Groove-soaked and blissfully offbeat.

Love this track's gentle, blues-inflected guitar licks, the subtle organ hums and Sky Saxon’s striking vocal performance, fragile and full of quiet ache.

When The Seeds met Joe Besser

Here we see the one-time-only meeting of the seminal garage band The Seeds, led by the late, great Sky Saxon, and Joe Besser, the fey-est Stooge and costar of "The Abbott and Costello Show." Making this stew even sweeter, it should be noted that Desi Arnaz himself directed this episode of the sitcom "The Mothers in Law."

Veo que el fabuloso canal Yesterday´s Papers de Youtube está dedicando especiales a grandes grupos americanos del garaje- psych. Como siempre, la edición y la selección son fantásticas. Del dedicado a The Seeds me ha llamado mucho la atención los "parecidos razonables" que establecen entre el grupo de Sky Saxon y The Doors ("Pictures and Desings", sabido es que fueron una de sus influencias), The Stooges y The Velvet Underground ("Up In Her Room"- "Sister Ray") como para que alguien les niegue el título de adelantados al punk. Soberbio trabajo. Felicidades.

understanding norse runes: a historical and modern perspective pt. 3

Sorry it's taken me so long everyone, holidays and school starting back up had me really distracted.

For part 1 click here, for part 2 click here.

ᛏ tiwaz

ANGLO-SAXON:

"Tir is a guiding star, well keeps faith with princes; it is on course over the mists of night, never failing."

NORWEGIAN:

"Tiw is the one-handed member of the Aesir often has the smith to blow."

ICELANDIC:

"Tyr is the one-handed As and leavings of the wolf and king of temples."

INTERPRETATION: Law and order, justice, victory, but victory for the people, not just the individual. Tyr (this rune's namesake), as the god of war, is also a god of the people, much in the same way Ares is. This rune emphasizes self-sacrifice in the name of common good, in order the serve a larger purpose. However, Tyr also embodies the wisdom of the goddess Athena, also a goddess of war. You have to be reliable, hard working, and loyal in order to achieve success, but you also have to have a plan, gather intel, do research. Think about what you did to deserve your successes: it's not just about the end goal, but the path you took too. As a bindrune, this stave can be good for summoning courage and energy needed for change, especially in legal matters. However, if your motivations are not pure, or actions not just, Tyr will just as much take action against you as for you. Use this rune if you need help bolstering your leadership skills, or for reinforcing a position you already have. Take decisive action, assert yourself, and take on obstacles with gusto.

KEY WORDS: Courage, loyalty, justice, wisdom, determination

ASSOCIATIONS: Tyr

ᛒ berkano

ANGLO-SAXON:

"Poplar/Birch bears no fruit, bears without seed suckers, for from its leaves it's generated, splendid are its branches, gloriously adorned its lofty crown, lifting to the sky."

NORWEGIAN:

"Birch is the greenest-leaved of branches; Loki was lucky in his deception."

ICELANDIC:

"Birch is leafy branch and little tree and youthful wood"

INTERPRETATION: Meaning "birch," this rune represents birth and rebirth, especially when created out of very little. New beginnings, or a restart of something old. But just in as much as it can be ascribed to the cycle of life, this rune is also connected to the cycle of death, as they go hand-in-hand. Birch is a hardy tree that grows in cold climates, bracing the bitterest winters to be cut down and used for maypoles at the coming of spring. This stave is especially useful in what is called "feminine" magic: relating to menstruation, birth, protection of young girls, or sensuality. Use Berkano to call upon the power of Frigg during wedding preparations, Freyja during times of courtship, and Hella during times requiring vengeance or after betrayal. Prosperity and beauty are indicated, as well as a nurturing, protective force. Lots of interpretations relate this rune to the Divine Feminine, or the Goddess archetype.

KEY WORDS: Fertility, new beginnings, femininity,

ASSOCIATIONS: Frigg, Freyja, Hella

ᛖ ehwaz

ANGLO-SAXON:

"Horse is a joy to princes in presence of earls, Horse in pride of its hooves, when rich men, mounted, bandy words, and is to the restless ever a comfort."

