#And a Norse protection amulet
Explore tagged Tumblr posts
Text
My mom gave me a book, 'Return of the Gods' by Jonathan Cahn to 'teach me the truth about pagan gods' since I got angry at her for calling gods outside of Christianity 'demons' and I've been angry at it since then.
I've only looked at the reviews for it because I'm not reading that and it apparently compares Stonewall and Pride stuff to the worship of Ishtar, and I so badly want to text her something like 'well according to that book I'm apparently an Ishtar worshipper'
#I will not because ignoring her is more effective and sanity-saving#I have a book about the magic of the Norse/Elder Futhark Runes that I want to read around her next time I visit#or my copy of the poetic edda#And a Norse protection amulet#I might currently be Christian but if my mom keeps this up I'm joining the vikings#Religion bullshit#(Also just to be clear I am full aware that Ishtar is Mesopotamian not Norse#The Norse stuff is just the one I like and vibe with the most of all the 'religions that would piss my mom off' that I know)

The hammer of Thórr is not a symbol of violence, but an amulet which we, as norse pagans, can turn to for protection and comfort. It is a symbol of our faith, but it is not a symbol of hate. It never was and it never will be. Thórr as deity and as mythological figure has never represented any sort of “model” for masculinity. And no, his myths have never made him into a misogynist or a racist figure. Search all you want, his myth has never condoned discrimination. Therefore, it is not to be used as a means of glorifying one’s discriminatory political standpoints. The hammer we wear around our necks is a symbol of faith and protection, and nothing more. Let us tolerate no hate within heathen circles.

Why lilith is not a feminist icon
Even if I consider Lilith a fascinating character at the level of stories, I must admit that the way in which they have deformed a "feminist icon" makes me quite angry because she is the complete opposite of a feminist in all the stories she appears in.
Lilith is the mother of lies, the one who generates inhuman labor pains in women (for her sadistic enjoyment) and who even came to eat babies who only were safe from her clutches using special amulets, she is never shown as a good person or like a loving mother, we are only shown a capricious woman who does not like that God/Adam does not fulfill her wishes and decides to curse humanity out of pure resentment.
Lilith is a sinister woman, and that's why I love her, she represents the darkest side of femininity and is the perfect opposite of Eve in the same way that Lucifer is the perfect opposite of Adam, but it irritates me a lot that they make her a feminist just because she's a "rebel" when her actions against women are horrible.
Do you know who are true feminist icons?
1)aradia: from Italian folklore, aradia is the mother of magic and mother of witches, who taught magic to women to defend themselves from the church, she instructed these women at a time when they needed protection, plus she was also Known as "the freer of slaves" since one of her offerings was the liberation of these people, an idol and true girls girl.
2)artemis: even is she has some moments where we could consider her volatile she protects the women and nymphs under her care, in some myths she turned calysto into a bear to PROTECT her from hera's wrath and was FURIOUS with her for calysto's death, she also saved iphigenie from being sacrificed in some versions of her myth and even make her a priestess! She is a protector.
3)Isis:a powerful Egyptian goddess who was worshipped as the ideal mother and wife, but also a magician, healer, and protector. She was one of the most important deities in the ancient Egyptian pantheon and one of the best mothers!
4)Inanna,the Sumerian goddess of love, beauty, sex, desire, fertility, war, justice, and political power. She was one of the most prominent and complex female deities in Mesopotamian mythology.
5)Freyja:the Norse goddess of love, beauty, fertility, gold, magic , war, and death, She was an independent and powerful figure who commanded great respect.
6)Parvati - the Hindu goddess of fertility, love, and devotion. She was a strong-willed partner to the god Shiva and played an important role in Hindu mythology.
In conclusion: lilith is not a good example of what feminism means, there's goddess and figures that really should be more known as feminist icons instead of characters like lilith, circe or medea, they're not worthy of being called "feminist" just for being morally gray or for being what people considers as "girlbosses".

