An impossibly calm and soft blue sky - helicopters that should have roared and beat the air relentlessly... all of it drowned by the hostility of the bright light. The greenery was more alive, vibrant, and angry. The weathered pale stone of the mountain ridges gave wide birth for our landing, not far from our targeted building. It was old... abandoned years ago for a building that should have existed in the present time. I lost track of the others who landed with me not terribly long after getting inside, which seemed a feat considering it was so small. Through the cracks of the walls and the cieling, that hostile white light bore into my eyes. I could hear the local insects and almost feel how agitated they were through the building, so covered in moss and ivy as it was.
Beyond the first hallway and the local wildlife seemed to calm down. My senses dulled as I grew more comfortable in this long forgotten structure - like I was supposed to be there all along, as if no one left it.
Just some tidying up by condensing earlier half-thoughts and to-do's.
Rokkatru
Fire Giants & Healing
Healing through fire in the lens of Rokkatru.
Elves in History
A look at the recorded origins of elves in Germanic regions, as well as to surroundings spirits in relation to them. First stop: Iceland
Jormungandr
First mentioning where he is referenced and then going onto UPG and SPG.
Vaettir & Bloodlines
A look at modern and historical beliefs of humans who are spiritually inclined to certain races of Vaettir.
Altered States of Consciousness
Vardlokkur
How song can affect spirit work by sharing my experiences.
My Gangr
What I call Ulfgangr - sharing personal experience and offering the chance for others to share theirs.
Sill's Soul Sprigs
Continuing on a practice set down by Sill, I'll be explaining how I was introduced and how I have kept it going.
Unhinging
A personal altered state involving the uproot of "base" consciousness from physical to etheric - will likely be written after cosmological models are explained.
The Physicality of Trance
Taking a look at the brainwave states that occur in cycles we experience everyday, what altered states of consciousness are associated with each brainwave state, and a basic look of how to begin inducing altered states.
Visioncrafting Sigils
First taking a look at what types of visions there are, how they are physically produced in the brain (as far as I currently understand), how they relate to spirituality, how to develop them, and how I develop sigils with visions.
Dream Reentry
Beginning with basic tips on recalling dreams and how to enter basic altered states in order to "reenter" a dream in a waking state via trance. It offers a more conscious and streamlined way of interacting with different aspects and explore further what one might not have been able to while dreaming.
Soulwork & Seidr
I would like to build references before I write this, but it is a look into a personal practice involving concepts touched upon in lore.
Subtle Body Modifications
First exploring Subtle Body Theory, then a little bit about each of the "bodies" in Norse lore as well as Western Occultism - ultimately talking about how our energies can be affected and influenced to the point of altering our subtle bodies.
Developing Sensations
A look at how we can experience mental echoes of physical sensations and how we can use that in magical practice. Otherwise known as how to sense energy and direct its flow and how that happens in the brain.
Mentality
Mental Illness & Magic
A personal look at how mental illnesses can affect magical practice. Not a medical source or a claimed cure.
How We Use Threads
A look at what the common types of threads are and how we can expand and develop interaction via them.
Breaking Down "Universal"
Aimed at breaking down preconceived notions of what is truly universal and what is sourced bias - then taking an umbrella look at all practices and beliefs beyond science.
Cosmological Models
A look at reality through my understanding of personal experience and historical terminology - it is the basis of many of my beliefs and practices and I'll invite others to share their understanding of realities.
Add "Critiques" section to the Keep in Mind section of Grimoire Submissions.
Write thread introducing planes of existence and related theories, then branch off threads of each theory as it ties into other aspects of cosmological structure.