INTERPRETATION: Relationships and friendship, literally meaning "horse," the interpretation stems from the trust and love between rider and horse. On any journey into the unknown, you should always bring a friend. Mutual trust is important, though, and that takes a good amount of work to achieve. Harmony between to people is indicated, but loss of individuality does not accompany it. Reliability and loyalty are important qualities in this situation, not intolerance or jadedness. This harmony can also be achieved between two unlike things, two opposites: man and woman, physical and psychic, shaman and god. It is a good rune for meditation with the gods, as it can help bridge the gap between the mortal and immortal realms. Because ehwaz means "horse" this rune can also indicate travel or change. A steady and progressive change is underway, and consistency is key to maintain it.

KEY WORDS: Partnership, harmony, travel

ASSOCIATIONS: Sleipnir, Freyr

ᛗ mannaz

ANGLO-SAXON:

"The mirthful man is dear to kinsmen, yet every man must fail his fellow since the will of the Lord dooms that the frail flesh to earth be taken."

NORWEGIAN:

"Man is an augmentation of the dust; great is the claw of the hawk."

ICELANDIC:

"Man is the joy of man and augmentation of the dust and adorner of ships."

INTERPRETATION: Literally meaning "man," mannaz represents the journey towards self-actualization, achieving an internal balance: between mortal and divine, between male and female, between conscious and unconscious. Take responsibility for yourself, and have respect for everything around you: nature, your fellow man, the gods, our ancestors, and your future. This is the stave of humanity, and all the flaws and follies that may accompany it, but recognizing them as inherently Human, and therefore not all that negative. It represents an awakening, like removing the blinders from a horse, so to speak. It addresses question of identity and purpose, one's function in society. However, this rune requires cooperation, for the user not to fight their "destiny" (which is self-made), or to at least not to abandon it. This rune represents the choices a person is constantly presented with, the same choices everyone is presented with, as a collective. It serves as a reminder that we are never alone, and while we are constantly reliant on others, we should also allow others to be reliant on us.

KEY WORDS: Identity, self-actualization, community, humanity

ASSOCIATIONS: Heimdall, Odin-Vili-Ve

ᛚ laguz

ANGLO-SAXON:

"The sea seems interminable to people if they shall venture on rolling ship and the waves of the sea terrify them, and the sea-stallion heeds not its bridle."

NORWEGIAN:

"Water is where a cascade falls from a mountain-side but ornaments are made of gold."

ICELANDIC:

"Water is welling stream and broad kettle and land of the fish."

INTERPRETATION: With the translation being "lake," the laguz rune represents a lot of what the element of water represents: creativity, visions/dreams, emotions, and vital energy (coming from the idea of the Niflheimr). As with the flow of a rushing river, it is safer to go along with the current than to fight it. A period of trials leading to personal growth is indicated, something that will be difficult, but not outright impossible to overcome. It may be that something hidden is soon revealed. You might feel overwhelmed, or quite put upon, but remember that there is nothing wrong with you, and all shall soon come to pass. Representing the essence of life, laguz can have alternative meanings involving birth, reproduction, healing, psychic powers. It's usage in matters involving the female reproductive and menstrual cycle is said to be very powerful.

KEY WORDS: Intuition, femininity, adaptability, emotional depth

ASSOCIATIONS: Nerthus

ᛝ ingwaz

ANGLO-SAXON:

"Ing was first among the East-Danes seen by men, till he to the east over waves went, his wain after ran, thus the Heardings named the hero."

INTERPRETATION: Ingwaz, representing fertility and masculinity, was said to translate to "Yngvi," thought to be another name for Freyr. It is the time before actualization, a period of gestation, in a sense. This is a potent state, a time where you have to have patience, and let things come to be on their own time. Ingwaz is a rune of transformation, of birth and death, of sensuality and love. However, not so much in the same way that Freyja was a goddess of love, but in the way that Freyr could be interpreted as a god of love; which is more about virility and sex than love. However, if your issue does not relate to interpersonal relationships, this is definitely a rune of nature. This is the stave of the farmer, of the father. Look towards the masculine figure in your life for answers, whether they will provide it to you, or are the crux of your issues.

KEY WORDS: Virility, fertility, potential, masculinity,

ASSOCIATIONS: Freyr

ᛞ dagaz

ANGLO-SAXON:

"Day is God's sending, dear to men the great lord's light means mirth and happiness to rich and poor, useful to all."

