Rune Stancing In Healing

runes 150x150 Rune Stancing In HealingRune stance work has a positive effect on health, especially where the problem is a biopathy i.e. a ‘disease’ of the autonomous life system. Biopathies are afflictions rooted in a lack of vitality. Rune and Galdar – Stancing can ease that, (as can any activity that promotes deep, systematic breathing good posture and improved Feorh flow. By stabilizing the bio –energy (Feorh) you give the body a better chance of healing, and defending against future ills.

Most Biopathies are related to character armour, i.e. vitality cease to flow freely when aspects of self are repressed and so ‘stored’ in muscular tension this same lack of energy can occur if we e.g. work or sit in a cramped posture. Stancing can help to gradually dissolve that tension – but cannot solve the cause of it. Often a symptom reflects a deep-rooted need. Listen to you body and learn!

Galdor Stancing

runes 150x150 Galdor StancingGaldor is an Old English word meaning to ‘enchant with voice / song’ (Galdorcræft Is the art of doing so)

Galdor can also be used in a variety of other ways, in meditation, pathworking, the naming of objects etc, and in stance work. Most pagan paths use sound in rituals and workings, in the Enochian tradition they use a system called Vowel song a system found across the world from the Middle East to Scandinavia – albeit under different names. Here is a basic form:

I : the head SPIRIT. High pitch sound, which varies based on the indervidual.

E ; Neck and throat. AIR phonetically sounds like the e in very or head

A ; Solar Plexus, the bodies central warming, heart, liver and spleen. FIRE phonetically sounds like the a in half or far.

O ; Lower abdomen, intestines, kidneys, bladder. WATER phonetically sounds like the o in not.

U ; base of the spine, genitals, perineum, anus ,legs EARTH sounds like hoow or do

Each vowel is sung or chanted in order although they can be sung as one single linked vowel “iiieeeaaaooouuu” to draw energy down from the sky or as “uuuoooaaaeeeiii” to draw energy from the earth.

Galdor Stancing incorporates vibration / sound with physical stances. A beginner will start with the following system.

Stand quietly facing north, breath deeply and focus.

An invocation is then made to Wodin or the Norns.

Runes used are Is, Ur, Eohl, Tiw,, Lagu, and Ger

Is –

runes r31 c2 Galdor StancingFeet together, centered in yourself and to the ground, Extend arms straight up with palms facing take a full deep breath and sign out the name of the rune Is the ‘I’ is high pitched and the ‘s’ is a hiss fading to silence. Relax don’t force it repeat 3 times.

Ur –

runes r10 c12 Galdor StancingLower arms and bend at waist don’t stretch just relax visualize reaching gently down in to the depths. The U is deep and sonorous while the R is rolled or guttural repeat 3 times.

Eohl –

runes r21 c12 Galdor StancingStand up lifting arms up and out palms up the ‘e’ and ‘o’ are a described earlier the ‘l’ is rolled and the ‘h’ becomes a breathy exhalation repeat 3 times (this stance connects with Sky / Air energies)

Tiw –

runes r7 c11 Galdor StancingLet the arms fall down, palms down. The ‘t’ is hard and the ‘i’ and ‘w’ are pronounced as ‘ooo’ (Tee-ooo). The sound descends tonally repeat 3 times ( this stance connect with earth energies)

Lagu –

runes r9 c7 Galdor StancingTurn east raise both hands in front of you palms down. The ‘l’ is rolled, the ‘g’ is hard and ‘a’ and ‘e’ as previously described. Repeat 3 times this stance connects with ocean tides, rivers lakes and springs etc)

Ger –

runes r2 c7 Galdor StancingPlace hands on hips, elbows out to sides, the g is soft ‘e’ as described earlier and the r is rolled. Repeat 3 times.

If unsure of your positioning look at the shape of the rune you should look like a human rune symbol.

Once completed stand relax breath slowly and deeply and ground yourself.

It will normally take around 6 month practice with the basic system before going on to try other runes. In that period you should increase you repartitions from 3 to 9 slowly. You should also experiment indoors and out, sing loudly and signing softly or even internalizing the sound creating them in you head.

It will take many years of Galdor work before you can sing all 33 runes. And their are a number of runes that require more than one person to stance.

