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.

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.

That impossible predator
Eros the Limb-Loosener.
Bitter-sweetly and afresh
Savages my flesh.
Like a gale smiting an oak
On mountainous terrain,
Eros, with a stroke,
Shattered my brain.
But a strange longing to pass on
Seizes me, and I need to see
Lotuses on the dewy banks of Acheron.
Sappho

“I would never die for my beliefs, because I might be wrong.”
Bertrand Russell’s famous quote sums up most of what I find detestable about “modern thought.”
The statement manages to be both weak and condescending at the same time - his own uncertainty still signaling superiority over those who believe in anything as “lesser.”
The great divide between men of action and the effete and ironic modern “intellectual” comes down to confidence, certainty, and a wholehearted belief in one’s own destiny and deed.
The Diamond-hard mind that knows and furiously drives toward *doing*, versus the tremulous and the timid who constantly only ask “why?” and only answers: “we can’t know that for certain.”

We live in an age of decline.
The Norse called it the Wolf Age, where the forces of chaos are unleashed and devour the forces of order.
The Vedas call it the Kali Yuga – the Age of Strife, where virtue and tradition are eclipsed by selfishness and greed.
The Greeks called it the Iron Age, and described a time where brother fights brother, and evil reigns supreme.
But all is not lost.
For just as our most ancient myths predict and describe this Dark Age, they likewise foretell its death – and, more importantly, a rebirth.
The men and women who survive the coming upheaval will go on to build a new world: a world of beauty, truth, and endless regrown forests, where the Gods return to dwell with and within us.
To reach this new world we must remember only one maxim – but it must be applied with pure hearts, and ruthless severity:
Dark Age Tactics, Golden Age Ideals.

"The only thing that matters today is the activity of those who can ‘ride the wave’ and remain firm in their principles, unmoved by any concessions and indifferent to the fevers, the convulsions, the superstitions, and the prostitutions that characterize modern generations.
The only thing that matters is the silent endurance of a few, whose impassible presence as ‘stone guests’ helps to create new relationships, new distances, new values, and helps to construct a pole that, although it will certainly not prevent this world inhabited by the distracted and restless from being what it is, will still help to transmit to someone the sensation of the truth – a sensation that could become for them the principle of a liberating crisis."
Julius Evola