INTERPRETATION: Meaning "day," this rune represents clarity, awakening, opening the third eye, consciousness, hope and happiness. Often given very little context other than it's interpretation being overall positive, the dagaz rune should be invoked whenever you need a turning point, or clarification. It is the light of day at dawn, that brings recompense to the fearful and retribution against the hateful. It reminds of the cyclical nature of life, as bad times come, so does new hope emerge. New opportunities are being presented to you, basically on a silver platter. When surrounded by other runes, it turns basically a whole reading towards the positive.

KEY WORDS: Awareness, dawn, hope, happiness

ASSOCIATIONS: Day, Odin

ᛟ othala

ANGLO-SAXON:

"An estate is very dear to every man if he may there rightly and peacefully enjoy in the hall frequent harvest."

INTERPRETATION: The rune of the hearth and home, othala means, most literally "ancestral property," which aligns very similarly to the divinatory interpretation. It promises safety and stability, our relatives, our roots. However, it also warns us to not hide behind our pasts, and to be constantly evolving along with the rest of society. At the end of the day, we must always have something to come home to, a strong foundation. But if this foundation is unsteady, like a toxic relationship is, it can harm us more than help us. It represents everything inherited, psychological traits, land, a home, a name, family, a community. It represents the separation between the here and now, and the then and there, between mortal and immortal. For this reason, it can be a rune to represent Odin.

KEY WORDS: Heritage, inheritance, legacy, tradition

ASSOCIATIONS: Odin

Friedrich Gauß and Wilhelm Weber working at the first electrical needle-telegraph invented by themselves

Left Weber at the keyer apparatus which he uses to operate the electricity-converting solenoid; right Gauß at the receiver, watching the mirror of the galvanometer through a telescope. Inside the multiplicator solenoid below the mirror the magnetic needle, a heavy iron rod. The connecting wires are suspended over the city of Göttingen and also fixed at St. John's tower. After a drawing of A. Wald.

In the early summer of 1833, the first electromagnetic telegraph became operational in the city of Göttingen. It was conceived and built by physicists Carl Friedrich Gauß and Wilhelm Weber, and their assistants. It was Weber himself who climbed the buildings to lay the cables, which had a length of 5000 Lower Saxon Foot, about 1460 m, running between the institute of physics and the astronomical observatory.

Gauß wrote: "A wire connection has been established between the observatory and the physics cabinet; the total wire length is approximately 5,000 feet. Our Weber deserves credit for having strung these wires (across St. John's Tower and maternity house) entirely by himself. Almost countless times, the wires, once fully or partially finished, have been torn apart again (through mischief or accident). Finally, a few days ago, the connection appears to have been securely established; instead of the former fine copper wire, a somewhat stronger (varnished) iron wire has been used."

The keyer consisted of two contacts, which could generate a negative or positive electrical pulse. The receiver was a galvanometer, a early form of a moving coil meter, attached to a mirror, which had to be observed with a telescopic set of lenses. Gauß and Weber developed a code of positive and negative pulses for the letters of the alphabet, which allowed for a transmission rate of seven letters per minute. After the galvanometer was improved, 9 letters per minute were possible. The first reported message was: " WISSEN VOR MEINEN SEIN VOR SCHEINEN" (knowledge better than opinion, existence better than semblance).

Although the telegraph line existed until 1845, when it was damaged beyond repair by a lightning strike, it was not constantly in use. Wilhelm Weber was part of the Göttingen Seven and lost his professorship after protesting against King Ernest Augustus' anulment of the liberal constitution. Weber had to eke out a living as a private tutor and had little time to support Gauß, so the telegraph was only used temporarily. Weber regained his professorship after the March Revolution of 1848.

Gauß wrote about the destruction of the telegraph line: "The very strong lightning strike that struck St. John's Tower probably spread across these wires, destroying them all, breaking them into pieces, some larger, some smaller, pieces four to five inches long and countless small balls like poppy seeds, all forming a magnificent shower of fire. […] No damage was done, except that a lady's hat was burned by falling pieces of glowing wire, but it is very likely that the wires protected the tower, which offers no electrical conduction at all, and if ignited in the violent storm would perhaps have put the library and the town in great danger."

