"For the sake of Honor, a Virtuous Man will stand his Ground and perform brave deeds. But as we have noted before, there is a name for those who carry this sort of quality to the extreme, being absolutely without fear, not even being afraid of earthquakes or waves.. These are the Celts"

This music track is designed to strengthen spellwork, meditation and ritual calling dedicated to the God Apollo. Add the power of Abaddon-Apollo to appropriate spiritual operations

The best time to contact Apollo is 20-24th of April. He likes gold, yellow and blue candles. His planet is primarily Mercury with Sun, Saturn and Pluto (for destructive magick). His metals are Quick Silver and Gold, Elements Air and Fire. His symbols are Lion, Winged Serpent and the Scorpion

Despite his well known fearsome reputation among the heirachy of the Gods, he is really safe, freindly and loving to those who approach him with courtesy and respect same for the other Gods of the 72

If soul not mortal is, and winds its way Into the body at the birth of man, Why can we not remember something, then, Of life-time spent before? why keep we not some footprints of the things we did of, old? But if so changed hath been the power of mind, That every recollection of things done is fallen away, at no overlong remove. Is that, from what we mean by death. Wherefore 'tis sure that what hath been before hath died, and what now is, is now create

Hot take: Persephone loved Hades from the beginning (she just wasn't aware of it at first)
The plot thickens: as well as Neanderthal DNA ending up in modern humans, seems that very ancient human DNA ended up in early Neanderthals.

The Visigoths killed off a significant portion of Homo neanderthalis (nephilim). As a consequence, the small remaining population had to interbreed with existing Homo sapiens to continue the existence of their bloodline and genetics.
These violent delights
have violent ends,
And in their triumph die,
like fire and powder,
Which as they kiss consume.

Thinking about the Aegean Sea...
Valravn, the “war raven” or "raven of the fallen"

This supernatural being from Scandinavian/Danish folklore is neither inherently benevolent nor malevolent. The Valravn embodies the cunning and intelligence of the raven while also possessing the power to shapeshift and influence the world around them.

Valravns are capable of assuming various forms, most notably those of a raven, a human, and sometimes a wolf or a hybrid creature. In their raven form, they are indistinguishable from ordinary ravens, while in their human form, they may bear subtle raven-like features, such as dark hair, sharp eyes, or a mysterious aura.

Valravns are born when a raven consumes the heart of a fallen warrior. Upon consuming the heart, the raven undergoes a transformation, gaining supernatural powers, enhanced intelligence, and the ability to shapeshift. This process also imbues the Valravn with the memories and knowledge of the fallen warrior, making them formidable and insightful beings.

Powers and Abilities:
Shapeshifting: Valravns can assume various forms, including those of a raven, a human, and other creatures.

Longevity and Regeneration: They possess a form of immortality, as well as the ability to heal from wounds or illnesses.

Heightened Senses: Valravns have enhanced senses, strength, and agility, which serve them well in both combat and everyday life. They have the power to communicate with and control ravens and wolves.
🐦‍⬛🐦‍⬛
Feeding Habits:
Valravns feed on the essence or spirit of fallen warriors, which sustains their supernatural abilities and vitality. In the absence of such a source, they resort to stealing the milk of goats as an alternative form of nourishment.

Society and Culture:
Valravns may form their own secret societies or clans, each with its own beliefs, customs, and hierarchies. They have a complicated relationship with human society, sometimes living among them in disguise or observing them from a distance. Their moral alignments and motivations vary, reflecting the complexity of human nature.

Runes that are the most useful:
Algiz (ᛉ): The rune that represents protection and warding off evil. This rune could be used as a protective symbol against Valravns, as it might weaken their powers or prevent them from entering an area where the Algiz rune is displayed. In addition, weapons or talismans engraved with this rune could be more effective against Valravns.
Eihwaz (ᛇ): The rune of the yew tree is associated with transformation, defense, and connection between life and death. This rune is used to disrupt the Valravns' shapeshifting abilities or counter regeneration. Hunters might inscribe Eihwaz on their weapons, armor, or protective charms to shield themselves from the Valravns' supernatural abilities.
Raidho (ᚱ): The rune of travel and movement, may be used to restrict or control the Valravns' movements, trapping them in a specific area or from accessing their powers. This rune can be used in binding rituals or spells or im conjunction with other runes to create a barrier/trap.
