     In order to begin exploring fundamental processes which include drawing up some form of entirely compulsory outline or crucial credence surrounding one’s life’s original creation, numerous cultures theorized about associating their earthly existences’ origins with rudimentary, natural energies. Stereotypically, Oriental peoples over time came together forming the main nationality that has focused its core teachings and subject matter around these elemental forces. Long ago near Tibet’s spiritually centered lands, a rather old spiritual tradition called Bön originated including shamanistic, animistic beliefs focusing on elements. Earth constitutes solidity. Water describes cohesion. Fire embodies temperture. Air encompasses motion. Space is spatial dimension.

This appears to be nothing more than a simple paragraph that I wrote. But appearances can be decieving. This is a 100-word paragraph in which I could not repeat any word (even “I,” “a,” or “an”).

On this celestial plane, matter is interlinked.
Four joined together to make all at birth.
The job became endless as time passed and blinked.
Firm, strong, and solid is Earth.
Lightly flows Air with all her mirth.
Courageous is Fire, a fierce persona embodies his creed.
Water, fluid in her motion; beauty is all she’s worth.
Some cannot grasp the elements and their eternal deed.

If only they opened their minds, they could then proceed
To learn of a land more intricate than mere lore.
Consider these words onto this paper I did bleed.
Glance around to see the connections made clear all the more.
Acceptance and knowledge comprise a mindset long thought rare.
Learn of this to visit the elemental lair.

This is a poem I wrote in the format of a Spenserian sonnet.

A ‘short’ essay on the relation of emotion and mindfulness from my perspective while in high school, before discovering Buddhism or Paganism. Seems I always ‘knew’ where I should end up.

“I sensed a sea change, a paradigm shift. Lulled by a 
sense of security, I began the journey to my perfect place.”

2. A myth or story from folklore. 

Lately, I have been focusing the bulk of my studies on Norse Mythos. And so far, the most interesting story that I have come across is that of Haiti and Skoll.

Haiti and Skoll are brothers, and the sons of Fenrir (which makes them the grandchildren of Loki). Haiti spends every night running through the sky chasing Mani (the moon), while Skoll spends every day chasing Sol (the sun). This is a seemingly fruitless quest, until…

One day, Haiti and Skoll will succeed in their quests, thus ushering in the start of Ragnorak.

P.S. - I created that image. If you like it, add me on deviant art @ http://www.syndrath412.deviantart.com/ and come see some more of my work.

A simple invocation that I wrote, and subsequently used in ritual when I consecrated my athame, wand, and runes. Feel free to use it if you are drawn to. Well, I’d advise you substitute your name in. 

God of the earth that gives me life,
Goddess of the air that gives me life,
God of the fire that gives me life,
Goddess of the water that gives me life.

My magickal name is Fiachrull Ea’Laric Noxulf,
I am your child in this life and the next,
I am an apprentice in your steed,
I love you humbly and worship you.

I desire your power in all of my workings,
I need your guidance to do not wrong,
I ask of you knowing of your grace,
I summon you here and now!

If any of you have a deviantArt, you should watch me at  http://syndrath412.deviantart.com/  and even better, become a member of my newly created, but already awesome, group at http://order-of-odin.deviantart.com/. Thanks all.

Blessed Be!
