1.PATHEONS NORSE TRADITION
A.scandanavia,northern Germany,northern France,most of the British Isles,North America,and parts of the Mediterranean.As explorers,warriors,wanders the worshipers of Vanir and the Aesir the Asa-gods there ability to leave there mark on every culture they encountered and there ability
to take from other cultures and add it to there own without ever loseing there own styles and histroy was unrivield in early times.Theres was the first where woman held positions of respect unlike many others in there day.Even before christian influnces they had the concepts of Ragnarok and a afterlife.
B.To be quite honest ive never delvied much in to the early history of the norse homeland.Much of what i now comes from a early love of maritime histroy of tall ships which lead me to the histroy of these northern german ancestors.
Undoubtably there choice to settle in the harsh northlands of the world helped to shape there spiritual concepts into what we know them as today.And even today the bloodlines of these warriors can be seen in every culture around the world today.

Strong magick to bind and chasten.
I lift my sword to repel all attackers.
Beware foul troublemakers!
For freyja whispers her spells in my ear.
Freyja,Queen of the Valkyries,stands at my side.
3.Modern Relativity
A.Cultraly:To be quite honest before this paper this is something i never gave any thought to.But the more i learn and deilve in to this path the more i see that there mark has been left thru out the world thru there bloodlines ,belifes,there cultureand in many ways that I am un able to express in words at this time.It is my hope as i learn more and walk on this path if it is mine to walk to come back to this lesson and add that what has been shown to me and what i have learned of this path.
4.approachability
A.For me the drawing to this tradition seems to be a natrual progression of my studys and my awe of the Mystic warriors.Other the red road shamanism I have yet on my personal journay found anything that matches these great Wolf-Warriors as they where called.Maybe its a long forgotton call of my heritage that as been over looked for so long.I at this time can not say I can only hope to find the answers at the end.
B.It is in my opinon that the world as a hole can refind there sense of respect and understanding of that which is to come.To once again respect all races and cultures even those that are not agreed with,But can be shown equal respect.And learned upon.

I have always been awed by dreams and the quest to understand them.Now that I am learning more of how to read my dreams I thought this was a good time to keep a log of them.
1.(childhood dream that followed me in to my adulthood last time I had this one was 4years ago when I found my path).Starts with me wondering around in the dark till I see a light that im drawn to.The light turns out to be a fire upon which sits a cauldron.Around it stands 3 witchs.No words are said just a felling of pure peace and content.This is a short and simple dream that ive had over and over and over but the meaning behind it isnt as simple as the dream itself is.Here I present my interpretion of this dream.
A.the symbolic meaning of 3 in any form is past,present and future.Begaining,middle,and end.
B.The cauldron is a symbol of rebirth.And a change of path.
C.witch is a symbol of the occult/supernatrual.
So what does this dream mean to me it was my way of saying hello its time to wake up and get on your path that has always been my path of choice.Also i belive it to have been a reminder of my past selfs trying to make me rember.But I wouldnt listen till it was time.Also explaned to me why I saw,heard and could feel things others could not.
The old house:this dream has had many variations way to many to list but its always the house i grew up in here in St.Pete,in one its totaly just a shell,another the interior is piled high with junk.In one it even has a basement instead of a attic odd.
The tar balls: Another in the house that i grew up in started when i was a child.In this
one the old house is just the way I rember it.And my foster grandmother is there as well and she is fighting me.Verbaly then she starts throwing these odd lil black tar balls at me till im totaly over whelmed by them.These dream is neat into its self for the fact that theres this odd ringing noise in it every time also all the sounds and smells are there as well.
The graves:This is another dream that has diffrent variations but is almost always the same.In it I go to this grave yard.And there are groundskeepers busy at work.I always go in to the chaple on the grounds looking for my foster grandmothers grave that i can never bring myself to look at.There is always the strong sense of fear.in One varient the grave is in the chaple in another its out one the ground in the one where the grave is in the grounds there digging it up and in this one when i look its me in the grave.
The train:This one i get on a train that goes thru endless feilds.And at some point goes up a hill that gives you the feeling of falling backwards then the feeling of falling as it goes down the other side.I have also had this dream where instead of a train im in a car going across the skyway bridge when i get on the bridge the car is gone and im walking across the bridge but cant get up the hump of the bridge.
5/04:had a odd dream I was back in the house from my childhood.And i was getting ready to go to work or the firing range.And was inspecting one of my revolvers.When I got something moveing out of the corner of my eye walking in the yard next door.When I look out to see what it is it turns out to be 2 skeletons walking up the driveway towards the front door.Where one punchs thru the glass on the door.And then i woke up.
5/6/07:past few nights have been quite lastnight I woke up after the first dream.Another in my old house.In this one there are pepole that i feel that I know but dont regonize them and there all liveing there.The inside of the house is oddly huge and the upstairs is in disarray and not the same house.Me and another person wind up upstairs and are casting protection spells that can be seen as pure white light envolopeing the entire house and everyone in it.Theres a strong sense of fear but from what i dont know.WOKE UP.
HAHAHA the second one lastnight was funny think shnen sent it to me lol.In this one I was in the park downtown where our bus line starts and stops (bum haven).When I cross the park to get to the west side of the park I wound up in CANADA where there where signs stateing parking for U.S. only.Then I tried to sit on the sidewalk to figure this out when a man on a red lark type scooter asked me directions that I couldnt tell him.lucky for him there was someone there that could lol.Then while standing there along comes a couple who stop to wait on a bus.The one woman in this group is oddly familer tho I cant place her.this causes me to run across the street barefoot in to a mall.where I wind up in a pizza place full of drunks and a marylin monroe looking person who turns out to be and stated quite loudly the where a drag queen.While they where on a phone that was connected to a keyboard?And it wasnt a cell phone it was a old style phone recever.And well thats when i woke up and wrote this down LMAO.

