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.
The Death of Sappho by Miguel Carbonell Selva 1881
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

“The unwise man is awake all night, and ponders everything over;
when morning comes he is weary in mind, and all is a burden as ever.”

― Hávamál
“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.

"Rotting bodies of enemies
Cannot smell sweet enough to me
What is the price of a friend?
Who would carry out revenge?
In this bleak world of absent laws
One in which the just are whores
An honor to die for the truth
Eye for an eye, tooth for tooth"

"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
"When your life is flashing before your eyes, you’re gonna be thinking about the great things that you did, the horrible things that you did & the emotional impact that someone had on you & that you had on someone else. Those are the things that are relevant."

PART NINE

5. The Principle of Rhythm

"Everything flows, out and in; everything has its tides;
all things rise and fall; the pendulum-swing manifests in everything; the measure of the swing to the right is the measure of the swing to the left; rhythm compensates."

-The Kybalion.

"This Principle embodies the truth that in everything there is manifested a measured motion, to and fro; a flow and inflow; a swing backward and forward; a pendulum-like movement; a tide-like ebb and flow; a high-tide and low-tide; between the two poles which exist in accordance with the Principle of Polarity described a moment ago.

There is always an action and a reaction; an advance and a retreat; a rising and a sinking. This is in the affairs of the Universe, suns, worlds, men, animals, mind, energy, and matter. This law is manifest in the creation and destruction of worlds; in the rise and fall of nations; in the life of all things; and finally in the mental states of Man... "

"(and it is with this latter that the Hermetists find the understanding of the Principle most important).

The Hermetists have grasped this Principle, finding its universal application, and have also discovered certain means to overcome its effects in themselves by the use of the appropriate formulas and methods.

They apply the Mental Law of Neutralization. They cannot annul the Principle, or cause it to cease its operation, but they have learned how to escape its effects upon themselves to a certain degree depending upon the Mastery of the Principle.

They have learned how to USE it, instead of being USED BY it. In this and similar methods, consist the Art of the Hermetists. The Master of Hermetics polarizes himself at the point at which he desires to rest, and then neutralizes the Rhythmic swing of the pendulum which would tend to carry him to the other pole.

All individuals who have attained any degree of Self-Mastery do this to a certain degree, more or less unconsciously, but the Master does this consciously, and by the use of his Will, and attains a degree of Poise and Mental Firmness almost impossible of belief on the part of the masses who are swung backward and forward like a pendulum.

This Principle and that of Polarity have been closely studied by the Hermetists, and the methods of counteracting, neutralizing, and USING them form an important part of the Hermetic Mental Alchemy."

-The Kybalion