Here is the Gauß-Weber code in its two variants:

A: +++++ +

B: ++++- -

C: +++-+ ++

D: +++-- +-

E: ++-++ -+

F: ++-+- --

G: ++--+ +++

H: ++--- ++-

I: +-+++ +-+

K: +-++- +--

L: +-+-+ -++

V: -+-++ +--+

W: -+-+- +---

X: -+--+ -+++

Y: -+--- -++-

Z: --+++ -+-+

?: --+-+

/: --+--

Messages using the Gauß-Weber code are sent to the sky by laser during some events in Göttingen today. + and – are represented by long and short laser pulses, respectively.

The Wheel of the Year

While most practitioners follow along with their beliefs and depend on which pantheon to focus on, there's a universal understanding that there's seasons and seasonal changes that happen within the year. Whether they would call it Persephone returning to her mother Demeter as the start of spring, or her departure to the Underworld as the beginning of colder days, there's many ways of looking at the seasons and their transitions.

Universally in the realm of practitioners is this calendar called "The Wheel of the Year". Each season and peak of that season is celebrated by a "Sabbat" and on each of these sabbats, practitioners would celebrate in accordance to these seasons/transitions in between seasons. In this blog, we will be looking into each of these 8 sabbats and what practitioners/witches do on these special days.

Yule (Dec 21 - Jan 1): The first of the 8 sabbats is Yule, which aligns with today’s holiday of Christmas. This holiday was observed by Germanic peoples and welcomes the winter solstice. It is celebrated by burning a yule log, decorating a pine tree with berries, pinecones, etc., along with observing the sun’s short rising and setting. Witches and practitioners would practice Yule by lighting yule logs, decorating evergreens, creating an altar, and feasting. They would also make a wreath, perform blessing rituals for donations, light candles, and give gifts.

Imbolc (Feb 1 - Feb 2): The second is Imbolc, which is based on worshiping the Celtic fire goddess Brigid along with the coming of spring. White flowers, white candles, a corn husk doll, and a bowl of milk are used at altars to worship Brigid. Practitioners and witches would light candles, do spring cleaning, create an altar, craft Brigid's cross, perform divination, plant seeds, purify their spaces, and feast with grain and dairy dishes.

Ostara (March 20): Ostara is the third sabbat. It is the celebration of the spring equinox for by now the flowers have bloomed and fertility has returned. The goddess celebrated on this holiday is Eostre of the Anglo-Saxon pantheon. The painted eggs seen all throughout today’s holiday of Easter originates from the myth that Eostre turned a bird into a rabbit who laid colorful eggs. Witches and practitioners would decorate eggs, plant seeds, do spring cleaning, perform healing rituals, meditate, connect with nature, and set intentions for the coming spring season.

Beltane (April 30 - May 1): The fourth sabbat is the Gaelic holiday Beltane, which commences the beginning of summer. A large bonfire is held as people dance around a maypole and reenact a god and goddess confirming their love for each other. In ancient times farmers would walk their cattle between bonfires as prayers for a bountiful harvest. Practitioners and witches would light bonfires, dance around a maypole, make flower crowns, have spa days, plant seeds, and connect nature with the union of God and Goddess.

Litha (June 21 - June 22): The fifth sabbat is Litha, also known as Midsummer. It is celebrated on the summer solstice and worships Earth’s growing fertility as the sun reaches its highest point in the sky. Origins of the holiday come from Anglo-Saxons for “Litha” was the old word for June. Witches and practitioners would light bonfires, create a Litha altar, connect with nature, go for a picnic, go swimming, and watch the sunrise. They would also meditate, make flower crowns, and enjoy the beginning of the summer season.

Lammas *AKA Lugnasadh* (July 31 - August 1): The sixth sabbat is Lammas, or its other name Lughnasadh. This holiday comes from Anglo-Saxon origins and in Old English means “loaf mass”. By this point in August, the days are getting slowly shorter but there’s a bountiful harvest on the way. As for now, the wheat is ready for harvesting. Practitioners and witches would bake bread, create corn dolls, have a feast with seasonal ingredients, and give thanks for the abundance of the season. They would also craft Lammas wreaths usually out of wheat, give harvest offerings, visit a farmers market, and collect seeds.

Mabon (Sept 21 - Sept 23): The seventh sabbat is Mabon, which welcomes the fall equinox. This is the major season of the harvest. Believers will dress and eat lavishly to celebrate the bounty of life. The days are getting shorter and the nights become longer by this point. Witches and practitioners would set up altars with Mabon symbols, express gratitude, and consider sharing their bounties with others, while also reflecting on balance and the changing of longer/warmer days to shorter/colder days. They would also meditate, go apple picking, donate, and have walks in nature as autumn sets in.

