Are you feeding your soul what it needs?

In our courses and in our book “Runes: The Secret Healer”, we talk about how vital it is to understand and give your soul what it NEEDS in order to gain healing, self-empowerment, and spiritual evolution.

We emphasize the word NEEDS because, in our society, we often confuse what we WANT with what we NEED. So we end up running around trying to fulfill our wants, but we never really progress or feel any happier, because we never gave ourselves what we actually NEEDED. Our needs, especially our SOUL needs, are vastly more important than our wants.

This can be a hard concept for people to truly understand, especially when it comes to knowing the difference between a want and a need. That’s why we highly recommend watching this great episode of The Twilight Zone called “What You Need”. It illustrates the idea perfectly in a really cool way!

You can watch it in the pinned comment below, and tell us what you think!

One of Odin's many names in Old Norse is "Runni vagna", which translates as "Mover of Constellations".

Never compare yourself to others, or seek to be equal with others. We each have our own unique fate and spiritual path, given to us by the Norns (the ancient goddesses of Fate in Norse paganism, equivalent to the Moirai or Fates of Ancient Greece) at our birth.

To truly respect and honour ourselves, we must also accept and honour what the Norns have chosen for us. We do this by being true and authentic to who we are. Not by trying to be something we are not.

Wow! An ancient Old English Anglo-Saxon healing recipe has been discovered to be more powerful than modern antibiotics! Once again the old ways have proved themselves right! 😲

A 1,000-year-old onion and garlic remedy just beat modern antibiotics in the lab.
A medieval medical recipe has stunned scientists with its ability to kill antibiotic-resistant bacteria.
Known as "Bald's eye salve," the 1,000-year-old remedy combines garlic, onion, wine, and cow stomach extracts.
Originally found in an Anglo-Saxon text called Bald’s Leechbook, the mixture was tested by researchers at the University of Nottingham and was found to eliminate up to 90% of MRSA—one of the most dangerous superbugs—in lab and animal models.
What’s more remarkable is that none of the ingredients worked individually; only the complete, faithfully reconstructed mixture showed this potent antibacterial effect. The ancient remedy proved more effective than modern antibiotics, even against biofilms—dense bacterial colonies that are notoriously hard to treat. While scientists are still working to understand exactly how it works, the discovery opens new doors in the fight against antibiotic resistance, a global threat projected to cause 300 million deaths by 2050.

📖 Sometimes, history has the answers science is still looking for.

Poetry and music were not just important pastimes in the Old Norse pagan religion, they were holy and sacred! (especially lyre music). They were said to be gifts from Odin himself. In fact all the major Old Nordic and Old English myths and epics, such as the Norse myths found in the Poetic Edda and Old English Beowulf were written as poems and intended to be sung!!

But often pop culture's ideas about how ancient music sounded and the historical reality can be quite different! 😂 The below video is of a great singer singing an ancient poem in the original Old English language, (a language that was much closer to Old Norse and German than English is today). It's a great insight into how the Norse myths were originally intended to be heard and sung, and how much more beautiful Viking music was than most probably imagine!

Find the link to the video in the comment section bellow! Tell us what you think!

Unlike in Christianity. In many Shamanic and ancient European Pagan societies, such as the Norse and the Celts. Fire is not seen as evil. Instead, fire is often associated with holiness, healing, purity, the gods and connection to the spirit realm, and more. Hence why this traditional Islamic Sufi dance, has been given a new, pre-Islamic Zoroastrian flare!

We’re constantly told to seek advice from experts, books, or gurus.

But the most trustworthy guidance comes from the divine voice within.

In our courses, we say this again and again.
The gods don’t just speak to us in dreams or rituals

They’re always speaking. We just have to be quiet enough to listen.

We believe that every great healing journey starts with a single step… and that step is more cheesecake 😎

Hope you’ve all had a great Halloween!! Or “Álfablót” as the Vikings called it. A celebration of the holy ancestral spirits that we call in English, Elves. When the veil between the human world and the spirit world is at its thinnest.

We have long advocated the spiritual benefits of eating cheesecake! It should be a staple of any pagan diet and will make your children grow big and strong! 😂😂