RUNESTONE OF MEMORY
By: PatrickBoullier [DeviantArt]
A representation of the cosmos as described in Old Norse sources such as the Poetic Edda and the Prose Edda.
The inside of the piece shows Yggdrasil, the famous "The World Tree." Along with some of its inhabitants, the tree contains the nine worlds accompanied by portrayals of a number of Old Norse mythological characters and stories.
Immediately outside the circular border are depictions of Ragnarok, "The Twilight of the Gods". The stylisation change from the inside of the piece meant to mirror the designs found on carvings from the middle ages (9th - 11 century) such as The Gosforth Cross and The Ramsund Carving.
The outer border of the artwork is inspired by the runic inscription of protection from the Kvinneby amulet (11th - 12th century), particularly the final line: "The gods are under him and over him".

A symbol is an image or object which represents an abstract concept, often having to do with one's religious beliefs. Every civilization, from the most ancient to the present, has made use of symbols to make the abstract concrete and visible and to provide assurance that a higher power was interested in, and sympathetic towards, the struggles of human beings.
The symbols used in Norse mythology had to do not only with supernatural entities but also with the challenges of everyday life and the mystery of what awaited after death. Some of these symbols can definitely be dated to the Viking Age (c. 790 - c. 1100 CE) but were no doubt in use much earlier. Other symbols seem to have developed later (between c. 1100 - c. 1300) after Christianity had established itself in Scandinavia.
There were many powerful symbols from the Norse-Viking period ranging from the wolf (for protection), to the horse (protection in travel), the troll cross (an amulet that protected one from trolls), the image of the Vegvisir ('way guide', a late Icelandic symbol which helped one find one's way) and the Web of Wyrd (web of fate), as well as the runes which were thought to evoke mystical powers. Generally, however, ten symbols were the most popular; these appear most often in stories, images, and as amulets:
Yggdrasil – the World Tree
The Valknut – Odin's Knot
The Swastika/Sun-Wheel
The Aegishjalmur – Helm of Awe
Mjolnir – Thor's Hammer
The Sventhorn – Sleep Thorn
Gungnir – Odin's Spear
The Ship
Huginn and Muninn – Odin's Ravens
The Triskelion – Odin's Horns