With runes that require more than one person to complete you will need to do this with another person who knows Galdor Stancing you cant get some just to stand in the position there are no short cuts

Healing Basics of Oslac

thor2 Healing Basics of OslacWithin the Oslac path, Healing (hælan – to make whole) isn’t just about the body, but is a complete, holistic process. An individual takes responsibility for himself or herself by taking an active role concerning their well-being. This is in direct contrast to the moden attitude of abusing our bodies, then rushing off to a doctor for some ‘magic’ pill.

The 6 underlying aspects of health, as seen by the Oslac healer are as follows.

Strǔtian (to exert oneself) – exercise. Cardio-vascular, resistance and flexibility training should be a part of everyday life, as well as Rune Stancing and Wigráden (these are similar to martial arts)

Æt (food) – a healthy eating plan low in fats and refined sugars, high in carbs and moderate protein and ensure to drink 2-3 liters of water a day.

Geondđencan (contemplate) – Meditation is as important as the other two aspects. In Oslac meditation is a part of everyday life.

Hlinian (rest) – Sounds obvious, but enough rest is vital, sleep is necessary for mind and body. Meditation is o use in resting but sleep, however, is vital, Most people need around 6 to 8 hours a night.

Gedœlan (‘share) –Having someone to share the ups and downs of your life with is a preciouse gift. The expression ‘No man is an island’ is a valid one. The isolation of self can lead to all sorts of emotional problems. Love and laughter are powerful.

Gesundgedigan (healthy benefit) – i.e. Therapies, massage, acupressure, dancing, chanting and drumming, Galdor Stancing etc, are all-therapeutic they allow human expression, emotive interactions and relaxation.

There is a time and a place for everything, a balance to find and perpetuate, that promotes health and well being.

There is a time to feast and a time to fast. A time for companionship and a time to explore the pleasures of solitude. We need life to be full and active, but we also need rest and relaxation.

One example of this cycle of balance is the Lunar Cycle, Since the moon as an effect on us creating changes in our moods and feeling as the moon has an effect on the tides it also has an effect on us.

New Moon:- time of renewal , good time fast and detox

Waxing Moon:- the body strengthens and builds, weight gain can occur

Full Moon:- emothional time, bleeding may also take longer to stop.

Waning Moon:- Fast detox can be more effective,.

Galdor Taufe

OFFERING 150x150 Galdor TaufeAnother way of using Galdor is Galdor Taufe, the naming of an object (a poppet, amulets etc). The term Galdor Taufe means “To baptise using voice / song”.

The object to be names should first be purified and cleansed in a simple rite of the elements.(this takes the form of whatever the individual feels appropriate).

The object is then wrapped in dark cloth or placed in a pouch. This is then held at your solar plexus and the name is sung 3 times. Then it is held at the forehead and the name is again sung 3 times. It is then place at the genitals and the name is sung for the final 3 times.

You now unwrap or remove from pouch symbolising the birth of the name object. You then hold it to the sky and announce the name to the gods and give a blessing.

Anything empowered this way should be considered a living being – and treated accordingly. Taufe means baptised and, as such, the object is born and named and blessed by your desires, Remain mindful of the energies you have contained.

New Runes are each, individually; named using Galdor Taufe once they are made.

Ritual objects e.g. Chalice / drinking horn, Athame etc are also named in this way.

Some types of amulets / talismans can also be named, when these have served their purpose the MUST be destroyed. To do this you ‘un-name’ the object by un-singing the name (singing it backwards) and performing the naming rite in reverse. This will release the energies you contained, rendering them mere matter, the object is then destroyed.

NEVER destroy a name object unless you have un-named it. To destroy an object without un-naming is a form of murder.

Do Not Abuse What You Are Responsible For!!

Hammer Rite Ritual

Mjöllnir Hammer Rite RitualAn Example of the Hammer Rite Ritual as adapted by Grendel and unknown others

Original bare bones by Edred Thorsson

Terms Used

VE: Ritual workspace or area. This can be a permanent room or a temporary space.

GALDER: A magical invocation or mantra.

STADHA: Bodily postures which imitate the shapes of runestaves used in GALDER.

VITKI:  A runic magician

In important ritual work the vitki may wish to recite an invocatory GALDER into which the hammer rite may be incorporated.  Such a GALDER would serve to invoke divine forces or simply act as a general  invocation to the runic powers, or both.  The knowledgeable vitki will compose his or her own rite and GALDER, for this would be a great deed of runecraft!  Note how the hammer rite is interwoven into this example:

1.  Standing in the middle of the VE, face north, in the STADHA and

intone:

Fare now forth      mighty Fimbultyr  “The Awesome God”      from heavenly homes all eight      Sleipnir be saddled,      hither swiftly to ride:      Galdrsfadhir, “The Father of Incantation” might to give and gain.      Holy rune-might flow      from the hoves of Hangatyr’s, “The God of the Hanged”, steed;      in streams of steadfast strength –      through staves of stalwart standing!

