The Glyph resembles a pennant style flag at full mast, as it would when your team is in the joy of winning, as opposed to the Thurisaz flag at half mast.

Can you have a ritual without alcohol? oh hell yeah. The ritual should be more about reciprocal action, than details about what is in your horn or chalice. Offer to bring an alternative, and see what happens.

Last I checked, this book was only available in Kindle form. Like many of the other Heathen Resources, it utilizes the NNV.
a book that will guide you through a transformative journey of self-discovery and healing. This book is inspired by the classic story of Alice in Wonderland, written by Lewis Carroll in 1865. Alice is a young girl who falls down a rabbit hole and enters a fantastical world full of strange and whimsical characters. Along the way, she faces many challenges, puzzles, and dangers, but also learns valuable lessons about herself and the world around her.

This book is designed for anyone who is struggling with addiction, trauma, or any other form of emotional pain. It will help you to identify and overcome the obstacles that are holding you back from living a fulfilling and joyful life. It will also inspire you to cultivate the virtues that will empower you to grow and thrive in your recovery.

The book is based on the Aesirian code of nine, a set of principles that originated from the ancient Norse mythology, and is used by some practitioners of Heathenism. The code consists of the following virtues:

Courage: The ability to face your fears and take action despite uncertainty or risk.

Honor: The respect and loyalty that you show to yourself and others, and the adherence to your moral values and principles.

Protect: The savagery and determination that you have to defend your blood and kin, your love and the way, and yourself from any harm or violation.

Flourish: The prosperity and growth that you seek for yourself and your folk, and the intelligence and creativity that you use to achieve it.

Knowledge: The power and wisdom that you gain from learning and expanding your mind, and the gift that you receive from the gods.

Change: The adaptation and transformation that you undergo to survive and thrive in a changing world, and the insight and vision that you have to shape it.

Fairness: The equity and justice that you practice and expect in your dealings with others, and the balance and harmony that you maintain in yourself and your environment.

Control: The discipline and self-control that you exercise over your thoughts, emotions, and actions, and the mark of a great warrior and a disciplined mind.

Conflict: The art and skill of combat, weapons, and vengeance that you master and use when necessary, and the destiny and challenge that you face as a follower of the way.

In contrast, this book offers you a 9-step program that is based on the idea that you are powerful and strong, and that you have the will and desire to overcome your addiction. This book does not tell you what to do or what to believe, but rather invites you to discover your own path and your own truth. This book does not ask you to surrender to anything or anyone, but rather encourages you to take responsibility and ownership of your life and your choices. This book does not impose any rules or steps on you, but rather suggests some virtues and practices that can help you along the way.

To enhance your learning and enjoyment, we have also created a companion workbook that goes along with this book. The workbook has a complete breakdown of working each nine step, with each step taking 30 days. The workbook has a lot of activities to facilitate the change from bad habit to good. Part of the daily activity is to cook a healthy 30-minute meal that the workbook provides daily. There is a lot of cool stuff to engage the reader.

We invite you to follow Alice’s journey and learn from her experiences. We hope that this book will inspire you to embrace your own journey of recovery, and to discover the wonders and joys of your true self.

As Alice says, “The only way to achieve the impossible is to believe it is possible.”

Tomorrow is a great day to begin giving up bad habbits.

Tomorrow is a great day to begin giving up bad habbits.

Every year, Celeste Longacre publishes ‘the best days’ of each month to accomplish tasks based on the moon’s astrological sign and the current moon phase. The first listing is ‘To Quit Smoking’ this shares timing with ‘Begin Diet to Lose Weight’ and ‘To Wean’. All three are about changes in habits through reduction to improve health and life. I have made the educated guess that this also applies to ceasing other bad habits.
The best days to Quit Smoking, Start a diet, wean, or reduce other habits in July are the 16th and the 24th. Both are during the Waning moon.

A Heathen's Guide to Addiction and Recovery
For far too long, drug recovery has been a matter of shame, submission, and serenity prayers. Well no more! In The New Light, author and prison goði Hrafn Rekkr presents an empowering program based on the warrior virtues of Ásatrú. The recovering addict will search for the strength within to battle the curse of addiction.

The New Light also includes:
Stories from the lore to help the recovering addict draw upon the wisdom of Odin, the strength of Thor, & the valiant heart of Freya.
The runes & how they apply to addiction and recovery.
The latest breakthroughs in neuroscience.
A path founded on The Nine Noble Virtues: Truth, Courage, Discipline, Industriousness, Hospitality, Perseverance, Self Reliance, Honor, and Loyalty.
Sagas of Ásatrúar who have struggled with addiction and much more.
Our proud ancestors bowed to no one, not even their gods. Don't let addiction turn you into a thrall. Pick up The New Light and fight your personal Ragnarok!

Hrafn Rekkr has been practicing Ásatrú since 2012. He is the goði of the Seeds of Oak Hofguild, and the creator of The Oak Branch, an Ásatrú newsletter. He wrote this book after realizing the impact that drugs were having on the heathen Community.

I missed Tarot Tuesday yesterday, but feel free to meditate on the Queen of swords

Ha;ppy Tarot Tuesday: Libra Rules The Queen of Swords. What symbolism can you think of that can be applied to your Journey on the Steps to recovery? In decks influenced by the Rider-Waite-Smith decks, you may find the sword (Symbol of thought and mental functions) up in clear skies unclouded. This may be a time of mental clarity for you, or pointing you in the direction of a sponsor, counselor, or therapy group.
