My Runes/Poetry Course Starts Tomorrow!

If you’re the sort who likes waiting until the last minute, then now’s the time, because the last minute has arrived!

Tomorrow morning (that is, Wednesday at 800am), my online course in rune-writing and simple alliterative poetry starts. It’s called “Sacred English,” and with the combined powers of runes and poetry, you can make your English magical.

Join the American Futharch Revolution, and learn to write runes the way the ancient runemasters wrote them, and with the traditional poetic key.

In Hávamál 144, Odin challenges us to know how to write and read the runes. Are you ready to answer that challenge in the most authentic way possible in over a thousand years?

Not sure if you’ve got the time? After all, it is a cohort-course with a schedule to it. But as part of that, you’ll get plenty of my time—I’ll review the exercises, answer your questions, and prepare the four review lessons based on how the students are doing with the material. That could even include me creating additional teaching materials to address specific needs. It’s a unique opportunity to pick my brain on all this.

And everything will be pre-recorded, so you can fit it in your schedule however you like. Not to mention that you’ll also get to keep a large amount of videos, slides, audio, and guidebooks from the course.

The Flow of Nine Worlds

This month’s poem is a look at the world tree and its worlds, from metaphysical perspective as to what the worlds are, and what they might mean for us as human beings today.


The Flow of Nine Worlds

All was Yggdrasil to the ancient Norse,
a fathomless Tree that framed the worlds,
nine in number, into a united whole.
Ginnungagap, a great emptiness,
was there in the beginning and there alone.
Still it’d have stayed, but there started a flow,
the first of flows, which formed the worlds.
Ice upwelling from the outer North
met fire flaming from the farthest South,
and a hailstone was made in the heart of it all,

Eagle’s Mead: Now Available!

Eagle’s Mead:
Initiatory Poetry and Prose

Skaldic Eagle Press
xvi, 302 pages

Today, as heathens celebrate Ostara, the goddess of the dawn, on the spring equinox, my other book of poetry has finally arrived! Most of its content has never appeared on my blog or anywhere else. Now available in hardcover only. The official publication date is March 20, 2019.

This is a book for initiates, magicians, occultists, esotericists, sages, heathen prophets, and other travelers of the hidden realms, one that will not be understood by others.

To find it, either this IndieBound linkAmazon link, or Barnes & Noble link will take you to the casewrap hardcover edition, where it is now available.

Various other Amazon country-sites have it listed also. However, many of the non-U.S. Amazon sites are showing things like “Temporarily out of stock” or “Usually dispatched within 1 to 3 months.” Unfortunately, this seems to be the norm with Amazon and print-on-demand hardcovers. The book should print when you order it. Some Amazon sites show these statuses for the hardcover of my first book, even when it’s been available without interruption or changes since July 2017! In any case, rest assured that the book indeed is now released, whatever status the sites may be showing.

For further details, including a brief table of contents, see my Press / Books page.

Wassail!
