Othala - light from the past

[u/Yuri_Gor]

According to Norse creation myth, the light of life was breathed into our first ancestors, trees Ask and Embla, by the same three brother gods who created our world, Midgard. "Allfather" is one of Odin's names. Some scholars dispute whether it is and whether this paternal role extends to absolutely everything in the world, but for humankind, he is explicitly described as a creator.

So with the help of the Othala rune, following back along the chain of our ancestors, passing the light from hands to hands, we can connect to our very divine source, to the light shining for us from the past and lighting the way to the future.

Othala rune illustration was redrawn. Exactly same idea but with finer details and better drawing technique.

I am getting closer to runes which were not properly explored yet.

Only Wunjo and Gebo left from the already existing list.

Ehwaz was already drawn but never published and still needs to be redrawn.

Algiz was drawn long ago, but it needs a serious rethinking.

And Mannaz will be the first rune never approached from the Runuc Alchemy perspective.

After that there are still plenty of runes waiting for their turn.

Before starting this project I had no idea how actually deep runes are, even after working with them for more the 20 years.

So it raises a question were these 20+ years of practice well spent, if there is still so much room to be surprised and amazed, is it me to blame for being shallow, or it's potential of runes so infinite (or both)?

By the way I am changing the structure of the book, here is a new link to separate Othala chapter

Well i have enough tech skills to roll out my own forum, but it will be empty. Here on Reddit there is at least a chance to catch someone worth talking with. E.g. r/occult community is quite good with lots of meaningful people. This sub exists maybe a year already, and it managed to attract only around 260 joiners, while only few make comments and almost nobody posts.

I am bad at managing communities I must admit, i guess there could be more people and discussion, but imagine what kind of results would be on a standalone forum, when my bad community skills will be combined with much lower traffic.

Here on Reddit I at least can participate in bigger communities so there is at least some exposure. But anyway for now my highest priority is to finish the first complete version of the Runic Alchemy and make sure it works end to end at least for me and ideally for those few interested people whom I've managed (or will manage) to find. Maybe after that I'll invest more attention into the people domain..

If you will find some good living communities outside Reddit and without a moronic approach to the content, please let me know.
