9 Ways of the Vanir Spread or Cast: In depth Divination

Hey everyone, I have been working on the Vanir Glyphs book steadily and it is almost complete. This week I have been sort of beta testing the glyphs for divination using the cast or spread I created based on the Nine Ways of the Vanir listed in the Alvíssmál, translated by Henry Adams Bellows. In this question and answer series between  the dwarf Alviss and Thor. Alviss describes different concepts in terms of how they are named by different groups of wights, One of these being the Wanes (Vanir). The nine subjects attributed to the Vanir are as follows, how the Wanes refer to it, and the second being what it is Thor asks Alviss to describe. For example Thor asks what the wights call earth, and to the Wanes it is called "the ways," etc. etc. These nine subjects are commonly referred to as the " ways of the Vanir." The Ways = Earth The Weaver of Winds = Heaven Kites of the Winds = Clouds The Hush of Winds = Calm The Wave = Sea Wildfire = Fire The Wan...

Review: FIRE JEWEL: A Devotional for Freyja

Image
I'm usually not much for pagan devotionals, mostly because there are alot of them out there of varying states of quality or lack therof. It can be hit and miss when you are a creating a devotional work by various authors, many of whom are amateur writers and poets. I was interested in this work however, for a couple of reasons. The recent release of FIRE JEWEL: A Devotional for Freyja by Gefion Vanirdottir piqued my interest, I have been waiting for its release. Mainly because one) there is so little devotional material available geared specifically to Freyja and 2) I have know of its release for some time and the author is familiar to me. She is someone I know from a few different forums online and I have always found her to be a very open-minded and knowledgeable person when it comes to the practice of Vanatru.
