Othala, Othel
January 13, 2015
The episode being released on the podcast server this week is on the Rune Othala or Othel.This Rune is the capstone of the 3rd Aett in the Elder Futhark, and is equally important in the Anglo-Saxon Futhorc. This Stave does not appear in the Younger or Armanen Rows.
This particular Rune is of extreme importance in more ways than can be described. It's mundane meaning is " ancestral property" or " homeland", but it means so much more than that. It also refers to the ancestral heritage of our entire people! I personally believe that this Stave is a sigil of the very folks soul itself! This represents the initiation into the knowledge of our place in that folks soul and the knowledge of who we really are both as individuals and as part of the collective consciousness of our people. As you listen to the broadcast you'll understand much more of what I'm talking about here. The previous Rune we talked about dealt with the light of day and the paradox of light and darkness being the same (only our perception due to our dualastic mindset do we see the difference which is in itself illusionary) may as well as how are exposure to the initiation of the light of day destroys the allusions of who we think we are and who we really are. The Rune we're talking about today takes things a step further to not only knowing who we are as individuals but who we are as a people collective and strong.
Until next time...
