All three Abrahamic religions are fear-based: fear of death, fear of punishment, fear of Nature. I de-programmed myself by investigating the history of the Bible, Koran, etc, and could see through the transparent lies I had been told as a child.

I keep myself sane with sleep meditation. I produce my own tracks and go to sleep listening to them over Bluetooth buds. I just made this one and thought that maybe some of you would find it relaxing and stress reducing. It's a mix of Borneo, Gambian and Madagascar jungle sounds, with a...

Death is transformation. Animals (and plants, after their fashion) are ensouled. We are all fellow travelers in the Universe. For us Norse/Celtic Pagans Freyja, the Vanadis, is the special patron of cats. Your Soul Sister will find her way to Folkvangr.

Absolutely. One day humans will have to come to terms with the reality of an unbounded Universe, no beginning, no end.

Good luck with your healing, Kinsman.

The unfortunate truth is that we don't really know just what our ancestors thought about the Runes. So much has been lost and corrupted by our wonderful christinsane conquerors. Our earliest ancestors may have actually heard the Runes as "whispers" as their minds were not as fragmented as ours...

I have been openly Norse Heathen for 20+ years. I have never heard of Thurisaz being used for healing. The nearest thing I know of is Asator using His hammer to raise his goats from the dead. The energy of Thurisaz seems to me to be too overwhelming and violent, a thunderbolt, lightening...

Interesting. I've never heard of Odin and Prometheus being equated, before.

It's clearing congestion from your bronchial tubes and calming their spasms.

I have Reactive Airway Disease from inhaling forest fire smoke, very similar to asthma. I use Breath of Fire when my inhaler just isn't providing enough relief. I would recommend it. There are YouTube vids on technique.

I do sleep meditation almost every night. I listen to my own tracks, that I made, and that I know I want to manifest inside my unconscious. This is the main method I used to reform my inner self and I recommend it to all but BE SURE THE MATERIAL YOU TAKE IN IS OF YOUR OWN HAND AND YOU ABSOLUTELY...

This is a track I use for accessing the deeper unconscious. It will bring up some deeper content for inner work. It consists of layered dungeon-type sounds with a low-frequency entrainment, calming the left hemisphere to Delta while stimulating the right side to Theta which should produce some...

I use this track for meditation and shadow work. It's very deep and seems to call up unconscious content that you can work with. The entrainment is low frequency and dual hemisphere: left brain taken to low Delta, right side taken to Theta. This should result in good visuals, just let the...

These channels have excellent content for meditations... https://www.youtube.com/@TheMusashiPath https://www.youtube.com/@statueofwisdom

Absolutely! I am a huge follower of the teachings of Miyamoto Musashi. Total iron-willed Stoicism, Samurai style!

"Non-violence", much like gun control, is imposed from the top down. Example: In the UK subjects are basically disarmed and denied the right of self-defense, while the rich elite maintain armed protection teams for themselves. "Non-violence", "Gun control", "Don't take matters into your own...

Looks like Pandora, from Avatar.

As for supplements, I take Valerian and Melatonin every night. Works great.

I would argue that the vast majority of currently living humans are merely repeating humdrum lifetimes and not advancing in any meaningful way. As for me, I HOPE to the Gods I have raised in consciousness enough to move on. In a few more years I will know for certain...

I was specifically addressing the issue of a reluctance to experience another lifetime. There are a lot of questions about how it all occurs, which is why I speak of "Reincarnation-type phenomena". I don't think anyone knows for sure just how it happens or the mechanism.

I think that nearly everyone that ever arrived at the conclusion that rebirth and multiple lives are real has also, eventually, realized that is not necessarily a good thing. In the US, reincarnation became popular in the sixties, as an alternative to the Xtian psychopathic hell fantasies. Now...

This is a softer version of "Tavern", designed for sleeping, with the same Delta/Theta entrainment, less ambient innkeeper sounds, more desert wind and palm fronds.