5/26/04-Well it was my first try at a guided meditation today.and it didnt go very well i have always taken my meditations very personal.And never tried a guided meditation.But since this was one of my many lessons and i finally had time to myself to do it i did it.I tried a guided
video meditation called the pink sand medicaine wheel.And well i found myself more or less watching the video then meditating.And got really mad at myself for that but i also tried the 3minute breather and that went very well.The 3 min is a very relaxing and great energy recharge from my expierince with it this time then that could be because ive been burning the candle at both ends as of late and havent taken any me time.But along with a sensation of warmth and total recharge it ws a very good experiance to say the least even tho it wasnt what i was expecting but then we only get what we need not what we want.
6/4/04:Well i got another day to myself and tried to do some more meditation this time on my own with what i have been taught in the past few years.And well i had the strangest experience with it.It started out like any other meditation.I inhaled the light and exhaled the egitives that where bothering me till I was totaly relaxed
then I started my backwards regresion letting go of all those things in my life that I saw as negetives and things that needed to be solved and finalized.I went from today to my youth.And finaly started to concentrate and what was before that.When i heard,and felt something hit me on the back of my head and then i felt myself falling.That for lack of better words scared the shit out of me and brought me out of my state.Now im trying to figure out what i did wrong if anything our was this just something i wasnt redy to accepet?

A WITCH`S BOOK OF DIVINATION BY CALLIA UNDERHILL first edition first print 1996 LLEWELLYN WORLDWIDE.
Ok as i started this book i have to admit i was not to thrilled with its start.But as i started to progress within it i found yet again another wounderful source of information.And some new freash ideas to me.The book only covers 9 types of divination.That in my opinion could have been put in less catagorys.As i look at them as 3 types of divination,stones,trance,and omens.Sleep being under the trance catagory.In the course of my study these 3 types have always semed to be comman in all magickal systems.The most intreiging to me is the systems of runes and geomancy.And this book covers both fairly well only lacking in my opinion in the fact that the futharks arnt covered more in detail.Being as i have a stronge pull towards theses.As well i found the fact that some other comman types where not even touched upon.Such as the tarot,palm reading,tea leaves,scyrying etc.But i will admit the runes that are touched on are a wounderful freash idea that i admit have never heard of and are really wounderfuly simple anyone new to the path who wishes to learn divinations as part of there practice as well as those who have been on the path for awhile can both find a fun and easy way of reading runes.Or more acurettly casting of runes or stones.In short I have found 3 styles from these in which i chose to use for this lesson.The first is a very simple type called geomancy which use patterns of one and two dots to form a series of figures known as the mothers,daughters,left and right wittnesses and the judge to determine the answers to high detailed and or complex questions.The forms are compied by simple casting of a two sided stone called a witchs stone marked with a sun and moon on the reverse.Sun being one dot and the moon being two dots.the casting is done in four sets of four makeing up the head ,neck,body,and feet of the first mother through the fourth mother.Then its farily simple process of adding the diffrent parts of the mothers to determine the number of dots to make up the daughters.heads to heads necks to necks etc.Then this is repeated till finaly you have the judge and your answer to your question.The second I have chosen is the talking stones a simple homemade set of runes with a qurrent stone which is placed with in a circle and then the thirteen stones are cast in to the circle and read by which is closest to the querrent stone as being what will effect the question in the short term or first and the reading the rest in order of distence from the qurrent for the final answer to the question.The third style i chose is the druids wand.This to me is more of a means to tell if the time is right for a desired outcome.It works by mesureing the distence of the moon from the polar star(polarus).With a wand that is 20 and 4/5`s inches long with one end painted black and the other painted red these are done in 2/5ths inches then the wand is divided into 20 one inch sections within which is inscribed the sigils of the druids alphabet known as the coelbren of the bards which is of celtic origans.(another neat new fact i learned from reading this book)Also inclued in this book is the how toos of createing you divination tools used in these practices as well as the blessing rituals that are used before useing your new tools to divine with.These can all be altered to fit you style and path.With the exeption of the druids wand to me.If in fact these is a genuine druid method that is a age held tradition i see that changeing this one would be disrespectful of these ancient time honered tradition.But if after studing these type of divination and i find that simular styles where used by other then the celtic druids the i will retract my statement.But if this is the case it would still be more honerable to construct and follow the rites of this style tool and any other style tool of ancient design by doing them in the way of there culture of origan.Now comes the task of making my new tools and starting the task of casting with these new styles and learning there heart songs to me.My results will be posted in another entry as these will take sometime to construct and learn.