Samhain (October 31 - November 1): The eighth and final sabbat is Samhain. This holiday aligns with present day Halloween, and the traditions of today were present in Halloween’s ancestor, Samhain. In Gaelic origins, the veil between the profane world and the spirit world becomes thin and spirits of loved ones along with malicious spirits emerge from the veil. Worshipers disguise themselves with animal masks, going door to door asking for gifts, turnips were jack-o-lanterns, and a bonfire was lit to celebrate the end of summer. Essentially, Samhain was a celebration of the dead. Not only that but it was also the end of the Pagan year so Samhain was essentially the first New Years Eve. On this day, practitioners and witches would honor their ancestors, perform divination, host bonfires, feast, carve and light pumpkins, give out treats, and engage in releasing/renewing rituals. They would also commemorate the dead and disguise themselves as they go out for all spirits from the other side have come out, both good and malicious. This holiday coincides with All Hallows Eve, where the themes of costumes, giving treats, and carving/lighting pumpkins are passed down to present day Halloween.

And then we go back to Yule to start all over again! Thank you for coming along and reading this blog to educate yourself on the 8 Sabbats of the wheel of the year! It's a really fascinating way to celebrate the seasons and while some witches/practitioners may do things a little differently depending on their practices or beliefs, this wheel is sort of a universal use that can go any which way! As was seen, this wheel of the year came from Pagan beliefs, ranging from Celtic to Anglo-Saxon to even Germanic. Of course while this wheel is universal, different cultures celebrate the seasons and their peaks in different ways. I definitely encourage researching on those topics!

Thanks again for sticking long enough to read and learn more about witches! Blessed Be!

The Anglo-Saxon Rune poem.

Now this isn’t the only rune poem in existence there is Norwegian and Icelandic rune poems. Now I prefer Anglo-Saxon and believe it to be more accurate but there’s nothing wrong with reading the Norwegian or Icelandic and choosing it. But these said poems won’t have all the runes associated with the poems even some extra Runes or less than of the traditional Aetts. But right now I’m focusing on a the Elder Futhark which is all included in the Anglo-Saxon poem at times different names and translations.

This poem is also Galdr and speaking the poems you’re essentially invoking and evoking them. Runes are very powerful letters and magical symbols that must be treated with high respect. Some can be dangerous to use like ᚦ. It’s also used for anyone who wants to study and learn the runes in depth, reading the poems can gather your own interpretation of them. Also the Anglo -Saxon includes a few extra runes. I recommend if you were to use the actual Anglo Saxon Runes look and study the runes because yes it is describing the same rune some don’t look like the Elder Futhark, for instance Ansuz (Elder Futhark) and Aesc (Anglo Saxon) are the same rune but different name or meanings. Anglo Saxons did recreate the Ansuz rune but just putting it out there just because I'm putting the Elder Futhark runes doesn't equal to what that Anglo Saxons used.

ᚠ᛫ Feoh or Fehu - Cattle are compensation for everyone though each man shall greatly share his if he will be awarded honors from his Lord.

ᚢ ᛫ Ur or Uruz - Aurochs is brave and has horns above, this very firece animal fights with its horns, a great wanderer of the moors, it is a proud creature.

-------------------------------------------------

Additional runes to the Elder Futhark set

Ac - Oak is on Earth for the children of men, meat-animal's fodder it travels often over the gannet's bath, the sea tests whether the oak possesses noble truth. (The rune looks like F but the small arm on top is hooked like a check mark or small v and the bottom one is slanted like Ansuz.)

Aesc - Ash Tree, is lofty, glorified by men stiff in its trunk, it holds its position exactly, although it fights against many men. (I explained at top, this rune looks exactly like the Elder Futhark Ansuz - ᚨ)

Ear - The Ground is loathsome to all men, yet certainly the body will e set upon there, the corpse grows old, the soil accepts its pale bed-fellow, it leaves fall, pleasure depart, men cease to be. (This rune looks like ᛏ but the two small arms are hooked that look like small Vs or check marks)

And that’s it! I do recommend reading other translations and the other rune poem, at times different translations can be worded much better and help to understand a lot better. If you don’t really like the rune poem on this blog there’s nothing wrong either checking out Norwegian or Icelandic rune poems and to see if it will help you better!