I am very pleased!

You might like the one I just posted.

Any Conan fans here? I modeled this track on "Shadows in Zamboula", a small tavern in the desert. There is a very subtle entrainment embedded, slowing down the left hemisphere and exciting the right. I use similar tracks for sleep aids, as it really zonks me. In this one you hear the innkeeper...

Thanks. I thought I had to use zip. I'll try the next one as a straight MP3.

I will certainly post some more. Very pleased to get such a positive response!

Try this one...(y)

If you like I can do that.

This may not be everyone's cup of tea, and that's fine. I have noticed a lot of stress in the world, due to events, and I wanted to offer something to the community that I find useful. I make my own meditation tracks, been doing this for years, and something I find very relaxing are Nature...

Well, not really. This is just a great example of the mindset that opposes enlightened humanity. Looking forward to when sanity returns to the Earth.

Hail, the Trickster, in all His forms! Hail Great Pan!

Concur. The AI-worshippers would make a plastic blow-up sex doll look smart.

This is scary. This is the state of humanity in 2025, and it is sad and frightening. My view is that most humans at this time are on their first incarnation and have not developed the depth of soul memories that comes from multiple lifetimes of experience, and thus they are very vulnerable...

It's the complex information being communicated that amazes me.

Looking at this video from, I think, Norway, I've got to ask just how the hell do the whales know to come and do this? Do they text each other "Hey! Free barnacle removal!" How?

I do not understand this thread.

Followed you back!

My entire working life I have been law enforcement and military. I kept my hair in a very short crew cut. Now that I am retired, I have let my hair grow. I'm lucky that I still have thick hair that did not turn grey. My Norse and Celtic ancestors would shear the hair from criminals and cowards...

I have to admit to being addicted to coffee. About a pot each day, in the am. I, honestly, have not noticed any adverse reactions to caffeine.

I think bad dreams are an indicator of the need for relentless inner work. Remember, dreams are not literal, they are messages from your own unconscious, things that need attention. Repetitive nightmares are a good way to teach yourself to detach all emotion from these images and view them as...

I've trained Filipino Martial Art for about 30 years. As my body has aged, I find I can no longer train in hard style, survival type combat arts. I now follow the spiritual path of Japanese Kendo and Samurai philosophy. In training sword cuts, I focus on the concept of aiming the cuts at my own...

Well, not really. But you can easily make your own text, and, if it's not too personal, I can convert it to audio for you.

Well, maybe the rest of you do, but I would not mind more about her.

Is it possible to make a tribute page to HP Pythia? There is only one photo of her online, and that on an adversarial site. I for one would be interested in her story, a biography, anecdotes, etc. If there's resistance to this request, well, sorry, but I don't see why there would be. Anybody...

To everyone: If any of you would be interested in meditational tracks, of music, nature sounds, etc, with brainwave entrainment, I am able to make such and share.

OK, try this one...this is an ancient Orphic Hymn to Hercules I redid with a female voice. I just did this today, so I will be using it tonight. The female voice elicits a stronger response in males (Don't know if you are, but I am) so I am doing a lot of my meditations this way. I can tweak...

I'll see if I can post some audio files. Maybe nature backgrounds with brainwave entrainment? If I can figure out how to post :unsure:

I make my own meditation tracks, with subliminal and audible affirmations, mixed with nature sounds...i.e. jungle sounds, wolf howls, etc.

Absolute respect for your wife. I am a full-time caregiver for my wife, and I believe it to be a privilege to care for a sick/hurt spouse. You are both demonstrating the best characteristics of our Folk. Heal soon.

I have always seen myself as more a North European eclectic Pagan and Shaman. Over these past few years, though, the Greek Gods, most notably Hercules, have approached me for a closer relationship. I have had some very powerful dream-contacts with the Lion Skin Bearer. Athena was the Goddess...

