“General Algiz, is it?” Althjolf asked. He pulled a chair back at the banquet table. When she had sat, he sat next to her. “I am Althjolf, as my sister said. I run the city guard.” “Yes,” Algiz said, settling into the uncomfortably cushioned chair. “I have had that job myself.” — Perseus Greenman (@futharkvillage) […]
Today's story is primarily about Thurisaz and Algiz. Thurisaz is a rune of conflict, and there will be plenty of fighting today. Algiz is a rune of protection, and is associated with the valkyries. Enjoy the story!#futharkvillage @blithgunde @WolfofOdin420 @Apez140 pic.twitter.com/AnlYbMwCSa — Perseus Greenman (@futharkvillage) November 4, 2019 An hour ago, the mead hall was […]
Algiz is a retired general serving King Mannaz as Huskarl. She has watched too many comrades fall in battle to join the Einherjar in Valhalla, and is therefore quite defensive in her battle strategies.
Sixes in the Minor Arcana There are two pairs of sixes, rather than a single, unifying theme. The Six of Cups and the Six of Pentacles fall under ᚠ (Fehu). Both show someone handing something to someone whose head is lower, but they show opposite circumstances of that giving. The Six of Wands and the […]
As with Ansuz last week, Kenaz looks different from the Elder to the Younger Futharks. In the Elder Futhark, Kenaz looks vaguely like a letter C, written without curves. The Younger Futhark actually looks more like its meaning, a torch. (In the Anglo-Saxon Futhorcs, Kaun tends to look the same as in the Elder Futhark.) […]
What Will We Discuss Today? Today, we will discuss the Aces of each suit and, by extension, the meanings of the suits. I will include a selection of many versions of each card to hopefully give you a better idea of the card’s underlying meaning than any one deck will provide. What Are the Aces? […]
“We have no time!” Modi snarled. “We have waited too long for Thorleif to return already.” Einherjar and dwarves worked quickly and tirelessly to pack carts for the journey to the Exchange of Hammers while Modi growled at Perthro. “Sowilo says we need to.”#futharkvillage — Perseus Greenman (@futharkvillage) January 6, 2020 “How can we stop […]
Today's story involves a bit of verbal sparring between King Mannaz and King Nordri. While Nordri is mentioned in the Eddas, we don't know much about him. Mannaz is based on the rune Mannaz, a rune of mankind, leadership, and cooperation. #futharkvillage @CeruliasCircle — Perseus Greenman (@futharkvillage) November 20, 2019 King Nordri sat himself down […]
Laguz sailed the longship Tyr up the river toward the city he could see in the distance. The river had twisted and turned so much since they had last seen the sun that he no longer had any concept of North, South East or West. It was only upstream and down.#futharkvillage — Perseus Greenman (@futharkvillage) […]
The next morning found a search party exploring the area around the waterfall. Laguz had sailed the search party up to the waterfall, where they had all disembarked and climbed the steep hill up to a lake above. #futharkvillage @MjolnirForge @blithgunde @MightySigurd — Perseus Greenman (@futharkvillage) November 11, 2019 When Laguz inspected the waterfall, he […]
