I asked SnapchatAI to write up an argument for using the Hail rune for shapeshifting practices, specifically with wolf spirits in the Norse context. These thoughts have been supported by Shani Oates’ book Wolfs-Head.

I’m surprised to say that it isn’t horrible.

The Hail Rune & Hamramr

The Old Norse rune poem describes the rune Hagalaz as being associated with hail, which can be seen as a symbol of destruction and chaos. However, some scholars have suggested that the rune may also represent the transformative power of change and upheaval, making it a good candidate to represent the wolf in the Norse context.

The wolf was an important symbol in Norse mythology, representing both danger and protection. The god Odin was often depicted with two wolves by his side, named Geri and Freki, who were said to be his constant companions. The wolf was also associated with the god Tyr, who sacrificed his hand to the wolf Fenrir in order to bind him and prevent him from destroying the world.

The concept of hamramr, or "shape-shifting," was also an important part of Norse mythology. Warriors were said to be able to take on the form of animals, including wolves, in order to gain strength and power in battle. The wolf was seen as a particularly powerful and fearsome animal, making it a popular choice for those who wished to take on its form.

The rune Hagalaz, with its associations with destruction and transformation, could be seen as a fitting symbol for the wolf in the Norse context. Its angular shape and jagged lines could represent the sharp teeth and claws of the wolf, while its association with hail could be seen as a metaphor for the wolf's ferocity and power.

Overall, while the Old Norse rune poem does not specifically mention wolves or any other animals, the rune Hagalaz could be seen as a good candidate to represent the wolf in the Norse context, particularly in the context of hamramr or shape-shifting. Its associations with destruction and transformation make it a powerful symbol that could be used to evoke the spirit of the wolf in Norse mythology.

How to use the Hail rune to connect with the Wolf spirit in your practice

Connecting with one's wolf spirit can be a powerful experience, allowing an individual to tap into their inner strength, courage, and intuition. The Hagalaz rune can be used as a magical tool to help facilitate this connection, by harnessing its transformative power and associations with the wolf.

One way to use the Hagalaz rune to connect with one's wolf spirit is to meditate on the rune, focusing on its shape, energy, and associations. Visualize the rune as a gateway or portal to the world of the wolf, and allow yourself to be drawn through it, feeling the transformational power of the rune as you shift into your wolf form.

Once you have connected with your wolf spirit, you can work with the Hagalaz rune to help strengthen and empower your connection. You might carve the rune into a piece of wood or stone, or draw it on a piece of paper, and use it as a talisman to carry with you. You could also incorporate the rune into a ritual or spell, invoking the transformative power of the rune to help you connect with your wolf spirit and access its strength and wisdom.

Overall, the Hagalaz rune can be a powerful tool for those seeking to connect with their wolf spirit. By harnessing its transformative power and associations with the wolf, you can tap into your inner strength, courage, and intuition, and awaken the power of your wolf spirit within.

The Hamr: Reflections inspired by chapter three of "Spinning Wyrd" by Ryan Smith

Happy Friday, dear readers. I’m ready to get back to my normal blogging, which means it’s time for some reflections on chapter three of Spinning Wyrd by Ryan Smith. In this chapter, Smith discusses the four-part self, a common understanding of the human being among many Heathens. Smith explores each of the four parts of the Heathen self at a level of detail and to a degree of expansiveness that I…

