Rune Quest: Uruz

𝕯𝖎𝖘𝖈𝖑𝖆𝖎𝖒𝖊𝖗!
THIS IS NOT A RUNE READING AND I AM NOT GIVING AN IN-DEPTH LOOK AND MEANING OF EACH RUNE. THIS IS A VERY PERSONAL JOURNEY THAT I HAVE UNDERTAKEN YEARS AGO AND I FEEL LIKE SHARING IT WITH OTHER LIKE-MINDED PEOPLE WHO ARE DOING SIMILAR JOURNEYS AND PRACTICES CONSERNING THE RUNES AND THE NORSE MAGICAL TRADITION. ALSO NOTE THAT I AM NOT A CERTIFIED “SHAMAN” IN ANY WAY SHAPE OR FORM AND I DON’T DO COMMISSIONS CONCERNING SHAMANIC JOURNEYS WITH OR FOR OTHER PEOPLE. THIS IS A PERSONAL AND PRACTICAL STUDY AND IT WILL STAY LIKE THAT. THANK YOU FOR YOUR UNDERSTANDING!

THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH FOR READING AND I HOPE TO HEAR AND READ YOUR FEEDBACK IN RETURN.

This journey came upon me at the completion of another Runic journey. I thought I was returning to my body, when I heard a woman’s voice from the sky calling for me to follow her. I felt crabby and didn’t want to, so I was kind of putzing around. She said, “Get up boy and follow me now!” I rapidly rose into the winds through my portal. I was shifting rapidly from moment to moment – quick, windy, jerking shifts, then after moments of trying to adjust or keep up with this, I found myself perched on a bluff overlooking the “Blue Stream” River. She said, “your beloved river.” (I knew this to be the south-western portion of the River that I love & have spent much time camping/sitting along the shore there) I dove down into the water and sank, sank slowly to lay at the bottom.

Getting started with Norse Mythology

NOTE! I HAVE BEEN REQUESTED AND ASKED TO REPOST THIS WONDERFUL ARTICLE, WHICH WAS ORIGINALLY WRITTEN BY THE WONDERFUL PEOPLE OF THE Mimisbrunnr. WEBSITE. I AM NOW SIMPLY SHARING THIS ARTICLE WITH YA’LL BECAUSE IT IS ONE OF THE BEST (IF NOT THE BEST IN RECENT YEARS) INTRODUCTION TO THE SUBJECT AND IT IS ALSO SO BRILLIANTLY WRITTEN AND PRESENTED. WITH THAT OUT OF THE WAY, PLEASE CONTINUE READING THE TEXT BELOW AND CRAFT YOUR OWN MYTHS!

Quality resources on Norse mythology have never been more plentiful, approachable, and available than today. Unfortunately, looking for all that quality information on the topic also means sorting through more nonsense than ever before: The internet in particular swarms with hucksters, ideologues, and other purveyors of misinformation, and their combined marketing efforts make disentangling fiction from fact tough. But whether you’re casually interested in Norse myth or you’re embarking on a life-long journey to become as familiar with the Old Norse record as possible, we here at Mimisbrunnr.info have designed this guide solely so that you may ponder the great mysteries of the corpus with the rest of us.

As this guide outlines, Mimisbrunnr.info recommends that you start with retellings. From there, you might consider approaching some of the better known and important items of the Old Norse corpus while consulting quality tertiary sources (such as handbooks) and thereafter approach more advanced studies based on your interests. The needs and desires of readers will vary, and you should feel comfortable swapping one step for another. Whatever the case, beginner researchers are wise to consult only material published by university presses until they feel entirely comfortable with discerning fact from fantasy.

A Small Ship in the Ocean of Creativity, Success…and Horror!

Alright, poster time folks!! Yes indeed! 🙂 (this time with a bit of tentacles, lighthouses and ghost ships stranded amidst the deep and primeval oceans of the world). So it became a kind of a standing tradition in here for me to announce a new poster and also I like writing these short explanatory infomation sheets for you all in order to keep your minds occupied, hooked and maybe get you something to read, instead of looking for the next 10 second fb “funny” feed with memes or whatever, but please don’t be a stranger and say a few words in the comment section or PM me if your hearts desire. (I don’t bite…much. I promise.).

Alright folks, GRAPHIC DESIGN prime time!! 

So, I’ve been playing a lot of 𝐃𝐚𝐫𝐤𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐃𝐮𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐨𝐧 lately, trying to clear ruins, coves and warrens and not FAIL misserably in the process, but if you have played DD at all, then you probably know that FAILING is a huge part of this game, its mechanics and it’s pretty salty experience overall. (Dark Souls looks like a little child in comparison). I guess that’s why DD is so popular among hard-boiled RPG nerds and gamers alike and it’s not without reason. And so I always wanted to commemorate and pay my respects to the devs from Red Hook, but also I was very, very inspired and enchanted by the overall Lovecraftian and dark gothic aesthetic and atmosphere that the game offers and well, I made this T-Shirt design for myself and printed it and will wear the god damn thing ‘tlll my last day on this earth holding a torch, hacking and slashing my way through mobs and mobs of vermin and vile abominations!!! RAAAAAAWR!!!! No seriously I am sharing it here with the rest of ya nerds, dark fantasy lovers, tentacle-mad occultists and Darkest Dungeon aficionados, in the hopes that you might actually do the same and have an awesome T-shirt at your disposal. Print it, wear it or just make a classy poster for your man cave (or woman cave 🙂 ) It’s up to you nerds! But be aware that I have spent almost an entire day on this design (continued on the second from morning till dawn with finishing touches) and now I am giving it for free. There are no string attached here, no traps or payements, and I ain’t asking for anything, (apart from crediting me wherever or just say thanks) and just enjoy and use this design wherever or whenever you like! It’s a fan gift for the fans. All the best and see you in the murky Hamlet or through the Darkest of Dungeons and ruins of this world.