Trying to grow beyond my usual flame-lit dungeons and Underworld excursions of most of my art. I thought we could all use some positive, cheerful energy from the Fey Folk. I'm thinking of a possible series along this line, if you guys like that sort of thing. I'll test the waters with this first...

Ravens are strongly associated with the Norse Allfather, Odin.

Been listening to a lot of Joseph Campbell lectures these past few days and I had a lucid dream last night. I was going down a winding staircase and suddenly I knew I was dreaming. I continued downward into the dark and felt very excited and positive. I threw this piece together this morning...

Very happy that I've helped you! Trauma memories are an interesting topic. A realization that has come to me recently is that all of my bad memories, abuses, ugly images, etc are actually a treasure trove of wisdom, and I will keep them with me, guarding them like a great source of power and...

Nursing my suck-ass chronic cervical pain, today. Woke up about 4am and started doing some 3D. This image came into my mind's eye. Hope you guys like it...

I have been Folkish Odinist for about 25 years. I have had several dreams of being hung, which was Odin's method of sacrifice, so I am pretty certain He has chosen me, for whatever reason. In the Eddas, Allfadir chooses his followers from two different strata of society: the Nobility and the...

Knocked out another little piece, this am. No title, just how I feel.

All I know is that I believe nothing coming from the face-anus of the US Government...

Got up early this am, due to my sinus issues, and started working on this piece, from an idea I had last night. This is "A Valkyries Death"...

I had a period of trouble with disturbing, unwanted thoughts that lasted about 4 years, brought on by my PTSD issues couples with very bad memories. The technique that worked for me was to not dwell on the thoughts and not oppose them, just watch from a detached state, no judgement or emotion...

This sounds like my own struggle with autism as a child and adult. I grew up in an autistic vacuum, totally unable to make human connections, immersing myself in a fantasy world. My first foray into adulthood was catastrophically traumatic, I'm still reeling. I have almost no memories of my...

I wish I could go back to powerlifting, but my damn C-spine is a wreck.

I'm getting more confident with new software. No real title, just a concept piece...

The Rune Dungeon looks exactly like a disco club I used to go to in Berlin!

Been thinking of the Horned Goddess. I just started modeling and rendering and painting and this is what came out. She is darkly erotic and powerful and here I have shown Her as She appears to the Hero seeking wisdom.

This isn't spiritual at all, but it is essential. This guy gives an excellent rundown of how to spot a psyop. Ane, as I am sure we all know, we are living in the Age of the Psyop. I offer this to help our people to navigate the perilous waters of the current world system. Stay strong and aware!

Dealing with chronic pain, today. Cervical spine pain and vertigo sucks. Still, I managed to do a little bit of art:

Totally concur. A man should leave home and start an independent life. Usually, there is some trauma. But as mentioned above, with time this can heal.

I do the initial work in Blender, on Cycles rendering. Then I import the render into Krita and Fotosketcher to finish. On some I also use ArtRage.

Hercules the Lionskin Wearer.

I do need to branch out and do something different. This series has mostly been about getting back into art and learning new software.

"...and the Goddess Mother of all Heroes, whispered in the darkness, only the fearless walk here."

Further refined the above piece...

Hercules emerging......

Thank you very much! I really don't need the money, but any image I post is given to the community. Feel free to use them to advance our cause. I am thinking of a graphic novel type meditation aid.

The Goddess at the Well of Souls

The Way of Light, the Hero follows to find Wisdom...

Next in my Underworld series: "The Soul Guide".

"I think we're lost..."

Experimenting with different rendering and compositing techniques. Same basic scene, going for an underworld, journey to Hel type motif. I would say that if I had to name a goal for all this it would be to have a final painting that was, in and of itself, a meditation and a ritual piece...

Thank you!

Thank you!

Thank you, my friend!

"This way, Hercules..."

Further refining the scene of Hercules:

I know what you ladies are saying: "But Rodulf, ya'll just showing us Hercules big ole muscular self on His journey! What about the rest of humanity, the female half? Don't women journey to the otherworld, too?" And the answer is ...Hel yes! There are stories of women heroines making the...

