/asatru/ - Asatru / Heathenry / Paganism

Amazing how the majority of them are outlawed in Germany.

>>3739

Might happen once this powder keg of society we have finally explodes and the right side wins.

>>3745

so could there be another more ancient form of writing developed by the germanics before and not imported? or is there a strong chance this is it and it's just a case of similar development?

>>4814

So would it be a fitting tattoo if my focus is in traveling and wandering to find more knowledge and skills, and to see the world? As I understand it that's what Odin was known for, my main focus is on him so far because from what I know that's the kind of god he was

I am a designer of weapons, among other things. Designing things is a great joy to me, and my designs have been quite successful.

What would be the most fitting rune to praise/reflect on my design traits and talents which I was gifted?

Would it be inadvisable to get a tattoo of said rune?

Norwegian ancestry btw.

I always find it funny how these leftard hipster open source faggots are always triggered the most by non-politically correct content and immediately want to ban and censor it

They're almost as bad as the wicca sjw faggots

Thank you very much!

keep the good work up

Not implying you're incorrect at all, but how do you know this?

Is there a website in plain English which states what each rune and their derivatives represent, or do you know simply from study?

Also I came across this excerpt from the SIGRDRÍFUMÁL:

Sig-runes thou must know, if victory (sigr) thou wilt

have, / And on thy sword's hilt grave them;

Some on the chapes, some on the guard,

And twice name the name of Ty.

Can you please explain to me why the stacked Tiwaz rune has three sets of "arms" if in the story Sigdrifa told Sigurd to "twice" (double?) the name of Tyr.

Does anyone have some good resources to learn the armanen futhark other than List's own book?

I can read german, so german sources are fine.

you novices I dont see a SINGLE thread or post about Alu

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alu_%28runic%29

I have spent many years studying the runes and part of that study has been to Alu but lately I have especially been meditating on it. It is widely accepted that the literal meaning of the word is Ale, but it's deeper meaning and runic symbolism is unclear. Many theories on the linked wikipedia article are proposed but I have a simpler one. Just examine what runes are used. Ansuz, Laugaz, Uruz.

"God/Aesir, Water/Leek, Aurochs/Audhumla"

I think it is a metaphor for something more mythical than simply ale, but something with no clear comparison in later Norse myth. Perhaps there is some saga I am forgetting that would make the meaning more clear.

Any thoughts?

On an unrelated note, do you guys think it should be common practice (albeit not forced) to memorize all the runes and rune poems? At least for our gothi and vitki

I know I might sound retarded, but I only just realized the symbolism of the Othala rune. Obviously I knew it meant heritage by reading it up, but I never really bothered about it too much. It's one of those things you have hidden in the back of your head until it pops in front if your eyes.

Turns out in my villages many older houses (~1750 I think) have symbols for fertility on their façades. Yep, it's Ingwaz. Sometimes mixed with a Saltire, but more importantly sometimes simply as a chain as shown in the beginning of this video, only in wood at the corners of a house:

So yeah, the Othala rune is basically a part of a chain made out of fertility, representing your place in the chain connecting you and your children with your ancestors. I felt like pointing that out.

Also because of that I think we should be very careful with use of the Odal rune with the little hooks on it's bottom. Like the one available as flag. It looks like a broken chain to me.

>poems? At least for our gothI and Vitki

Yes. I don't plan on being either of those things, but I' in the process of memorizing them myself. Our faith is one that has been in a state of "stasis" for so long, none of s can afford to be ignorant about any aspect. There is no room for passiveness in Asatru as you see in other faiths.

So how exactly does one utilize the runes?

Do you just slap one on to something for the desired effect? Is it possible to link certain ones together for certain things?

If so, how does one know which ones to use?

Sorry for all the questions.

I would also like to know. Hopefully someone here knows and we won't have to bother /fringe/

Hail Odin.

I've heard that Odin learned rune chants.

Is this a type of galdr that we can use?

Does the inguz rune have characteristics of new beginnings/change (for the better)?

Just graduated college and want a rune that signifies a new beginning.

>>11604

Far from an expert in divination but if the rune represents the god Ingwia-Fraujaz, his tribes (the Ingvaeones; the Angles, Saxons, Jutes and Frisians) gave a new beginning in the Anglo-Saxon migration. He is also a god associated with fertility which could be seen to link with new beginnings.

Kemetian pagan here but worked with the elder futhark for quite sometime, have to say I am comfortable with them than any other form of divination.

pretty accurate too.

I cast them within a bone circle, take out the revealed one, facing up, then reveal the hidden rest,then read from the center in a spiral to the outer part of the circle.

but every one has a different method.
