authors on facebook.
Freyja Aswynn,
I have loved her works on Norse Paganism for a long time and I have always wanted to meet her. Today I did. Later I want to add things here that I am reading or selling. Yes I sell stuff. Such as Regal and Norwex. Not sure what else to write today but I will think of some more as I go. I still have to figure out how to ad widgets and the like, so bear with me and I will get this place booming. So ta ta for now.
Heille and Blessed be.
