Rune Walk Part 8: Algiz, Sowilo, and Valkyrie Herfjötur

About this episode

The episode explores the meanings of the runes Algiz and Sowilo, along with discussions on valkyries and spiritual lineage.

On this episode we continue our coverage of the Rune Walk with Algiz, Sowilo, and Valkyrie Herfjötur. Before we dive into the runes themselves, we discuss what it means to embody a spirit, or be a part of a spirit lineage or oversoul. We continue with the traditional meanings of the runes, the rune poems, what they meant for us and the gnosis we gained about these runes over the course of the month. This time we really dive deep into our journeys with this valkyrie and these runes. We also talk about names, naming, reincarnation, and their importance to this work, and so much more.
