Cyber Cauldron

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.

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.

This is a huge subject so understand that this is just a basic overview it will take a lifetime of study to full understand Lyblác. Lyblác uses plants and natural medicines for healing.

There are five main ways of preparing plants for use as medicines. These are:-

Tincture-

Submerge plants in a jar with 3x the quantity of clear spirit such as vodka, Leave for two weeks then strain into a dark glass bottle. The tincture will keep for 1 – 2 years and is usually taken as one teaspoon in a glass of water.

Infusion-

Place a slack handful of crushed / chopped plants into a pint of water. Bring to boil, allow to steep, strain well, and drink honey can be used to sweeten.

Decoction-

This is usually from roots or the bark of a plant / tree or shrub. Cut scrape and mash the plant soak in water for 2-2 ½ hours, bring to boil simmer until water reduces by a 1/3 Usually taken by application or digestion

Expressed Juice-

Crush plant, apply juice directly

Poultice-

Mash relevant parts of plant into a pulp and form in to a wad or pad and bandage onto affected area. Various other things were often added to a poultice to help bind it together, bran mash, porridge, damp mouldy bread were all used, as were moss and even mud.

Lyblác can be a lifetime study but here are a few examples of plants and their medical uses. The names in brackets are the Old English names.

Plantain (wegbræde)

As a poultice to staunch bleeding.

Burdock (clate)

A decoction of root as anti septic

Comfrey (galloc)

Poultice / decoction of root as anti septic

Dock (docce)

Express juice of leaves for nettle stings, aches, sprains and brusies

Elm (Ulmtreow)

Infusion of bark same uses as dock

Willow (welig)

Infusion of bark same uses as dock

Feverfew (feferfugie)

Infusion of all the plant except the roots

Dandelion (æwgrt)

Decoction of whole plant for stomach upset

Hazel (hæsl)

Infusion of leaves for diarrhoea

A general Oslac follower will know the uses of between 50 and 60 plants for medicinal use. The followers that take a specific interest in Lyblác will learn a great deal more!

NEVER use any plant as a medicine unless you know EXACTLY what you are doing

Rune 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 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 –

Feet 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 –

Lower 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 –

Stand 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 –

Let 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 –

Turn 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 –

Place 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

And with any practice ground Buy Acomplia Online yourself!!!

Much is written about the Yggdrasil, the world tree that supports the nine worlds on 3 levels of being. The concept of a central pole, pillar, tree that holds the cosmos together, dividing and connecting the heavens and the earth is found all over the world, in many cultures (totem poles, Chinese tree of life, the kabbalah, Yggdrasil, the Saxon Irminsul etc).

All of these can correlate to the human spine( the microcosm of the universes macrocosm).

Starting at the head (where Feorh is generated) and working down the spin to the lumbar area there are 24 vertebrae, equating to the runes Feoh to Doeg. The sacrum is composed of 5 bones fused together equating to the runes Ac to Ear, the coccyx 3 bones equating to the runes Calc to Stan. This gives us 32 runes. As the Sacrum and coccyx are fused together as a single entity they create the final (33^rd) rune; Gar. This gives us not 3 aetts but 4, the fourth aetts expanding on the meanings of the others.

By meditation on the rune corresponding to each vertebrate we can engage on internal energy work, moving up or down the spine to explore the runes and the worlds.

Always start at Midgarđ (9^th thoracic vertebra) and work up to Asgarđ (the skull) or down to Niflheim (between the 3^rd and 4^th sacral vertebra. About the level with the pubic bone at the front of the body). ALWAYS leave at Midgarđ too!! Working down the body draws in sky energies whilst working up the body draws in earth energies. Remember balance and harmony! As always ground your self afterward.

One of the most diverse forms of practice shamanism conjures images of witch doctors, voodoo priest and barbaric rites. More clearly defined as a tradition than a pagan path shamanism has a very long history and is the heart of all pagan magicks. Shamanism is a ancient and natural form of magick untouched to some extent from modern day magick and neo pagan influences.

The heart of a shaman is personal experience learning to battle demons personal and spiritual to gain knowledge both personal and spiritual as well as learning magick skills that are taught through communion with higher spirits and deities.

Shamanic practices are present in all pagan path that being said a large number of pagans are now choosing to call themselves simple Shaman and to follow a shamanic path.

Shamans will often spend a majority of their time seeking visions in solitude mostly in natural surroundings commonly known as vision questing, during which time a shaman will gain spiritual knowledge of plants and herbs through communion with plants, they will even meet guides and totems to aid them in magickal workings.

The central belief of shamans is that everything contains a spirit from the smallest grain of sand to the largest mountain, animals, plants even the elements have their own spirits and through training a shaman will be able to communicate with these spirit to gain alliances, gain information or do battle and defeat said spirits. The trained shaman will act as an intermediary between the earth realm and spirit world he or she will act as guide for others, healer or diviner.