2.  Go to the northern rim of the VE and with the wand trace the circle in the direction of the sun, from left to right.

During this process sing:

The rune-might is drawn      ’round the holy-stead,      unwanted wights wend away!

3.  When the circle is complete return to the centre and facing the

original direction, perform the rune-ring portion of the hammer rite.

THE HAMMER RITE

This example is written in a northward orientation, and appropriate changes of course should be made in the order of GALDER in rites of an eastward orientation.

a)  With the rune wand in the right hand, face the North.

b)  Beginning with FEHU in the north, trace and send the runes of the futhark in a ring around you at the level of the solar plexus as far out as the circle on the ground or floor, always “with the sun” in a clockwise direction.  The ring of runes should form a complete band ending with OTHALA next to FEHU in the north after the circle has been gone completely around. The runes should be visualized as glowing, red characters floating about three or four feet in the air.

c)  Stand in the cross STADHA (arms straight out from the body) and visualize an equilateral cross lying horizontally in the plane of the rune ring and your solar plexus, with that point as the centre of the cross.  The arms of this cross should end at the points where they intersect the rune band at each of the cardinal points.  Imagine a surrounding sphere of shimmering blue light with the red rune band as its equator. Then visualize a vertical axis coming down through your head into your body from the infinite space above and up from the infinite space below through your feet.

d)  Feel and see the force flowing into your centre from all six directions (north, east, south, west, up, and down) as it builds a sphere of glowing red might.  The colour may be altered depending on the ritual intention.

When this is complete say:

The worrisome wights      now wend their way      eastward toward etin-home;      hallowed be the hall of Hroptatyr, “The God of Hidden Things”     with the help of Hrungnir’s slayer! “Thorr”

4.  Now perform the rest of the hammer rite.

e)  Facing north, the vitki should touch the lower part of the wand to the breast at the solar plexus, the centre of power, and thrust it forward, projecting the force from that centre to a point on the inside face of the outer sphere. Trace the Hammer of Thor with your dominant hand using the wand and draw from the might that has been accumulated in the sphere around you as follows (starting with the w and following theletters in normal order):

w

I

I

I

I

y _______I________ z

x

During this process intone:

Hammer in the North hallow and hold this holy-stead!

Then, turning 90 degrees to the right, send and sign another hammer sign in the same manner vibrating:

Hammer in the East hallow and hold this holy-stead!

In the South:

Hammer in the South hallow and hold this holy-stead!

And in the West:

Hammer in the West hallow and hold this holy-stead!

Returning to the north, direct your attention overhead, there send and sign the hammer on the “ceiling” of the sphere directly above you, saying:

Hammer over me hallow and hold this holy-stead!

And then project the hammer sign below the “floor” of the sphere (not the ground or room floor) directly beneath you and intone:

Hammer under me hallow and hold this holy-stead!

f)  Now, strike the cross STADHA again and vibrate:

Hammer hallow and hold this holy-stead!

Turning in the centre of the VE, repeat this once for each of the other four directions and once for the vertical axis.  The visual effect should be one of axes connecting all six shinning red hammers to your personal centre, all engulfed by a field of sparkling deep blue light and surrounded by a band of bright red runes.

g)  Finnally, center all the forces of the VE by folding your arms from the cross STADHA in toward your center, with your fingertips touching at the solar plexus, and saying:

Around me and in me Asgardhr and Midhgardhr!

5.  If the energy built up by the entire operation is to be internalised, then draw the collected energies into your personal centre by standing in the cross position, and while deeply inhaling, draw your arms in so that your fingertips touch your solar plexus.  Turn in all four directions and repeat this action, each time visualizing the sphere being drawn into your centre.  If the energy of the rite has been sent abroad, then you may simply split the sphere with your hand or knife and step out of the circle. More complex rituals can be worked into this more simple pattern. This is mainly a ritual for centring and banishing.

Bjarki – The Journey so far

Helm Awe 150x150 Bjarki – The Journey so farOne of the often-asked questions is about how exactly did I, as a pagan got started?

