IS THERE ANYTHING MORE BEAUTIFUL THAN GOLD?

Happy Freya day,

It is Friday 9/11. The last day of the week! TGIF

This day in many cultures is such a beautiful and powerful day as it marks the end of a gruelling work week and the day before the day of ‘rest’ – More on that later…

Freya, Frigg and then Latin Venus is the goddess of love, beauty, fertility, sex, war, peace, gold and seiðr (meaning the magical ability to foresee the future). This is, without a doubt, the most feminine day of the week so rightly so, it comes at the very end of the work week where after so much fight, structure and conflict that may have been needed to drive your work forwards towards success, in comes Friday where we are asked to conclude the week with grace, diplomacy and tie up lose ends in preparation for the week ahead

It is the day where you get to loosen up, review your week and step back from the fight to instead bring some balance so that come the end of the day, you can celebrate and be rewarded with a feast for all your hard efforts.

Because Freya is a goddess of love, magic, war, and independent power, working with her on a Friday is all about embracing your own worth, passion, and personal strength.

There is a tale that tells of Freya’s golden tears. That she was so in love with her husband that went missing. Her husband, Óðr or sometime odur was known to travel far and wide and often into the hidden realms. One day, he left and never came back so Freya went in search of him, asking everyone she encountered if they had seen him.

As her heart broke, she cried divine tears of amber and gold, so many tears they fell onto the earth and into the seas which is why we are blessed with so much gold in forms of rocks and drops of amber in the oceans as they come from the tears of Freya pining for her lost love.

The story shows that Freya is not just a goddess of beauty and luxury; she is a goddess who feels things very deeply. Her grief was so powerful that it created something beautiful and valuable that the world still treasures today.

Eventually, the myths say Freya did find Óðr far away in the south, and her joy was restored. But her scattered golden tears remained behind as a reminder of her love.

It is also interesting to mention that Óðr and Odin might actually be the exact same person. If you travel back to Wednesday (Wodensday, Odin day,) you will find the depictions of the all father god Odin, who was said to be Freyas husband. Odin was also a traveller into other realms and often known to disguise himself as a form of protection As he wandered the world for months or years at a time

Odin and Freya did not live together – How about that in modern times haha I have a post to follow about SHOULD WOMEN AND MEN SHARE THE SAME SPACES??? but while Odin rules Asgard from his high throne, fights giants, and gathers dead warriors in Valhalla, Freya lives in her own castle (Fólkvangr), rides in a cat-chariot, and cries golden tears for her missing Óðr, not Odin

So whether you are a man or woman reading this, on this day honoured to her, we are asked to get emotional about our stuff, feel the feels of the week rather than just force action or strategise tasks or comply with manual, physical labour rather, slow the week down.

Complete your tasks with grace pace. Turn up to work wearing something really freaking gorgeous, make efforts to place some luxury in the day instead of grind. Instead of building, GROW

Take an extended lunch break today. Clock off early. Go get an afternoon hair appointment. Have a glass of wine with lunch. Buy yourself of your loved one some flowers to bring home for the sweet weekend. Treat yourself to a fancy ass dinner tonight and a bar of chocolate to eat in bed later. Get the silks out, draw the curtains, light the candles, clean the house, prep for the weekend for tomorrow is a very different kind of day but today, let yourself get a little bougie!

As she was also the seer, a master of seiðr and is credited with introducing this prophetic, fate-weaving magic to the other gods, including Odin (remember, it all starts with women gifting this rite to men) she offers you the ability to foresee the week ahead so……..

When you work today, do so intuitively. Trust your gut! Make sure that any work you do today is done from your intuition and clair abilities so that whatever it is you are working on now and for the coming week ahead can be sensed rather than operationally thought or applied. Get creative, tap into your emotions, get crafty and allow the day to flow rather than function.

It is no surprise that the end of the weekly endeavours would be finalised by a woman, through the femenine archetypes and energies as let’s be fair, that’s where they started too and that after all the grim graft that has otherwise powered through the week, the final review will be one done in sophisticated style and sensory seduction!

So while yesterday, we wielded Thors hammer to get shit done, today, the hammer is put back in the locker room and instead we are bringing out the silks, we are wearing the gold, we are singing a softer song as we look forward to a decadent feast to celebrate our accomplishments later on today!

Tonight, I am going out for dinner to celebrate our best friends daughter turning 16. I already know I am having the rack of lamb followed by a sweet pistachio honey parfait and a glass of rose.

And in case you didn’t know, the Greek equivalent of Freya, Frigg, Venus is in fact Aphrodite where the myth tells that she was born on the shores of Paphos, Cyprus, island of copper where she rules our seas and fills our lands with roses, olive trees and honey galore!

