It is also know to some that the Druids Warred with Gods both for and against them. Was Mistletoe their secret Deicide???

Heathen Nemetonic or Hammer Hallowing Sacred Space.

Image
>> Hammer Hallowing (of a sacred space). One makes the Hammer-Sign facing North, East, South, West, and then with the fist aimed at sky/ceiling and finally at ground/floor in order to clear sacred space. The Elhaz Rune is often used in the same way and for the same purpose. Hammer Hallowing = using the Hammer-Sign to consecrate sacred space for a Heathen ritual. See Hammer-Sign and Hammarsettung. Hammer-Sign = religious gesture symbolizing Thor's Hammer. Invokes the hallowing and protecting presence of Thor. To Hammer-Sign yourself: with clenched fist, touch forehead, just below breastbone, just below left breast, then just below right breast. You have essentially made an upside-down capital T. You can also make the same gesture in the air over anything you wish to hallow. Ben Middleton once made it in the air in front of him while calling on Thor to successfully stop a pursuing pack of feral dogs! Don't go out of your way to test that out yourself; Thor helps those who ...

Use of the Term Heathen

As a Druid of perhaps Old School, I normally use the term "Heathen" and "Pagan" interchangeably as they were in pre Twentieth Century press. See my blog "What we so soon forget under the Druid's Tree" for a reference. http://hoodoo-vodou-druido-grove.blogspot.com/2014/08/what-we-so-soon-forget-under-druids-tree.html Yet Neo-Heathenism has aquire a new well accepted meaning. That of pertaining to old Germanic, Nordic and Viking religions that have be reborn as Asatru , Odlinism and others. So here in "A Druid in Midgard"  I to will use it in its newer social context.

What's Wrong about Valknut

Image
The Valknut. >> The  valknut  ( Old Norse   valr , "slain warriors" +  knut , "knot") is a  symbol  consisting of  three  interlocked  triangles , and appears on various Germanic  objects. A number of theories have been proposed for its significance. The name  valknut  is an unattested modern invention used to describe the symbol, and was not used contemporarily when the symbol was used. The valknut has been compared to the three-horned symbol found on the 9th century  Snoldelev Stone , and may be related to it << http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valknut The  Stora Hammars I stone , where the valknut occurs in the most central and predominant position, appears alongside images interpreted as Odin with a  characteristic spear  shunting another figure into a burial mound while a  raven  is overhead and another man is hanged. Odin with  Sleipnir . Valknuts are drawn beneath the horse...

Lullaby of the Gods.

I come bearing three words on the wind. Wyrd Orlog Hamingja I speak with the Words of Others. Some may see the flash of my Teeth. But only the most Kenning of Eyes. Will ever see me or my Sisters. Yet none are made or unmade without me. I am here before the Born I  am here from Shore to Shore I am here when your Hag does Mourn Before I strike the Banshee Cry For my tongue is  Bérla Féini  And most hear Dark Speak only to Die For I am Charm and I am Arm Beware of the one with just one Eye You may call me  Mjölnir Sleep well now Baby and do not Cry. Postscript: I know this is odd Awen, yet I am but Summerland's humble scroll.  TDK Copyright George King September 09, 2014 TDK / The Druid King   While it may not be clear in the poem what ( Hamarr)  Mjölnir is sayings is that Wyrd ( fate personified)  and Orlog ( fundamental law) are her  Heads  while Hamingja (Family Souls or Bloodlines) her  fore-haf.  Somehow that the fore-haf is...
