NORSEMEN = NORTHMEN= VIKINGS


Norsemen = Northmen =Vikings

It is we, modern man, that has used the term “Vikings” when we talk about our ancestors.

But during the times that they explored, raided and traded with the rest of the world they were known as 'Northmen' or 'Norsemen.'

If you are doing research on Vikings on the net try entering 'Northmen' and 'Norsemen' as key words for additional info.

A great deal of our Ancestral history has been presented in rude fragments in early Icelandic Poetry. Until just recently, the rich wealth of Norse religious traditions, mythical law and Rune information have been ignored.

Our Religious Beliefs and much of our Rune Lore is enshrined in the Edda's. They are as rich in natural romance and race imagination as any of the myths of the South.

Our Icelandic literature stands as strong as the Scandinavian Mountains. It exhibits a 'spirit of Victory; a spirit that fights and overcomes. This literature is the base of Fairy tales, Wagner's opera, “The Ring” and Token's Lord of the Rings.

The Norsemen have given their Gods a Noble, upright, great spirit and placed them on a higher level than other Gods.

The old Norse Songs have a truth in them, as do the runes. It is an inward truth and greatness, not of the mere body but also a greatness of the Soul.

The modern day indifference to our Northern Mythology has many causes. First of all that the religious beliefs of our past ancestors were not held with any real tenacity. This gave the Christian missionaries their opening. The Northern Festivals were arrested and convoluted into Christian festivals.

The Runes were demonized and destroyed by fire, since the majority of Rune lore was carved into wood.

Only a travesty of the faith of our Ancestors has been preserved in Norse literature. Most of the early poetry is allegory and cannot be read verbatim.

His Eyes were fixed on the mountains till the snowy peaks assumed human features and the giant of the rock descended with heavy tread....”

We are told nothing as to sacrificial and religious rites which would have provided material for much more Artistic Treatment.

Even with all the limitations imposed by long neglect; it is possible for us to reconstruct a plan to bring forward our ancient Norse beliefs.

Our Ancestors gazed upon a Universe filled with Divinity. They were large-hearted people. We must preserve as much of the old lore as we can.

The Volsung Saga is a great story of the North which should be to all our race what the tale of Troy was to the Greeks.

Now with the new paradigm of the laws of Quantum Physics, the box of secrets to the past has been opened wide.

Let us use one of the gifts of the Age of Aquarius, the INTERNET, to surf and copy and distribute as much information about our Northern Race and their Runes as we can find.

It is our task to revitalize our Ancestral Soul, and allow it become more powerful, even into the 21st Century!

Norse Mythology Nibelung Ring Runes


Norse Mythology

Nibelung Ring Runes


The Ring of the Nibelung is a very old Norse Mythological story. It's theme has been used down through the centuries by may famous artists, composers and writers.


Wagner immortalized it with his famous Opera of the same name. J.R. Tolkien used it as the base for his Ring of Power which had the runes inscribed inside the band. . It is in the theme of “L 'Mort D'art” ( the story of King Arthur), Scott used it by embedding “The Sword in the Stone.”


Brothers Grimm used it in their wonderful story “Sleeping Beauty.” Even the story of Siegfried and the Dragon, used the Nibelung Ring theme. And many, many more too many to name.


Where did it all start? Where did the legends come from? We have a clue in “Die Walkure.” This is the story of Odin and the Valkyrie Brunhilde.


Once a upon a time, the Northern Gods found themselves in a dilemma. They had a very powerful ring inscribed with Runes in their possession. They could not allow their enemy, a giant, to get possession of it. That would spell their doom.


So they built a citadel and had nine Valkyrie maidens guarding it. All of them were daughters of Odin and Erda.


Odin went to Midgard and united himself with a mortal woman. He called himself, Walse, meaning “wolf”. He wanted to found a formidable race called the 'Walsungs.'


The first two Walsungs were Siegmund and Sieglinde. But before they could marry, Sieglinde was carried off by a rough hunter called Hunding.


Siegmund fought Hunding until l the darkness separated them. Siegmund found his way to Hunding's house. Hunding returned, and since he could not fight Siegmund in his home he offered him combat for the next morning.


That night a mysterious stranger, the God Odin, came and thrust a sword up to the hilt into the trunk of a tree in front of Hunding's home.


Odin said it could only be drawn out by the bravest. This gave Siegmund the edge, being part god himself. He easily drew the sword out of the trunk. Odin then ordered Brunhilde, the Valkyrie, to help Siemund in the upcoming fight.


Frigga, Odin's wife was furious that Odin gave Siegmund such an advantage. She demanded he back off. Odin yielded and commanded Brunhilde to see that Siegmund failed. Brunhilde went to kill Siegmund, but her heart melted and she could not kill him.


For her disobedience, Odin revoked Brunhilde's power. Odin then condemned her to wed the mortal who should awaken her. He swore that only the bravest of heroes would be able to wake her up. Odin kissed Brunhilde and cast her into a deathlike slumber. He struck his staff on the rocks and summoned Loge, the fire God.


Flames in the form of protection Runes ( not unlike the rune Thurisaz) sprang up and surrounded the sleeping Valkyrie maiden.


Look at how many wonderful stories sprang up from this little tale!
