An international, initiatory, Old Europe (Vanatru/Waincraft) mystery cultus honourING the lovING and wild Gods and Ælves, both of the light and of the darkness. In the Voluspa we are told:
That folk war she remembers
First in The World
When Golden Vigour [Gulveig] was spear stabbed
And in Har's Hall
They burned her
Thrice burnt
Thrice reborn
Over and over
Yet ever she lives! Most Honoured Shining One [Heiðr] they call her
Wherever to houses she comes
Staff bearer, well seeing
She knows how to wield the serpent through magic
She makes magic wherever she can
She makes magic mind dancing
Ever she smells sweetly
To ill suited brides [i.e. hedgewitches]
Then the reigning Gods went
To their advisory seats
Deeply holy Gods
And on that they counseled
Whether should the Aesir
Offer payment
Or should all the Gods
Receive payments
Odin let fly a spear
And into the people it shot
That folk war was still going
First in the world
Breaching the board wall
Of the Aesir's city,
The Vanir knew war divination [vígspá]
The field they stomped. This defeat made the Aesir
Vulnerable to the raw forces of nature
Who demanded to be given
The Lady, Lover of Passion
---Voluspa 21-25
Contained in this passage are deep, deep mysteries. We exist to revive the deep animistic Vanic mystery cultus as it may help us grow in modern times. We seek to connect with the spirits of Old Europe, in the time before the various invasions. The time when we were all connected to the wilderness, cradled in her love. The time before walls, the time before societal laws, the time before we forgot who we truly are and from whence we came. We seek to truly regain and practice the 'old ways', indeed the oldest of ways. Like Gulveig we seek to transmute suffering into golden shining wisdom, skill, cunning, and craeft, to wield the serpent (magic) and to see well into the strands of reality (divination). Further, we seek to share our development and our understanding with others, those who delight in pushing the boundaries of commonly accepted ways of being and ways of knowing. We are an initiatory mystery school whereby mysteries are revealed and ceremonial technologies are passed down from those adept in the Three Flames Mystery Tradition to those seeking to connect with The Way of The Wilderness. We have a system of grades (revealed to all who seek to know our ways), and it is a duty and privilege for those who have achieved higher grades to lift up those still yearning to connect with the wildness within and without. We are open to share our knowledge, experiences, and fellowship with all that have a genuine call to the primal ways from the times of the first Gods. Therefore, there is no space for hatred in our tradition. We are an inclusive community and do not tolerate discrimination of any kind. Would you know yet more? Then contact us through this page, or else send an email to [email protected], whereupon you will be given guidance on curricula and correspondence next steps, the shaky steps of the wilderness wanderer on toward the builder of flames to shine as brightly as the golden bristled boar to be adorned with the cervine antler, the feathers of the co**se hawk, to find shelter under the jewelled quilt.
