What is Galdr

 Galdr

We view Galdr as a "Set of Principles" drawn from the understanding of the

Orlog which to our teachings is the "Law of the Universe".

When we refer to "Galdr" do not just mean, "What is Done"we mean.

"How and Why" something is done. The Hafskjold Lore contains an awful

lot of tradition associations, which link concepts together.

That is: The rune Yr = The Yew Tree, The god Ullr, The Bear and the Fox,

Archery and the mind sets of the classes.These are incantations/ chanting methods;

breathing techniques. They are used in conjunction with the runic stances, in Karl,Herse, Jarl & Konge

 

I that hung on the wind tossed tree all of nine nights,

Wounded by spear, bespoken to Hos, bespoken myself to myself,

Neither horn they upheld nor handed me bread;

I looked below me - aloud l cried -caught up the runes,

Caught them up wailing, thence to the ground fell again.

 

Do you know how to read? Do you know how to cut?

Do you know how to colour? Do you know how to prove?

Do you know how to offer? Do you know how to sacrifice?

Do you know how to project? Do you know how to destroy?

The Karl is a freeman.

Traditionally the farmer but in fact anyone who has property and a business that makes him / her economically independent and thus in command of his /her own destiny .You could also say 90% of the armed forces as they will die for their country, because it is theirs .The Karl seem to be very obsessive with the ownership.

The Karl Galdr involves chanting the name of each rune, while performing the associated rune stance. It is vital in this method that a single vowel sound is used, as a change in vowel formation will alter the breath rhythm.

The Karl Galdr is primarily concerned with Health Promotion and Maintenance; it increases Megin [ intrinsic energy, basically akin to Chinese " Qi ", Japanese " Ki " ,Greek "Pneuma " , Indian "Prana " and other concepts e.g. "Kundalini ".]

The Karl Galdr is elementally very connected to the Water concept



The Herse is the Warrior

Traditionally the Herse was the lord of the manor responsible for the security and well being of the parish. These days as doctors lawyers and people who still regard the old ways of death before dishonor .In the army it would be the elite special forces. The Herse is always in control, in a martial sense it is a set of principles that allows one to perceive the reality of a situation, influence, change or control events and actions in accord with one's understanding, intention and will, to achieve a desired or needed objective
The Herse Galdr also involves chanting the names of the runes as in the Karl, but in an extended and more complex manner. This is the training for the warrior breath and is very demanding physically. In this method, megin levels are raised to an extreme, which is useful for a combat purpose but potentially not to good for ones health if over done.; for this reason the Karl Galdr is "wrapped around " the Heser breath method in this system.

Tyr : Tu-To-Te-Ta : Ut-Ot-Et-At : Tyr
Karl Vowels Vowels reversed Karl

his method is connected to the " Fire "concept.

It will also be fairly obvious that this type of formula is well known from folklore, for example the "Jack and the Beanstalk "/ "Jack the Giant Killer "verse "Fe- Fi- Fo- Fum "



The Jarl is the Earl or the priestly level most concerned with spiritual and philosophical matters.

Traditionally it meant the ruler of an area the size of a Modern County or diocese. The Jarl would be the direct representative of the King, be a member of his parliament and be in charge of the Herse in his country.The Jarl are basically non confrontational The Jarl Galdr method involves chanting the name's of the god/dess in more of a song form. This concept is more "meditative "and is basically more a form of "communion " with the God/dess ; By chanting their names they are strengthened and so are we .[note Kreft is performed silently . Felt wise to remember him but not wise to call his name. ]


This method is basically linked to the Ice concept.

The Konge way is that of pure will, he simply knows what he wants and can marshal all his resources to obtain it. Also the Konge lives on the razor edge there is a fine line between sane and insane

The Konge method is Silent it is connected to the "wind "concept



I that hung on the wind tossed tree all of nine nights,

Wounded by spear, bespoken to Odin, bespoken myself to myself,

Neither horn they upheld nor handed me bread;

I looked below me - aloud I cried- caught up the runes,

Caught them up wailing, thence to the ground fell again

Heser…Do you know how to colour? Do you know how to prove?

Jarl … Do you know how to offer? Do you know how to sacrifice?


Konge .Do you know how to project? Do you know how to destroy?
