To me, it felt like a moment of closure, but also of clarity. It reminded me that we live in a dual world, in nature, but also within ourselves. Light and darkness, movement and stillness, it all belongs. From the universe, or the cosmos, I once again received beautiful wisdom. Something I wanted to write down for myself, simply to hold onto it. What touched me most was the parallel I saw between my son, one year and three months old, and my own spiritual journey. They began around the same time. He is still discovering the world. He can already walk, but he still wobbles, loses his balance sometimes, and falls straight onto his little bottom. And in that, I recognize myself. On my spiritual path, I am becoming more aware of what I do not know. I stumble, I fail, I try, and each time I get back up. With curiosity, with wonder. There is still so much to discover. That duality lives within us. Nature shows us this constantly. There are phases of growth and letting go, of action and rest. We will never live in a permanent, heaven-like state here, probably not even after death. That is not a flaw, it is simply part of existence. And that realization calls us back into the present moment. This is not an insight reserved only for Buddhism, it is universal. It teaches us that difficult things pass. And from that knowing, we can draw strength and courage. It asks us to stand strong, to not run when things get hard, but to remain still within the fire. Because it is there, in the fire, that we learn the most. And in the end, we are sometimes given something extra. A quiet invitation to reconnect with living energy itself. With what connects everything. With the knowing that all is one, and that we are part of it. https://ingwine.org/activity/p/1364/ Mon, 02 Feb 2026 13:49:32 -0700

Our soul is fluid, born from the same current as water, wind, and the wild creatures that move freely across the land. The world demands that we be flexible, ever reshaped to fit new forms, neatly contained within walls that promise safety. Yet deep within, we feel that this safety stiffens the body and silences the spirit. The true path is not one of control, but of fluid existence. Just as the night has no fixed lines and nature never walks in straight paths, our lives are meant to dance with the unexpected. Fluidity means staying true to ourselves while bending with the storm, not breaking when the wind shifts, but revealing our strength through motion. When we dare to move without fear of what lies ahead, a world of magic unfolds. Animals respond to our voices, spirits illuminate our path, and a deep connection awakens with the land that carries us. The call of the shaman and the witch does not arise from copying rituals or chasing titles, but from the courage to embrace chaos and find meaning within it. Uncertainty is not an enemy; it is proof that life still stirs within us. Choose the fluid path. Let tension melt into the earth, and let your voice merge with the wind. Every step taken in true fluidity breaks an old wall and opens a new stream of possibility. You are not a prisoner of predictability. You are a being in motion, energy unfolding, forever becoming who you have always been. Dare to flow. Dare to change. Dare to live like water.

A fun way of living heathenry is to leave visible markers on sacred places. Ofcourse we do this with all respects for the local circumstances. No damaging, no polluting. Such signs will bring awareness to people, show heathenry is alive and other heathens may be inspired or may want to find out why that place is marked or who is doing it. Sparking…Read More

Hermes and Another Balder Analogue?

While preparing to actually write down some of my thoughts around Odin’s brothers Vili and Ve, I have been looking at other related IE Gods and Goddesses. Of course, Hermes must be in that list. I found a rather interesting bit about Hermes son, Cephalus:

I just harvested some wild-growing grass grains and bound them with a grass stem cord. It’s not exactly the same as a bound sheaf of cereal grains, but I think it still works symbolically.

This is from a Baltic ceremony, but is interesting nevertheless.

Gerd is in this picture 😉 Can you spot her?

In Baltic languages this site, or the idols can referred to as “alkas” or “elks.” These words are directly cognate with Old English “ealh” which is glossed by Aldheim as a pagan temple.

Let me start by introducing myself.
My name is Hirut, and I’m a 32-year-old Flemish man. My father is a farmer—the fourth generation in our family. Although I don’t yet know where life will take me or whether I’ll one day take over the farm, both personal and family questions still remain. Still, over the past year, I’ve learned to combine m…Read More

Second edition of this modern translation of Bede’s “Reckoning of Time.” Comes out March 2025. Kind of pricey, but it is an important source and it is a fascinating read.