As a child I grew up like most of us in a city, but I never felt connected to the place. I found at a young age that I felt more grounded and relaxed whenever I was out along the river or better still, outside the city in a huge park or the woodland where deer roamed freely.

Visiting those places was always like removing a heavy restrictive coat. Of course at such a young age (I am talking 7 or 8 years old), I did not get it or even really think about it. I just knew I felt better out under the trees or by a riverside. I should explain that I had no religion – my family were never inclined to any system of faith – my only exposure being at school with the dull morning assemblies with their hymn singing! So I had no preconceived ideas of divinity or religion, I just always found the teachings of Christianity dry and colourless.

As I grew older into my teens I did all the usual things a big kid does. I played rugby and basketball, got heavily into Martial Art, and studied old books on woodcraft, I found in a tatty old second hand shop. Although popular at school inside I felt a growing sense of something missing in my life, but didn’t know what it was.

I spent more and more time out of the city, in the woodlands, learning woodcraft and more about nature in all aspects. Sun, rain, sleet or snow I would be out in the woods – and I loved it.

A voracious reader, I found myself looking for the answers to my life. The problem was I didn’t really know what the questions were! At 18 event took place that change my perception of the world, people and myself, and I found myself in the darkest of existences – lost and alone.

Books were still important to me and I gradually found myself reading about the world religions, and actually reading the books of faith themselves, (the Bible, Quoran, dhammapada, Bhagavad Gita etc)

It seemed to me that all of these faiths had much that spoke to me – but none sang to my soul. Fed up, I gave up, but still read books on ancient civilisations, cultures, social structures etc. During this time I became interested in early Anglo Saxon settlers here in Briton and discovered that the Anglo peoples where called Engle – and were the original English! Fascinated, I took to researching these people, their homes, clothes, agriculture and hunting, weapons and methods of war, their social organisation – and of course their religion, And their I found my spiritual home!

I’d been trained in martial arts for, by then most of my life, I’d had been given my first set of runes at 16, and connected with them from the first, the woodcraft I’d learnt,  my love of nature etc – all of a sudden I understood! All my life their had been signs pointing me in the right direction – I just had not seen what was under my nose!

I explored in everyway I could, the more I learnt the more I felt I’d come home.

On the 21st March 1990 a dark, rainy night I formally dedicated my self to my faith and the Gods and Goddess therein, almost straight away the life long feeling of their being something missing vanished.

The past 20 years have been one of both outer and inner exploration. The runes I first had when I was 16 became worn down, and my interest had begun to move from the Norse Elder Furhrak to the Anglo Saxon Futhorc – From 24 runes to 33! My path is Northern Tradition, Anglo Saxon / Old English Runic and many years ago came across The word Oslac (one who sacrifices to god (/ divine)) and began using it as an easier label for the spiritual path I live.

I’ve done things the hard way, or in my view the right way! Finding my Fetch / fulgya /Spirit animal / totem etc took several attempts where I fasted, deprived my self of sleep and water, meditated for hours everyday and performed rune chants and rune stances until I collapsing. I became ill several times but persevered until – on actually giving in! I succeeded! I believe that we cannot truly be given gifts spiritually – we must earn them through practice.

As I’ve grown older I often look back and shake my head at some of the more austere rites I put myself through. How ever, my path has always been a warriors path, hardship and strife are both a test and a tempering of the spirit and let face it, if your not prepared to actually work for your knowledge who are you kidding? I understand my opinion isn’t necessarily right for everyone.

I once met a man calling himself a “Rune Master”. On equiring as to how long he’d been studying runes, I was told he’d been a rune user for 10 years! I explained that I’d been studying runes for, at the time, 23 years – and still only considered myself reasonably adept in them – so how did he justify the title of master? I don’t think he like me!

I understand that there are as many pagan paths to the divine as there are people – but as with anything else in life, you only get out what you put in. so make the effort1 a spirituality that is merely tagged on to your existing life is shallow, ephemeral illusion. Put the real work in – I guarantee it’ll be worth it

Triquetra and it history and uses

Triquetra 150x150 Triquetra and it history and usesOriginally Triquetra means triangle and was used to describe any 3 cornered shape although it is used to identify a particular shape or pattern, three vesicae piscis*, equally spaced with own internal or external circle .