That's it, exactly.

This is a YouTube channel with several professionally made audio meditation tracks. For pain and anxiety try the Delta frequencies. For binaural tones you need to use headphones or ear buds. Just download the track to your phone and kick back. https://www.youtube.com/@ThePowerOfYou

I want to thank everyone for showing some appreciation for my art. I am meeting some really great people on this forum!

I am a retired Corrections Officer and have responded to a lot of emergencies involving mentally ill inmates, mostly psychotic episodes, i.e. schizophrenia. What you described is definitely not psychosis. Honestly, don't worry, you are just scaring yourself. Definitely discuss this with a...

Another view of Hercules descending into the Underworld.

"Bravely he slashes, Odins red letters, Blood Runes of Heroes, into breast and arm" The double Tiwaz run, called the "Geirsod", Spear marking Odins hero, dedicating himself to Allfather, by cutting into his flesh, a self-sacrifice giving himself to Odin. Done to summon the Fierce Maidens, the...

P.S. if you need help in selecting a meditation audio download, let me know.

Well, I just turned 69 today and I am living with chronic pain from cervical spine injuries in the military. I have good days and bad days. To cope, I use brainwave entrainment and meditations. You can find some really good ones on YouTube, just download them. CBD oil is useful to calm down. I...

Thank you, very much!

Thank you!

After a few years hiatus, I am again doing digital art. I've been thinking about a series based on the mythology of Heracles on His hero quest to the underworld. As you can probably tell, I like dark, somber scenes with lots of mood. If you guys like this I might be motivated to do a series...

Fast approaching the end of this lifetime. I have made friends with my sister, Death. I will arrive at the end with no regrets, and, perhaps, the kind of honor that will win me a place in the Halls of the Gods.

Well, as far as "moral rules" goes, I only look to natural law as a guide and the code I live by. Right action is easily established by putting yourself in another's place. Knowing wrongful action is the wisdom that comes from having endured abuses your own self, so now you know what not to do.

This is why we have multiple lives. Enlightenment is an individual path, we have to walk it alone, through many lifetimes.

Not trying to downplay the seriousness of this, but a diagnosis of cancer is not, necessarily, a guarantee of death. Modern medicine can do some miraculous things. I don't want to be flippant, but now is the time to tell him you love him and be the best son/daughter you can be. Hopefully, you...

I am a huge Robert E. Howard fan, and this is my favorite Conan tale, in a very well-read audiobook. Original, uncensored Howard at his best! This is "Shadows in Zamboula":

...is HPS Pythia still around? Does she still post? This is just a curiosity question, no disrespect.

Most important thing, concerning negative dreams...never back down. Go forward, towards whatever is frightening you. Actively challenge it to combat. All these negative beings are just parts of your own self, needing to be overcome and understood to be assimilated.

The Soul-Guide will take him to the Ancestors. Whether to the Halls of the Gods, or to wait for reincarnation in the Realm of Mother Hel, all is well.

It was a Samurai saying, "No Samurai can be great until he has had at least seven great failures". We "fail" our way to success...

I can strongly vouch for that...

Seeking to break all chains from the past.

Concerning energy meditation I can highly recommend "Seidways" by Jan Fries. This is a study of shaking, vibrating and quaking with internal energy. I began doing this a few years ago and the results are fantastic. One can vibrate gently, with slowly surging waves of energy or take it up to...

What is your diet like? Are you consuming soy or other estrogenic foods?

Just completed my yearly ritual of walking fire around our house, property and vehicles as I invoke the Great Mother and the Gods. I have copied this from the first Icelandic settlers who would claim their land by walking with fire and invoking Thor. I have asked that we have a year of healing...

Interesting that the Northwest US calender has Oct 1st as "Independence"...that's my retirement date. Independent I will be!
