We see a tranquil ocean in different shades of blue against a dark blue horizon, with dramatic clouds. A large flock of Somateria mollissima, common eider, is foraging. It is the start of the breeding season.
Meditation on Aegir and Rán:
"The Father Ocean is a metaphor for the origin of space, heaven and the solid matter source of the Universe, his “wife”, whose name means Robbery, is the suction power within this source, that which receives life back into itself."

Juniper and other plants covering an Ice age moraine. The ocean in the background. Dramatic clouds.
This windswept coast where the juniper has learned to crawl between stones of the ice age. Teaching me the beauty of resilience.

We see a happy Bichon Havanais dog on svaberg- smooth rock slopes - disappearing into the ocean. There are dramatic clouds but the ocean is tranquil
I'm back praying in my favourite cathedral: Ytre Hvaler national park 🇳🇴.
I know every stone and every "svaberg" in this place, but seeing it through puppy's eyes, it all becomes, again, new and marvellous.

Melting snow filling the forest with steamlike mist.
Then suddenly there was blue sky and the sun made the snow boil beneath the trees.
The balance between Niflheim and Muspelheim, ice and fire, creates our liveable world - emerging out of Ginnungagap like mist.

Spring is here but still very few signs of life. An in between state. Like just before you wake up. Still in a dream.

A small river flanked by trees, mirrored in dark water. There is snow on the banks and fog.
Bleak days but snow is melting and the river #Alna is swelling with new water and renewed life.

Today spring delivered a deadly blow to winter, leaving us in a sea of slush. #animism #NewAni #Groruddalen
A White-throated dipper standing in the river Alna, surrounded by snow, ice and twigs. It is almost hidden in the picture and you can see its reflection in the dark water.
A White-throated dipper gave me a piece of its spring song this Imbolc.
In dark nordic folk music the musicians learned tunes and tunings from the spirit of the white water, and this bird wears his name, Fossekall in 🇳🇴 - the old one of the Waterfall #Alna #animism #NewAni
Two ravens in a distance sitting in a modern tower on top of a hillock with pine trees.
Norwegian ravens are extremely cautious about humans.
Once seen as ancestors. Odin's birds. With the arrival of the new faith they were seen as Satan's apostles. They have not forgotten the insult. #animism #NewAni #birds #Lillomarka #Ravnkollen
"TAPA: You just said a word there—stories. That can be a very damaging word for us because people see our stories like “once upon a time” stories. But actually, it’s the way our people talk to deliver what they’re seeing scientifically." #animism #NewAni
A snow covered frozen lake surrounded by snow covered trees with the sun low on the horizon and blue sky.
A perfect winters day here in Southern 🇳🇴. Silence, tranquility & peace, gifted by the goddess Skade and the frost giants. #animism #NewAni #Lillomarka #Steinbruvann
A grey heron standing in the dark river stream. Behind it there is fallen logs and stones covered by snow
I sure hope this lonely fisherman catches dinner, or there will be death to pay. Life along the river #Alna is harsh now, but the will to survive is strong.

Ice and Fire created the world in Ginnungagap - the great nothingness.
Strange things are brewing in the dark cauldron beneath the mirror surface. 📷:Me #animism #NewAni #Ginnungagap #Lillomarka
Low December sun creating a thin stripe of light on the forest floor. Moss and blueberry plants are covered with ice crystals.
The sun's rays penetrate deep into the forest, deep into the unconscious mind.
Touching the silence of Niflheim.
Awakening long dead ancestors for their yearly procession, or rather, I should say, their wild ride.

A hand is holding a submerged bottle in a river to fill it up. The water is dark and crystal clear and there are stones and ice.
The ancient tradition of collecting water on Christmas day from the sacred river #Alna (that I just invented.)
May it bless our home in the coming year. #animism #NewAni
"Kritikken fortæller en velkendt historie: At ethvert forsøg på at beskrive naturen som andet end mekanisk, tavs og passiv må være udtryk for romantik, irrationalitet eller new age-metafysik."

A Bichon Havanais puppy on a natural path with green moss, surrounded by blueberry plants and Norway spruce.
I sense no sorrow here, besides the human sorrow that I bring with me. The trees eat my breath as I speak. My words are mere compost to these beings.

Green trees and moss and an almost invisible path. A puppy is looking at you, as if guarding a faery pathway
Deep inside Nature where Deep solutions to Deep problems are being made. Unfathomable for my simple human consciousness.

Autumn has begun and puppy person is sporting his new raincoat. According to his news sources, along the sacred river Alna, everything is well.

We are - once again - in the hands of a cult of mad popes believing in unreal narratives willing to sacrifice anything, including our Mother Planet, for some stupid utopia.
TechBro sancte, sic transit gloria mundi!

"Næss proposed the idea of Self-realization, which extends the notion of “self” beyond the individual to include ecosystems and the Earth itself. In other words, to protect the planet is not altruism—it is self-care at a deeper level." #animism #NewAni

This use of burrs is totally on the mark 👍
Any community that doesn't have one should create such a ritual.

The 5k year old story about empire, told by psychopats, must come to an end, and we must create new stories that fits our nature:
"We’re a naturally social, altruistic, democratic species and we all have an anti-dominance intuition. This is what we’re built for.” #animism #NewAni
Lush greenery with old willows along a small river.

Lush greenery and tree roots, with a small puppy looking out on a small river.
Svartdalsparken close to the city centre, Oslo 🇳🇴 along the river Alna. It's unnaturally warm now, and the fjord is dying but here, at least, we have pristine looking nature with warblers and grey wagtails. A hopeful nature shrine in the urban jungle. #animism #NewAni