I just so happen to live here on this very island, ON THESE VERY SHORES so this morning while I was on my morning walk, I stopped to pick some flowers to the Friday goddess and then I lit a candle and had a long conversation with her so that come the end of the day, i can go for my feast of love on our very love island

My friday bunch of sunrise flowers from the shores of Paphos for all of you 🙂

I also wrote the book ‘MIGHTY APHRODITE, that tells the tale of Aphrodite from the perspective of this island but at the moment, I am doing some edits on it so I will be re-releasing it shortly, hopefully by the beginning of October, which also just so happens to be Libra season (Freya / Venus / Aphrodite month) and I also happen to be a libra rising so very fitting…..Updates to follow for those interested…

But please spend today focused more on love than war, gentle grace than fast pace, softness than strive and bring some peace into your hearts so that you can kick back and enjoy the weekend in style!

I will finish this off with a story about cats, as Freya travels on a chariot pulled by cats. I am called Kat and am both a cat and dog person but my main cat, the queen of the cluster only tends to like me. She is a bit of a bitch to everyone else to be honest. This morning, she came to me as I started writing this and placed her forehead on my nose and stayed there softly for a good few moments before sloping away. A Friday blessing

Below, I will insert a piece by a friend online who is also called Cat. Philosiphicat where she posted;


Cats vibrate on a very spiritually high frequency. If you are a man, you must have attained a certain level of consciousness before cats will be attracted to you and you to them. You must achieve a certain level of balance with your inner feminine, which necessitates strengthening your inner masculine. In doing this, you attract the attention of Freya. If she deems you worthy as a man in the higher sense, you will find that the Cat Distribution System opens a portal near you. A cat may come to you and refuse to leave or you may have the impulse to go and get one. Either way, this is a sign of your initiatic potential. Women, on the other hand, are generally predisposed towards cats regardless of their individual spiritual quality. Cats and women gravitate towards each other for a different reason, which is that they are made of the same essential substance of Matter, and therefore share an ontological resonance. You will find cat ladies at all levels of spiritual development (or lack of thereof). However, if a woman dislikes cats or they dislike her, it is a sign of corrupted femininity. Freya has cursed her.

And then: Freya was the 7th most popular girl name for babies in 2022. Went up to 5th in 2023. The most popular theophoric name in Britain by far but I doubt even 10% of the parents know who the goddess is! For goddes sake, remember!

“Be with me always—take any form—drive me mad! Only do not leave me in this abyss, where I cannot find you!” Emily Bronte

Love never strives after something; it does not make itself perfect. It is the flame without the smoke.

Can love be divided into the sacred and the profane, the human and the divine, or is there only love? Is love of the one and not of the many?

RIDERS ON THE STORM!

Blessed Thursday storm troopers!

Well, what a day so far! This week has been the week where I have gone through all the gods and their significant days and honourings. Yesterdays Odin, Mercury, Hermes day saw a piece called ‘Own your mind, change the world‘, because, as the God of transumtational alchemy, mind mastery and the all seeing all knowing, it is the day to put your magic into practice through writing, poetry, conversation, reading, spellcrafts, sigils, wisdom and intentional awareness!

But today is the day the Olympic games begin!

This week has been the first week after a long, hard summer where the kids have gone back to school and my early morning walks resume. I will not lie, it has not been an easy transition to 5am starts or any form of movement after an unbearable summer locked in one room that delivers aircon with very minimal movement because I am not a heat person so my bones and muscles are no longer used to this however, I have got up and done it…

Each day has been a tough start, my hips have hurt, my ankles feel weird but I told myself that I just need to keep going and it will get back to being easy like it was before the heat killed me. Yesterday was by far the worse day as I also swam and did some serious hip openers but this morning, Thursday, I bolted out of bed with lightning in my veins!

I AM ELECTRIC!

Zeus has a rule that one must never disregard a beggar or a stranger seeking shelter for you never know, they could be gods in disguise. He has a rule called ‘Xenia’, meaning guest friendship and he placed these qualities in his children, the travellers and hospitable folk, otherwise known as those falling under the sign of Pisces and Sagittarius, for they are ruled by the planet Jupiter, his latin counterpart. He is also the planet that rules large animals, majestic beasts and domestic pets and he is also the ruler of the weather, controlling the skies, thunder and storms!

If you are also born on a Thursday, you are indeed ruled by Jupiter. I am a Sagittarius born on a Thursday so I am a child of this god and a lover of all folk and beast that wander wild and free, the storms the skies and the creatures of the fields.

Which is why today, I am writing this to you!

Thursday, THORSday is the day of the protector of the realm! The king and the warrior, the defender of chaos and the preserver of order. He expects his people to work hard and rewards the worker that puts effort into hard labor and graft in the fields and communities, virtuous efforts delivering strength and fortitude to the masses so that they may receive abundance in return.

