Álfar, gnomes, and dwarfes

LAH-SAH invitation  As I began the magical work of contacting Álfar, I was amazed at how quickly they demonstrated examples of our collaboration directly in material reality on two specific issues (my body and my garden). It was very much a "wow effect" in both. Sure, I have a lot of rocks in my garden... I didn't understand why these amazing creatures are called dwarves or gnomes, after all, it only spoils the possible contact with them. Of course, I held a radical view, only "Álfar", because it corresponded to my amazement and gratitude. Today I keep my radicalism for my personal approach, and let others choose. So, let's do it. I would like to start by saying that if one expects strict classification and clarity from collections of fragments of Norse mythology, i.e. Eddas, one should start looking at other things than Norse magic (actually magic). Nor is it unambiguous from the point of view of folkloristics. We don't have the original Norse sources p...

My Fylgja and Me

  This article aims  to describe my relationship with my personal Fylgja and certain experiences I have had with it when activating it. I also assume that the reader has some experience with rune magic and knows what Fylgja is all about. It is also necessary to accept that we do not know the answers to all the questions that may come to mind concerning Fylgja. Moreover, the answers we find may not always apply in general.   If I had to say in one word what Fylgja is, I would say a guide.  A guide to what? The way we sacrifice ourselves for the Self. This statement comes across as odd, perhaps poseur-like, to someone who hasn't taken this journey. In that case, the reader must be content with the common claim in Norse folklore that the Fylgja is only seen before death.   Some words from runic psychology If the reader is unsatisfied with a simple explanation, I will outline a little from runic psychology.  Fylgja is usually connected to th...

Álfar, the Hidden folk and Midsummer Night (from the series personal feasts)

  Introduction The Midsummer Night is an interesting feast for me, not only because of the customs from the land of my childhood but also because of the various wonderful stories about the hidden folk.  There were occasional stories about encounters with the hidden folk; interestingly, these stories had some commonalities. Sure, we might say, these people got drunk at night and that was all story. It is just that the narrative, which I heard with my own ears several times, was not from a drunk.  I am not able to guarantee that all the stories I was referring to took place on Midsummer's Night. Some stories may be, but my story certainly did. So, my witness was returning home at midnight on St. John's Night through the boonies and met a big bonfire and people in historical costumes. They invited him to join them. There was merriment, dancing, singing... all a good time. He felt awfully comfortable there and after what felt like 10 minutes, he asked if he could bring his wi...

About the Bornless Ritual

  The Bornless ritual is the basic building block for magical work if we want to come into contact with our Holy Guardian Angel (HGA), invoke it, and in general get in touch with this manifestation of ourselves in some way. Of course, there are other methods and ways of working, but in this article, I am only concerned with this ritual. I believe ritualization is essential if we are not concerned only with random appearances. It is also a practice where it is the contact with the HGA, whether external or internal, that we purposely aim for under our Will (serious intent). In magic, we also find approaches in which HGA becomes uninteresting or only a marginal issue. People practicing this way have other priorities, which is also perfectly fine. In this article, I draw on approaches where, on the contrary, any work with HGA is a priority. It can take different forms, have different intensities, and also manifest in different ways within the manifestation, and it is not at all relevan...

The magic of blood

  First of all, I want to say that blood is not necessary for magic, not even necessary. Blood in magic is a superstructure. Simply something extra if you hold the view that at certain times and in certain rituals it is more than appropriate. It is absolutely not appropriate to force yourself into this practice for any reason. Magic will survive without blood because there are many other ways and directions in which you can self-realize in magic. I'll point out things that can be used to replace blood as well. There it will be more about the symbolism of blood.  We associate blood with life and the colour red is its symbol. Often this colour alone is enough because there is a connection with the symbolism of blood. It is the colour of the runes, the various seals that we animate. Often red wine is used symbolically instead of blood (the more ferrous the better).  For practical effects, it must be remembered that the blood itself does not stay red for long, but its colour ...

About the vampyric magic

  I ask the amiable reader to take this article as an introduction to an exciting approach to magic. When I write about the concept of "vampiric magic" I mean an introduction that can be applied successfully in any magic with any focus on magic, not something special. To write about vampirism in magic is to write about a topic that is controversial in itself because most people immediately think of fangs, streams of blood, hypnotizing others, and in the worst case, unorganized manipulation. I am not going to write about the fact that this includes sawing teeth (performed professionally by a dentist), robbing blood banks, or the bad habit of letting your hypnotized victims levitate. I no longer intend to fulfill the pop culture idea of a vampyre or a vampire, nor do I aim to reflect on whether someone should be a vampyre, or feel like a vampire, and I will no longer discuss the so popular topic of adolescent youth, how to become a vampire. I am not kidding with you, there exis...

Khemetic Heka and Nordic magic with vampyric attitude (Archein)

  If I started practicing magic many years ago, I have no idea what type of magic it would be. Indeed, I was interested in Ancient Egypt,  vampirical horror stories, Lovecraft, and the Thoth tarot deck. Before me lay a long path full of ambushes, difficulties,  and  emotionally tense situations. We all are personalities with various dispositions and various handicaps, and  for personal growth, we have to get to know ourselves with both these sides and balance them. In this article, I write about my main branches of magic.    I am the type of mage who needs immediate contact with entities. If I am writing about the mage I mean the psychical state. This way of work interested and absorbed me, but doing this work for practical life is considerable two things: The first is the learning to perceive every eternal being without fantasies. This type of learning has  demands on time and consistency.  The second is the cultural context. I am still conv...
