Wane Wyrds

It's been hectic lately but I wanted to share some new things of mine, and some changes her on the site. There are some new writings on the Vanir gods that I have published both on my own and through another site that I want to share with everyone so you know where to find them. The first news is that I have published a new ebook on Amazon called Lore of the Vanir, a brief overview of the Vanir Gods . You can find it here at  Amazon: Lore of the Vanir Lore of the Vanir is basically a section of a larger work in progress that I decided to release on its own. It is a basic overview of the lore and attributes of the Vanir gods as individuals, as well as what I call the wights of the Vanir, which are non-Vanir beings closely related to them. There is also a section regarding questionable connections, with short overviews of some more obscure Germanic figures that some believe may be earlier forgotten Vanir deities.

My inner voice every time I thought about the Lokean post for the last year...      Looking back, I can see that much of that...

In Part 1 of this series I explored the idea of trees as magical companions and spoke briefly about some simple ways to connect with them and form some sort of relationship to these natural beings. In this part I will explore connecting with them as sources of energy and talk about a simple healing ritual I have used with my own sacred tree that has worked well for me in the past. Trees as Energy Sources: Subtle yet Potent Trees, and plants in general, are in my mind very powerful vehicles for the flow of energy in nature. Particularly the energy of earth. They are some of the few living beings in nature that have access to both the external and internal energies of the earth, and as such are often symbolic of the cyclical flow of nature between life and death. Trees have access to both the creative and destructive aspects of earth.  The energy of earth is often viewed as much more subtle than that of the other elements, given that it is a quiet process, we cannot fe...