The Triquetra is an ancient symbol used in Germanic neopaganism and Celtic knotwork and early Christianity. In Germanic neopaganism, the symbol can be found carved on Rune stones or adorning the Mjöllnir / Thors Hammer and is similar to the Valknut three interlocking triangles associated with the God Odin. In Celtic knotwork It appears to have Christian links and is used to denote a person in triplicate or threefold. It is used heavily in Christianity to denote their father son and Holy Ghost (holy spirit). The Christian holy Trinity.

The Triquetra has been adopted by neopagan groups and Celtic Reconstructionist pagans, although the meaning behind the symbol differs. The idea of triplicate or threefold remains constant in some pagan groups will see the Triquetra as the goddess and her triple aspects of maiden, mother and crone. While some see as the divisions in the realms Earth sea and sky, or heavens Earth and underworld.

The Triquetra is a common symbol, and one of the simplest Celtic knots and can be found almost everywhere in the forms of earrings and pendants carvings in woodwork printed on fabrics and books, and it almost every single church that you come across as anything other architecture.

The TV series charmed, helps increase the popularity of the Triquetra due to the fact that the Triquetra was not only the symbol that adorned their book of shadows, but was also the source of their power “ the power of three will set us free” and I am sure that this helped raise. Not only interest in Wicca at the sales in Triquetra jewellery and books of shadows.

In Wicca is the Triquetra is used as a symbol for protection as well as for the triple aspects of the goddess.

Eclectic witchcraft

MagicCircleL 150x150 Eclectic witchcraftEclectic witchcraft is a strange form of paganism as although their a few books on the subject these are often subjective based a persons own personal experiences. Unlike those who follow neo pagan paths such as Wicca, Oslac, Celtic Shamanism, druidic etc there is no one to say what you are doing is wrong! The Eclectic witch is someone who embodies the true heart of a pagan and natural magicks learning through books and experimentation creating a personal spiritual path.

The eclectic may be formally trained within one or more pagan path as I was but after many years of group practice may find that they need to find a more personal connection with the divine, one of the reasons the eclectic is a solitary path. The eclectic witch will often blend one or more paths ideologies and practices into a solid effective path, which will work for them alone. Most eclectic witches will often be Wiccan based and eclectic Wiccan’s now out number the Traditional Wiccan.

The eclectic witch focuses on witchcraft rather that ritual and rite – some may say that the eclectic is sloppy and had hock in their practice, but this is far from the truth. The eclectic learns to work on instinct combining magicks and daily life as part of the natural course.

For many neo pagan paths casting of circles / mystic plots and scared spaces is the only place where magicks are preformed for the eclectic this formality to magicks can become a barrier which stifles creativity and the magicks it self.

If you live with magicks as a major part of your daily existence then why create a circles / mystic plots and scared spaces to contain it???

The best way to look at the Eclectic witch is to understand the basic difference between Wicca and other neo pagan paths and witchcraft – Although Wiccan and other neo pagan path may draw from historical concepts of witchcraft they do not embody witchcraft in it true form. Wicca and other neo pagan paths are beliefs with rules and regulation governed by Elders. While witchcraft has been around since time immoral and has been called folk magic, ancestor worship, even goddess worship. It resides in cultural memory and encompasses a variety of methodologies, which enable its practitioners to produce changes in their world using the symbols of their choosing.

Many neo pagans will see the eclectic as a sort of poor relations or black sheep or even wild child working blindly with out structure. Often saying that the eclectic has chosen their path out of convenience for a single spiritual path or that it does not match historical evidence to support prescription drugs without the path. The fact that modern pagans try to recreate a version of witchcraft based of historical evidence and call it a belief is a smack in the face to our heritage – witchcraft is not about historical recreations through book learning it about learning through experience and understanding, which can only be gained truly connecting to oneself and the divine.

An eclectic witch like all pagans will find their path through personal discovery and guides, and studying the old and new ways – This does not mean that every eclectic witch is pagan I have know over my many years of Christians, Catholics and Jews who practice witchcraft along side their beliefs making them eclectic witches although they would never call themselves that.

So how does one be come an eclectic witch?

You must first start with yourself find out what is important to you and your world what inspires your heart in art /history /mythology and other subjects. You must connect with yourself and any mythology that you feel connected to. There will be a lot of trail and error (one of the reasons that the eclectic maybe formally trained in one or more path) find out what works and what does not. You have to also examine your ethics and understand why you are choosing this path.

Ethics of the Eclectic Witch.

