~ The whispers of a rune reflection ~


From earthen womb and lunar lore we’re cast,
Sun-kissed and moon-touched, to forever outlast.
Cyclic dance of light and shadow’s gleam,
Weaving fate and destinies of waking dream.

Through mystic runes, our spirits find their way,
To ancient currents where old powers lay.
Solar fire ignites the soul’s desire,
Rune whispers calm the inner pyre.
Illuminating the soul’s deep core,
Ancient wisdom, a healing store.
Guiding us to life’s sacred lore.

Consciousness expands, our strength endures, conscience purifies.
As cosmic tides and wisdom’s light allure.
Love’s gentle flame, a spark within our core,
As shadows deepen, we discover more.
Beneath the veil, where secrets softly hide,
The moon’s embrace, a steady, guiding tide.

In the heart’s center, where wisdom’s light does gleam,
Harmony, abundance and joy are a perfect stream.
Unfolding slowly the soul’s spiritual dream.

A secret smile

Ah, the secret #smile, a pleasure reserved for those delightfully absurd moments alone. There I was, after spiritual teaching, feeling rather accomplished, when a nonsensical truth popped into existence. It was like realizing I spend half my life searching for my glasses, only to have them perched on my head the whole time. The same went for my outfit today – meticulously planned, only to crave the comfort and warmthn of my favorite sweater.
In these moments, a silent grin spreads across my face. It’s a self-deprecating chuckle, a knowing nod to the absurdity of it all. It’s a moment of quiet communion with the universe, a shared recognition of the nonsensical beauty of existence. In my smile, there’s a touch of amusement, a hint of bewilderment, and a whole lot of “Yep, that’s just how things go around here.”

~ Empowering my inner compass ~

IS: I am a beacon of calm amidst distractions. My thoughts are my instruments of power, guiding me to perceive my environment clearly. I detach from external influences, attuned to my inner strength and the universal will. I am the director of my reality, empowered to shape my experience with unwavering focus.

The Sigurd Sagas: A Guide to Facing Your Dragons

The Sigurd Sagas: A Guide to Facing Your Dragons
In the Norse saga, Volsunga, Sigurd, a mighty warrior, slays the dragon Fafnir and gains wisdom by tasting its blood. He awakens Brynhild, a Valkyrie, but their happiness is cut short by manipulation. Despite facing a predetermined fate, Sigurd bravely carves his own path. Though his story ends tragically, his heroism inspires us with courage, resilience, and the pursuit of knowledge.



Sigurd the Dragon-Slayer wasn’t just powerful; he was shrewd.  Before facing the formidable Fafnir, he devised a cunning plan, exploiting the dragon’s vulnerabilities.  When approaching your own challenges, channel your inner Sigurd. Don’t be reckless – gather information, strategize, and leverage any advantages you can find.
Sigurd’s tale reminds us that wisdom can come from surprising places. Heeding the warnings of birds, typically overlooked creatures, proved crucial in his survival.  Be open to learning from all sources, even those that seem insignificant. Sometimes, the key to overcoming a hurdle lies in an unexpected conversation or a seemingly random detail.
Sigurd’s encounter with Brynhild, the Valkyrie, teaches us that true strength isn’t limited to physical prowess.  Brynhild’s wisdom and courage complement Sigurd’s own.  Remember, collaboration and compassion are essential qualities.  Seek allies who share your goals and values, and value their strengths alongside your own.
Sigurd’s path was fraught with trials, many outside his control. Yet, he persevered, adapting to the situations he faced.  Life will present detours and challenges.  Focus on navigating them with resilience and resourcefulness. The true measure of heroism lies not just in achieving goals, but in the growth gained along the way.
Like Sigurd, you too can conquer your own dragons.  Face your challenges with reason, strategy, and a thirst for knowledge.  Embrace the wisdom gleaned from experience, and forge your own path to heroism.

Cyclicity, non-attachment and divine whispers


Life often leads me briefly down a side path that disrupts my flow, a stark reminder of its cyclical nature of life. Yet, amidst the change, I find myself continually drawn backforcefully to the present moment. Perhaps that’s the lesson – to exist in the in-between of the ever-turning cycle (THORN). 
Everything is impermanent, even the flow of creation. Like the tide, needsing it’s ebb and flow (YR). What fueled me yesterday may no longer serve me tomorrow. It forces me to confront my ego attachments in life, the goals I clung to so tightly.  Am I ready to embrace the unknown challenges that rise with the sun in the morning?
“Destiny”. It’s a word that both excites and terrifies. Is it a preordained path, or can we shape it with our choices? Perhaps it’s the zenith, that point of culmination, where we stand poised to step across a threshold.Here, we have the power to choose – to rise in victory or stumble in defeat.
But victory isn’t solely dependent on our actions. The Divine whispers in the silence, offering guidance and strength (LAF). It’s in understanding the cycle and letting go of attachments that we recognize this divine presence. Only then can we truly seize the moment, “… and graft life fully for its full beauty.”
This journey requires courage, a boldness that confronts challenges head-on (grasping the bull by the horns). Yet, it must be balanced with inner peace, a deep trust in the nurturing embrace of the Divine. 
Maybe that’s the key. To navigate the ever-turning cycle (THORN) with a heart unburdened by attachment (YR), all while seeking the whispers of divine guidance (LAF). Perhaps then, I can evolve into the person and presence I’m meant to be.