Norse Rune Meanings: 5 Essential Runes for Witches
For centuries, Norse runes have been present in the life of Germanic peoples and pagan witches. There are diverse stories about how they came to be: some believe that it was Odin who created them after having an epiphany, some others say that these symbols pre-date humanity, and from these derived many other theories and hypotheses. If you’re interested in reading further on runes, don’t miss out on our posts about Mythology and Background of Norse Runes and Havi, the Father Deity in Norse Mythology.
No matter which version you decide to take in, what everyone can agree on is that runes are an ancient endless source of knowledge that, like Tarot, can help us tap into the secrets of the Universe. Actually, the word “rune” has its origins in the Norse word runa, meaning “whisper” or “secret”1. Moreover, author Lisa Chamberlain adds that the etymology of the rowan tree also has its roots in the word runa, as this sacred and magical tree is known for providing protection.
Before they were used as a linguistic system in ancient Germanic culture, Norse runes ―also called the Futhark alphabet― were used as symbols of power. It is said that warrior Vikings would carve runes (or a runic formula) in their weapons and shields so as to attract their energy and welcome success in battle. Furthermore, in the sagas, runic inscriptions were presumed to aid in predicting the future, protection, and infusing an object or a person with health or good fortune. Other uses include incantations, spells, curses, divination, talismans, rune yoga, and more.
In this post, I’ll be diving a bit deeper into the magical aspect of runes, that is, I’ll be exploring which runes are somehow related to witchcraft, in what way they are important for practitioners, and how they can use them in their practice.
Gifu (also Gebo or Gytu)
This rune means “gift” and “generosity”. It represents the feeling of gratitude and joy when receiving an unexpected gift or blessing. Along those lines, it can be a message from the Divine. Moreover, Gifu can be interpreted as the sensation of discovering something unique and wholesome, as if saying “Eureka!” It is also said that this rune aids in boosting your natural talents (gifts) or in making hidden skills come to light. Whenever you want to attract something, Gifu is your go-to. If you’re just starting in your practice, this rune is perfect to help you find your way and your talents. It’s the cross that shows where to find the treasure on a map. You can draw Gifu on a piece of paper and stick it to the sole of your shoes (or even paint it on your feet) in a symbolic way of having it lead your spiritual path. You can also stick it to your mirror as a reminder to thank the Universe for all the good things it has provided you with.
Wunjo (also Wyn)
This is the rune of happiness and harmonic bliss. Tune into the power of Wunjo whenever you have a project that you need to go well, as this symbol is associated with a positive state of mind which will result in attracting a positive outcome in life. It also calls for happy relationships and a harmonious environment, assisting in making sure that everything runs smoothly and collaboratively. In its magical aspect, Wunjo helps you raise your vibration and be more attuned with the Universe and the Divine. Draw this rune on your body with your finger (or a pen, if you want) whenever you feel stressed, sad, or upset. Remember that if you let negative thoughts take over, you’re likely to manifest a negative outcome.
Algiz (also Elhaz)
This is, in my opinion, one of the most important runes for witches, as its name translates as “protection.” Not only does it deflect negative energy coming your way, it also raises your awareness about potential enemies. Algiz invites you to trust your intuition whenever you feel something feels off. Draw this rune on your veil with rosemary oil or your protective amulet for an extra boost. Alternatively, due to its glyph resembling a man holding his arms up pointing to the sky, this rune is also associated with the connection to the Divine. You can place this rune on your altar or carve it on your deities’ candles to represent your devotion to them and reinforce your bond with them. Author Lisa Chamberlain shares an important disclaimer about Algiz: not because this rune keeps you safe should you be neglectful in your practice or actions. This rune won’t prevent you from breaking your bones if you jump off a rooftop, it will only alert you about energies that’ll potentially cause you harm.
Ingwaz (also Inguz)
This rune is associated with Ing, also known as Freyr, god of fertility. Masculine sexuality and potency are also related to Ingwaz. In a holistic sense, this rune represents procreation and the birth of a new project or renewal of the self. Ingwaz will assure you that any venture you embark on has fruitful and successful results. After painful situations, this rune encourages relief and healing. Similar to The World card in Tarot, Ingwaz represents both completion and rebirth, bringing lots of positive energy for you to start a new cycle. Draw this rune in a piece of paper and stick it to the object or item related or associated with your project. For instance, if you’re trying to start a new business, you can put it on the cover of the notebook you write all your ideas in or in the folder where you store the financial records. This way, you will be welcoming blossoming energy for your business.
Othala (also Odal or Othel)
Othala is the final rune in the Futhark alphabet and it translates as “inheritance” or “heritage”. I decided to include it in the list as it represents an aspect that every witch should take into account: inherited traits and ancestral connection. This rune invites you to look within and reflect upon what behavioral patterns you’ve inherited from your ancestors. Even if those traits are positive or negative, it’s important that you observe them so you can get rid of what doesn’t serve you, in a spiritual sense, which in a way keeps you from reaching your highest potential. Alternatively, Othala signifies a past life or communication with ancestors. Place this rune on your altar, if you have one, or carve it on your ancestors’ candles or heirlooms so as to deepen your bond, connection, and means of conversation with them. You can also meditate with this rune to boost past life regressions.
Engaging in the art of runes can be wonderful and as insightful as Tarot. Regardless of which rune you decide to incorporate in your practice, don’t forget to focus on your intention. You can repeat an affirmation over and over while you draw or carve it so as to bind your intention to the symbol. I should warn you, though, that having them tattooed, to my knowledge, could be dangerous, as runes are so powerful that they may start to affect our lives, causing adrenaline rushes or making us feel lethargic. Just in case, I would suggest only drawing them on your body, like a temporary tattoo, and then retouching it when you need it.
Have you heard about these runes before? What other runes would you incorporate into your magical practice and how? Let us know in the comments!
