Gods are not gumball
machines.
A lot of offerings
made this morning. Of those relevant to this work, Odin and Loki were
first. Loki gave me some advice on using my void magic techniques to
strengthen the altar, and to not fear the work changing you or taking
shape in ways you do not expect. Odin was more formal, in advice for
galdering the Fehu rune in it's use to contact Adumhla.
Before galdering, I
made Audumhla an offering of a block of ice with salt upon it,
recreating her myth wherein she licked the first god into existence.
Galdering was mostly instinctual- I didn't know what my voice would
sound like, or how long I would intone the rune when I started each
round, and my voice got a little hoarse before I finally felt the
presence of Fehu. I explained my request, and Fehu contacted
Audumhla, who proceeded to lick me, cleansing me, before refusing to
bless the gem hearts- without a favor, the details of which I will
leave vague, but it was something difficult to say the least.
I spent several
hours scheming, coming up with a plan of how to pull the favor off,
and returned to the altar with my plan. Audumhla began laughing,
hysterically, and I laughed too. She blessed the items, having really
just been testing me to see what I might do, and found my plan
downright crazy. The thing is, gods being crafty, the planning for
the scheme got me to read more of the eddas, which is in itself more
training with the Norse pantheon. I also decided to develop some of
the techniques I would've needed to pull off the plan and try them
out- which succeeded as a technique, with a very complicated
resolution in the spirit world the likes of which I have to keep
vague on.
So, in summary, gods are very crafty and often succeed in multiple goals all at once.
Hail Audumhla, Hail Odin, Hail Loki!
