All through the night, seeing the darkness with new eyes. Sounds ring in my ears. Like a new born child, the world opens up to me. Discovering the wonders of life all over again. As the moon glows overhead. Running playfully in the forest as her light guides me. Stopping only to drink from a slow moving stream and to eat my prey. As I come to an open field, I howl to the moon and all her glory. Not wanting to return to my other form. The comming of the day. Planting my feet into the solid ground. I see the morning light. My crys echo through the trees. My hair falls to the earth beneath me. My skin going from a grey to a tan skin colour. Only a few minutes of sadness. The time of dawn, just as dusk. When my human shape emerges. Minutes that seem to be an eternity of lonliness. Just as I begin to cope with the emptiness, my skin starts to turn blue. Wings sprout from my back. Rays of sunlight glimmer from my scales that now cover my body. I start to run again but this time not far. My wings start to expand. Taking to flight. All through the day, seeing the light with new eyes. Distant sounds far away and but also so near. Like a new born child, the world opens up to me. Discovering the wonders of life all over again. As the sun shines above. Soaring happily through the sky as his light guides the way. Stopping only to drink from the ocean and eating fish that get stuck in my mouth. I come to land again, just as the sun starts to set. Landing gently in a meadow, I roar to the moon that starts to come forth. Not wanting to return to my other form. The coming of night. Planting my feet in the ground. I see the darkness come. My growls echo through the sky. My scales start to fall to the ground......... Another Cycle..... Another Night....
Nine Virture of Asatru to live by-
1) COURAGE
By facing Iife's struggles with courage, we constantly extend our capabilities. Without courage, nothing else can be done!
2) TRUTH
Blind faith has no place in Asatru. No pie-in-the-sky; we must act in this world as we see it and as it really is rather than calmly wait for the next.
3) HONOR
We must be true to what we are, and we insist on acting with nobility rather than baseness. Our standards must be banners held high in our hearts.
4) FIDELITY
We stand true to our faith and our values. Loyalty is the basis for all enduring human activity, and we hold it in the highest esteem.
5) HOSPITALITY
The isolation and loneliness of modern life is not necessary. The willingness to share what one has with ones' fellows, especially travelers, is a vital part of our way of life.
6) DISCIPLINE
We hold to the discipline necessary to fulfill our purpose. We stand willing to exercise the self-control and steadfastness necessary in these difficult times.
7) INDUSTRIOUSNESS
Let us dare to be all that we can be! Let us take risks and taste the richness of life. Passivity is for sheep. We refuse to be mere spectators in life.
8) SELF-RELIANCE
We depend on our own strength and character to achieve our goals. We seek only the freedom necessary to our quest, whatever it may be.
9) PERSEVERANCE
We hold to our path until its completion and are not ashamed to be strong. The cult of the anti-hero will find no support in us, and the gods we follow are not for the weak
