Each of must value the power of controlling our own mind and thought processes. We are indeed the gatekeepers of our emotional states, and maintain the authority and energy to force our own paths through our lives within our own mind. Being cognizant of the influences, and our ability to power through those overwhelming emotions, allowing us to respond, gives us control.

Understanding our intrinsic capabilities of magical interfacing is as easy as it is to understand breathing. As we instinctively know, breathing in is the immediate response to breathing out. So too is the understanding of our energy interface. Being able to recognize the drawing back energies to heal oneself should be the response to sending out energies all week.

Today we embrace the physical power of the guardian of Midgard, Thor. Thor represents not only physical power, but mental strength as well. Recognizing our inner strength to choose different paths to traverse. Those paths to happiness, joy, contentment, and harmony. Strength to embrace who we are, and not surrender ourselves to the influential energies around us.

As we have learned, wisdom is simply a collection of experiences to draw upon in response to our forward path. If we are willing to accept that, then our physical life times are the gathering of these experiences that create the foundation for our wisdom. However, we must always remember, our emotions are a critical ingredient to our wisdom.

Many of us have decided to incorporate a mask into our everyday lives in hopes of being accepted by different communities within our society. Whether it be the social classes defined by high school, or our early 20s, we seek acceptance over everything else. This has led to more mental health damage than anything other single factor. Time to remove the masks and just be who we are.

Many have said to me that certain events, or experiences have “made them feel a certain way”, that they really had no choice. Our emotional journeys are ours to manage and maintain, we must take back the control and make a choice that is ours to make.

There are so many misunderstandings about the display of emotions that have come into modern life, that we hardly know what to believe. Truth is, our feelings are what construct the wisdom we carry for the rest of our lives.

Not only did the god of thunder, protector of Midgard, have physical strength, he has mental strength as well. By being disciplined within the mind he demonstrates the ability to control the influences within his thought processes, thereby allowing him to experience emotions, yet not be controlled by them.

Seeking the wisdom of Ódinn means experiencing a physical existence that receives and interprets many different events to create the chemistry needed for emotion. Our emotions is what teaches us as it manipulates all that we see and hear.

Some individuals have come to me and said that inclusion is more important than individuality, yet are finding their existence more stressful and dramatic. This one of the symptoms of not embracing our intrinsic courage as exemplified by the god Tyr.

Controlling the energies the enter, and are emitted from our minds to the world we live in takes an active role in determining what to deny, and what to absorb. The good news is that we have a choice as to what energy we want to emit. We have a choice, we can have control.

One of the key essentials of reducing anxiety within our lives is to understand the movement of a river. With its rapids, currents, eddys, and shores allows us to plainly see how our lives are interacted with many different energies, yet we will ultimately arrive in the open sea, or spiritual realm.

Many of us don’t give ourselves enough credit for the strength we possess. Some are quick to accept the societal expectations (even today) for fear of having to conflict against the modern monotheistic practices. My friends, we are much stronger than we think.

According to the legends I grew up hearing, the chieftain of the Æsir gods, Ódinn sought wisdom in many places sacrificing himself to the quest at obtaining as much as possible. He sought the experiences of discovering it.

During the times of my ancestors, they believed in a strong bond with the deities, especially the Norse god Tyr. Tyr represented and modeled the power of courage to assist us in living our own lives, unapologetically.

The Norse god Mani, who was the moon, taught us the value in establishing a balance in our lives. While his sister, Sol, the sun, heated the day enlightening our days, Mani brought the unknown, and limitless possibilities as we grew into our spiritual path.

It’s finally Friday! Or, Freyja’s day. The day we embrace the understanding of energy management to master the gift of magic. Recognizing our responsibility to draw back the energy offered throughout the week to heal ourselves too.

Today we celebrate the Norse god, Thor. He not only represented the physical power, but intrinsic, mental strength as well by believing in himself. This is the skill that we all have, as we strip away that which doesn’t serve us to reveal the authentic self.

Understanding our life long quest to apply wisdom is a critical part of our physical existence. Like Ódinn, we too must seek out life’s experiences to apply relational knowledge to our gathered past.

Today we consider the example set by the Norse god Tyr. By embracing the example of courage demonstrated by Tyr, we can truly embark on an intrinsic discovery of what makes us truly happy.