The problems with ethics is a matter of personal nature so it can be difficult, no impossible to come up with a set of ethics that will suit all eclectics but hopefully good judgement and an awareness of consequences and abiding by the laws of the land and the divine will be at the heart of every eclectic witch. I know personal that the Wiccan “Do what you will but harm none” does not work for the eclectic neither does Crowleys “do what you want be the whole law” for myself I use my own personal credo “do the best with each action and if harm be done let it be done for the right reasons with divine blessing swiftly so healing can begin”.

Final thoughts

The eclectic witch does not choose to be eclectic it’s a process that takes many years of personal and spiritual development. Some solitary practitioners of other paths may not even realise that they are eclectic as over the years they have added and changed things from their path to suit a solitary existence.

The Three worlds Of Healing

thor The Three worlds Of Healing This is not a copy or correlation of the Asian Chakra system, but a Northern European tradition of its own. In Oslac it’s called the 3 worlds based on the world tree Yggdrasil, the ancient Celts also had a version, which was called the three cauldrons.

3worlshealin The Three worlds Of Healing Asgarđ

Complex world. At birth our Knowledge is slight, we need to re-learn the world all over again. Yet here is where we find the home of the spirit, of Higher Self, and the place where Feorh (Life Force) is generated. It moves down the spine and permeates our whole body. As we gain in Knowledge we need to remember our spirit and not allow it to wilt beneath learning. Here in Asgarđ we learn to reach our higher self and the gods.

Midgarđ

The world of life and emotion. Isolation and emotional introversion are the enemies of this world. For those who are aware of all the life that surrounds them, this world has a rich feel, a feel of spring and summer, of the golden autumn and restful winter. In Midgarđ we learn to live in the moment ~ the satisfying completeness of the full awareness in the here and now.

Niflheim

This world is fully active in us even before are born! Here are our instincts, our wild, untamed reactions. The problem comes when modern life rationalizes these things until they are smothered. This process is often started by parents and teachers, (grow up, act your age! There is no such thing as magick! Etc). Niflheim is the under belly of the beast. Hie dygel lond (the hidden lands), our own intuition and instincts. Here too are where our reserves of Feorh are stored until needed. Here is the sometimes Dark Knowledge, of earth awareness, here is the shadow self for those who dare to explore and make peace with it, greater knowledge and peace can be found. Accepting our darker self is the first step to changing it.

We live in strange times. Many people live with a toehold in the world of Asgarđ, but only equate knowledge with only what they are taught and not with what they feel. The spirit, the higher self, and the divine remain unexplored. These people live in Midgarđ in a stunted way; overly conscious of a body they are brainwashed into hating by the media, and having an incomplete emotional life. They are taught to deny Niflheim even to fear it, and yet true completeness can only come from genuine integration of all three worlds.

One method of learning to explore the three worlds of which there are actually nine: Asgarđ = Æsir, Vanir, Alfheim Midgarđ = Humankind, Jotenhim, Nidavellir, Svartalheim Niflheim = Helheim and Hel, is to think upon the Yggdrasil (the world tree) (representing the human spin). By using what is now known as the Runic Internal Energy System you can learn to move up and down the levels of consciousness. Balance is the key to harmony, and harmony is the door to the gods.

Queen Reina Sigrith

odin 150x150 Queen Reina SigrithThroughout pagan history there have been those historical pagans who battle to keep the old gods alive. These mortals held the old god higher and equal to any other god many so devoted they gave their lives becoming martyrs to the cause.

One such hero is the great Queen Reina Sigrith widow of Rey Erik the victorious one of Sweden now there is no reason sited why today the 9th Nov is associates Queen Reina Sigrith of Sweden many conclude that it is her wedding day that was to be to Olaf the Lawbreaker. But there is no conclusive prove why it just is.

The 9th Nov the day of Queen Reina Sigrith of Sweden is celebrated in many Norse Heathen traditions.

The legend goes – When Olaf the Lawbreaker had been king of Norway for three years, he asked Queen Sigrith of Sweden to marry him. She agreed, but when he insisted that she give up her ancestral Gods Sigrith replied, I do not mean to abandon the faith I have led, and my kinsmen before me. Nor shall I object to your belief in the god you prefer. As usual Heathen tolerance was met with kristjan imprecations and a blow to the face (she struck it with a glove and she left). The wedding was off – depriving Olaf of political power that could have sped the christianisation of Scandinavia. As it were, history tells us that the Heathens held on for over 300 more years in the Northlands. Hail Sigrith, defender of Asatru, and women of stubborn virtue!
