Runework.....

Unlike the previous times I've renewed work with the Runes(EF or AFF)I've gone to the books. This time I decided to use the notes I've taken over the decades of previous work with them.
Going through the files I found more than I thought was there; old workshop handouts(mine an those I attended), notebooks written over a period of 2 decades, even Marion's Nordic Goddesses notes(sadly, didn't find a copy of her work of the Gods. It was lost along with a LOT of stuff on an unbacked up computer yrs ago).
It's been Interesting in the extreme reading the results of Trancework, Meditation, etc esp. on each stanza of the Runepoems. I esp liked that of Fehu; a herd of Aurochs crossing a river and that same herd forced to remain on the same ground. One tills and enriches the Land, the other poisons Land, Water and Air.....
In some ways it's sad because it shows what could have been if we'd stayed in the Bay Area where I would have had both further education of the subject AND growth personally from Teaching. I gave that up here 'cause I got tired of "splaining" that there is NO REASON for a Blank Runestone........

Well they were a series of posts in one of these 2 places, but I haven't tracked them down yet.

They as well as probably a decade or more of cached group/list/etc were on my computer when it became a large paperweight;>. A lot of it was on list that either had gone dark or I'd left due to "politics". Everything from AnA for example....
Sad, like lost journals.
Cheers,

Noil might have been able to extract the data ...

I've just spent time searching through both here and LJ (sobering; I used to be able to write better, and there are all those vanished people in the comments ...) and I can't find the entries. So I am forced to conclude they were on Seeker's Collective or in some other lost place. The journals at Seeker's moved location several times, so the Wayback Machine doesn't seem to have them. In December 2004 or January 2005 Seeker's published my gods and goddesses essays as a Cafepress book, but that Cafepress page is gone too, and the book didn't sell well that I know of. (I never got the royalties.) I think I sent my one copy to Noil.

However, I believe he used them to make the gods and goddesses pages on the Heathenthing site. Check what you have on the goddesses against this page and if you find it's substantially the same text alphabetized, then you should find the missing gods pages alphabetized here.

P.S.: The rune spells are really not attracting attention. Maybe it's time for you to post on the Völuspá list and ask them whether they want to go back to Völuspá in a few months' time and if so, whether they want me to do it.
