Date: 2023-10-16 05:27 pm (UTC)I read JMG's blogs and from that, have gotten to read your work as well. You have an amazing breath of knowledge and thank you fo r the thoughtful ways you share your knowledge. You did a Rune reading for me a while back, and the results allowed me to rethink and recalibrate my original plan of action.
I just wanted to let you know that I too have added prayer along with meditations, charity and music to the various deities of the week. I find prayer to be incredibly helpful in allowing me to achieve a certain grace of neutrality that is helpful in allowing me to examine my initial, often times petty first reaction. And being in nature makes everything so much more pleasant and quiet.
If you don't mind a question: Can you recommend any good reference material on the Elder Futhark Rune interpretations from the older Vanir pantheon, and also, do you think it's possible to cultivate a relationship to the Norns, or are they beyond any interest in humans? I have been picking out a Rune a day, to contemplate my the meanings. I am almost through my second pass. After this I may talk to them and ask if it's OK to do simple divination with them. I really like them a lot!! Thanks so much for your contributions to my magical education and all blessings to you, if you'll have them.
Regards,
Mary