It is common for shaman to use mind altering substances to help lift them into the spirit world, the term “mind altering substances” may include ritual herbs with psychotropic elements but more likely to dancing and drumming, fasting or sweat lodge

A quote from Shamanic Voices by Joan Halifax

‘Shamans are healers, seers, and visionaries. .. They are in communication with the world of gods and spirits. Their bodies can be left behind while they fly to unearthly realms. They are poets and singers. They dance and create works of art.  They are familiar with cosmic as well as physical geography; they know the ways of plants, animals, and the elements. They are psychologists, entertainers, and food finders. Above all, however, shamans are technicians of the sacred and masters of ecstasy.’

Due to the rise in the interest in Shamanic Practices more information has become available and there has been a huge rise in the numbers of Shamanic groups offering training.

Since due to shamanic practices are in there purest form are part of tribal culture and accessibility due to culture and location are limited making pure shamanism much less accessible as a pagan path, Modern shamanic paths are based from known shamanic practices from sociological and anthropological studies as well as reconstructions from historical accounts from traditional cultures such as The Native tribes of America.

As I sit here with a running nose and a banging head my mind turns to days past when granny would make her lemon drink and make me stand in the road where tarmacking was going on as she said the fumes would clear my chest.

Now over the years I have never been one to take chemical remedies unless I really have to and always seem to full back on grandma drink.

Now this is a very simple drink to make but I have made adjustments adding my own special twists but the basic is as follows-

Ingredince

4 large lemons

8 tsp brown sugar

¼ tsp of Coleman’s English mustard powder (don’t use pre mixed mustard if cant find use adaptation)

2 tbsp of clear honey

Large pan of water

Extra water to top up

Recipe

Place the lemons in a bowl and cover with boiling water then remove wipe and slice in to thin disc and place in saucepan cover with just enough cold water so that all of the lemon is submerged.

Boil until reduce by half add honey and mustard and sugar stir top up original level and bring to the boil once more stirring to insure that it does not burn once the fluid had reduced by half again top pan up to ¾ full and bring back to boil then simmer for a few mins and pour into a cup and drink. And turn off heat

Keep drink the liquid throughout the day you can always top up pan with more water if necessary remembering to reheat before drinking.

Some of the adaptations I have used are

To replace mustard powder use chilli powder or fresh chillies the hotter the better.

I have also added herbal teabags to brew including feverfew and camomile to add an extra dimension.

Other remedies I can remember was her cough juice not very pleasant but effective if there was no tar macking going on.

She would take a large Spanish onion slice in half place on a plate of sugar and cover in cling film and place in fridge the next day all the liquid that had come from onion and mixed with sugar would be drunk and the remaining sugar would be mixed with warm water and drunk.

But my favourite is probably the most simple and was used to get a good nights sleep was a glass of warm milk with a shot of whiskey

NB these are old family remedies and are not to be used as cures and should not be giving to anyone as a prescribed medicine if you are unwell you should seek your doctors advice.

Stones and crystals have continuously fascinated us these mysterious jewels buried deep inside the earth have been used to embellish and decorate almost everything. Stones and crystals have been valued not just for the beauty but also for the rarity.
Stones and crystals have also been used as symbols of power and status, as payment, for divination, in technologies and in magicks. Stones and crystals are some of the rarest and most common structures on the planet and in the universe.
Stones and crystals are very easy to acquire now a days and prices range from a few pennies to Hundreds of thousands of pounds depending on their size and how rare they are. Every house will have few stones and crystals hanging around (whither you’re a pagan or not) in jewelery, in (or as an) ornaments or even glued to a birthday card, making them a part of our daily lives.
But Stones and crystals also have magickal and healing properties which is simple to perform and relatively low cost. When you purchase or find your stones and crystals the first thing you will need to clean your stones and crystals of negative energy.
Cleaning Stones
Stones and crystals are thousands if not millions of years old and have their own energies and spirits, some may contain other spirits or guardians so before rushing to cleanse them it is advisable to spend some time listening to the crystal to see if it needs cleansing and what way is best to cleanse them.
There are a number of ways to cleanse a crystal of any past influences or negativities.
Cleansing Methods
1. Run stones and crystals under cold running water, where possible use a stream but a garden hose or kitchen tap will do.
2. Bury the stones and crystals in ground earth a clay pot full of soil will do, length of time depend on your own feelings (3 days, part or full lunar cycle etc)
3. Sun or moon cleansing leave in direct moonlight or sunlight for 3 to 7 days.
4. Rubbing or encasing in sea salt
5. Pass through associated incense or smudge stick
Once the stones and crystals have been cleansed they will need charge or empower the crystal to a desired purpose. Each crystal will have a number of correspondences and it is possible enchant a crystal with a desired purpose such as a charm or talisman but always choose the correct crystal for the desired out come.
Charging and directing your stones and crystals.