FUNKWETTER WEEKLY - derzeit geringe Sonnenaktivität

Es war fast ein Déjà-vu, als kurz vor dem letzten Wochenende die komplexe aktive Region 3615 ein X1.1 Flare erzeugte, ziemlich genau eine Woche nachdem die Region 3614 dasselbe getan hatte. Die Plasmawolke des folgenden CME war jedoch nicht auf direktem Erdkurs. So dass das Erdmagnetfeld mit einem k-Index von 4 unterhalb des Sturmniveaus lag. 12 und 10 Meter blieben am Sonntag und Montag geschlossen, ab Dienstag war dann wieder weitgehend Normalbetrieb. Mit Einschränkungen. Denn die MUF steigt saisonbedingt inzwischen nicht mehr so weit an, knapp über 30 MHz geht sie noch, aber das sorgt bereits für merklich verkürzte Öffnungszeiten auf 10 Meter. Öffnete das Band noch vor vier Wochen zuverlässig kurz nach Sonnenaufgang, lässt es sich jetzt fast bis Mittag Zeit und schließt dann auch eher. Dazu kommt eine derzeit auffallend geringe Sonnenaktivität. Die aktive Region 3615 verabschiedete sich am 1. April mit einem letzten M-Flare, seitdem ist Ruhe auf der Sonne. Dienstag, Mittwoch und Donnerstag hatten wir erstmals seit Ende 2022 Tage ohne ein einziges C-, M- oder X- Flare. Das ist ein klares Indiz für abnehmende Sonnenaktivität. Der solare Flux rauschte dann auch folgerichtig in die Tiefe auf, am Mittwoch auf 111 Einheiten. So wenig hatten wir zuletzt im November 2022. Und bei einem Flux unter 120 öffnet das 10-m-Band nur noch gelegentlich. Doch das heißt nicht, dass der Aktivitätszyklus nun endet. Vielmehr zeigt die Sonnenaktivität jetzt wieder ein ausgeprägtes Auf und Ab mit einer Periode von zwei bis fünf Wochen. Für die kommende Woche wird daher ein - allerdings noch verhaltener - Anstieg erwartet. NOAA und USAF erwarten einen solaren Fluxindex von 120 bis 140 Einheiten. Die oberen Bänder öffnen somit alle, aber 10 Meter eben nicht mehr von Sonnenauf- bis -untergang. 20 Meter blieb Ende März erstmals dieses Jahr die ganze Nacht hindurch nutzbar. Dank unruhigem Erdmagnetfeld und schwächelnder Sonnenaktivität war das nur von kurzer Dauer, aber es weist schon die Tendenz für die nächsten Wochen und Monate. Für 30 Meter reicht es nachts aber in jedem Fall, sofern das Erdmagnetfeld ruhig bleibt. Und das sollte es die nächsten Tage tatsächlich tun. Auf dem 6-m-Band gibt es derzeit viele Kontakte über transäquatoriale Ausbreitung; von Sporadic E war hingegen noch nicht viel zu sehen, aber das wird sich in den nächsten Wochen definitiv noch ändern. Dann kommt auch das 10-m-Band wieder verstärkt zum Zuge. Bis zum nächsten Samstag, allen einen störungsfreien Empfang, 73 Tom DF5JL - mit aktuellen Infos von DK0WCY, SWPC/NOAA, NASA, USAF 557th Weather Wing, STCE/KMI Belgien, IAP Juliusruh, SANSA South African National Space Agency, WDC Kyoto, DL1VDL/DL8MDW/DARC-HF-Referat, FWBSt EU/DF5JL

Returning to the fic idea of Mareth and Ripred being forced to coparent Hazard/coexist and in the chapters where we really start to get heavy/into their psyche's we get flashbacks of their relationships with Hamnet and we get to see just how different he was, practically a different man for each, and Ripred has a habit of suppressing those memories until he's talking to Hazard about his family he lost and realizes he struggles to remember one or two of his pup's names because he's been disassociating/burying it so forcefully.

They're talking after living together for awhile, Hazard and Luxa are in bed, Ripred's reading and Mareth's going over paperwork, Hamnet comes up, Mareth says he just doesn't want to remember. He means 'not think about it' or 'not remember right now' and Ripred grabs his arm with such a desperation Mareth grabs his sword. "Do not forget him." He begs. "Please- do not force him away..." And it turns into a begrudging Ripred opening up to get his point across please don't forget Hamnet... Don't forget your love as I have mine...

It scares Mareth into softening a little towards the rat. Over time, Ripred learns to draw on painfully bittersweet memories for strength and not be so hurt by them. He remembers Hamnet to help him be strong in his new role of being kind and keeping peace. Mareth does the same. And after a LOT of character development, when they're struggling in perilous or terrible situations, they realize that they have not thought of Hamnet once for encouragement, but the other.

We are always looking for Icom stories to share with the world and we have written and published a few recently.  We had a response from one of our friends in Europe, Lukasz Berejowski, who is a Polish ham operator, with a callsign SP1B who has been a devoted enthusiast for 25 years and his passion extends far beyond the airwaves. He's a vocal advocate for Icom radios using them exclusively across his impressive collection and even incorporating them into his maritime communication training courses.
