Throughout our physical lifetimes we will need to retain a vigilant eye on the intrinsic values that we hold dear. Maintaining a courage to be honest with ourselves about the feelings we receive with our experiences.
Each of us possesses the mental authority to make conscious choices to control the energy that enters our thought process.
The control of universal energies and its understanding is what you have when you consider the goddess of love and war, Freyja. The twin sister of Freyr, Freyja brought the power of magic to both Odinn and Midgard.
Today we celebrate the strength of the Norse god Thor. Not only do we embrace his physical strength, but we need to seriously contemplate his mental strength as well.
Throughout the history of humankind there has been an innate perceived need of superiority within the minds of many, yet, it has been the sigmas of existence that has kept the balance of real power. Not by physical brutality, but by the unwavering construction of harmonious relationships. Dismissing the ego and allowing the self to be an example of the harmony building, is indeed the realization of the courage of Tyr. #forn_sidr,#akoutlaw,#spirituality,#spiritualteachings,#norse,#celtic
Within each of us lies the ability to choose how we want to feel, and how those feelings thereby alter the way we interpret our reality every moment of every day. Having the ability to redirect our thought process and train our physical mind to seek joy allows us to create the reality we see before us. Understanding our authentic self is a critical element to successfully navigating our physical life time. #forn_sidr,#akoutlaw,#spirituality,#spiritualteachings,#norse,#celtic

The strength of Thor lives within each of us. Whether it be the physical strength of a grandmother lifting a car to free their grandchild, or the mental strength to block out the toxicity of directed mental punishment, we each carry the strength represented by the Norse god Thor. Having the faith in ourselves is the key to unlocking this strength.
In this modern day, hurry up, world of a perceived necessity of inclusion we have a tendency to forget ourselves beneath the understood necessity of our social masks. This necessity creates in an in authentic version of ourselves that harbors a self image that, when demanded to meet societal needs can cause a delta between who we are, and who we are trying to be, sometimes bringing anxiety. #forn_sidr,#akoutlaw,#spirituality,#spiritualteachings,#norse,#celtic
Each week we discuss the power that the Norse god Mani brings to our understanding, yet sometimes slip into allowing the fates to control our destiny. The power to change our perspective of each present moment, and the ability to wield this weapon, lies within each of us. We each need to look intrinsically to obtain the authority to change our perspectives. #forn_sidr,#akoutlaw,#spirituality,#spiritualteachings,#norse,#celtic