As the greater benefic, which basically means ‘the giver of good things’ he is known to bring a sense of divine protection, luck, and a safety net that helps you bounce back from tough times.

The quest is to armour up and seize the day by means of manual efforts. Train, move, dig, throw, lift whether that be on the land, in your home, with your work, in your mind but most importantly in your spirit. Embody the warrior and whoever crosses your path, treat them with ernest respect and consideration otherwise, you might be punished.

Jupiter daddy doesn’t like arrogant bigots that belittle others. No, he sets tests for you to redeem yourself in character and prove you are divine enough through means of how you treat others. The test may look like this, and I will base it off the Odyssey, which most of you are now familiar with:

The test: When Odysseus finally returns home, he disguises himself as a dirty beggar.
The bad guys: The mean suitors treat him terribly, throw a stool at him, and mock him.
The warning: One of the suitors gets nervous and warns the others that the beggar might be a god in disguise checking on their behaviour.
The lesson: The suitors fail the test, and Odysseus punishes them later for breaking the rules of hospitality.

Let’s just say, if you’re a sucky king or queen, you will pay divine consequence! Hmmmm, let’s see! Let the games begin!

If you want to honour the gods on this fine Thursday, depending on which clan you’re from aka, Latin, Greek or Nord in your blood, you can either start the day with:

PHYSICAL EXERCISE – Get outside and move! And when you do, write a T or a Z in the sky so that your god see’s your message of intention. (T= Thor, Z= Zeus, Z being the lightning bolt)

BE HOSPITABLE AND RESPECTFUL – Whoever crosses your path, honour them. Help where help is needed. Protect your community and all those within it. If there are conflicts that arise, stand true to the quest of resolution and justice. Be not afraid and wear your suit of armour to protect you and others!

SPENT TIME WITH ANIMALS – Walk your dogs, listen to the birds, daddy rules the sky so look up! Walk with the cows, horses and goats. Drink goats milk and pour a glass for him to in honour and thanks and in return he will repay you. He likes beer and wine too!

WORK HARD – Whatever it is you do, do it well! Put your back into your labor and tasks. Make efforts to build projects up and elevate them and do so with integrity and authenticity. He knows when you’re bullshitting and faking so do the job properly with honest intention!

STUDY HARD – Learn stuff! Expand your mind! n astrology, Jupiter governs the 9th House, which is the house of higher education, philosophy, religion, and deep belief systems.

While the planet Mercury (Odin, Woden) rules your everyday thoughts, reading, and logical facts, Jupiter takes those facts and looks for the deeper meaning. Jupiter asks: “Why are we here?” and “What is the greater truth?”

Jupiter rules philosophy because it embodies:

  • The Big Picture: Looking at the whole universe instead of small, daily details.
  • Wisdom Over Knowledge: Turning what we learn into deep, lifelong understanding.
  • Ethics and Morals: Figuring out the right and just way for humans to live.

OFFER A BLOT -A Blót is a traditional Norse ritual where offerings are made to a deity to build a relationship based on reciprocity (giving a gift for a gift). So have a feast day with red meat, grains, onions and root vegetables! And don’t forget to leave him out some goats milk, kind of like we do for santa but every Thursday is the day to pour a glass to Zeus, Jupiter, Thor

STORM CHANTS – For the lovers of the storms, step outside during one and say thanks out loud for the sky magic! I live in Cyprus and I am currently praying for rain!

Thor represents the sudden shift into the Present. You can’t debate a thunderstorm. You can’t negotiate with a falling hammer. He forces others out of their heads and into their actions. He represents a kind of absolute truth: eventually, you have to stop defining who you are by what you say, and start defining who you are by what you do.

THE DAYS OF THE WEEK BY TRIAL AND TRIBULATION

Monday’s child poem, first recorded by A.E Bray’s traditions of Devonshire

Monday’s child is fair of face,
Tuesday’s child is full of grace,
Wednesday’s child is full of woe,
Thursday’s child has far to go,
Friday’s child is loving and giving,
Saturday’s child works hard for a living,
And the child that is born on the Sabbath Day,
Is bonny and blithe and good and gay

A more modern, regional version that puts Sunday 1st sings:

Sunday’s child is full of grace,
Monday’s child is full in the face,
Tuesday’s child is solemn and sad,
Wednesday’s child is merry and glad,
Thursday’s child is inclined to thieving,
Friday’s child is free in giving,
And Saturday’s child works hard for his living.

Im not sure about the Thursday re-write haha. Someone who takes instead of gives is the opposite of what Thursday is all about. Perhaps that is the warning?

SO, WHAT DAY OF THE WEEK ARE YOU?

This piece below was written by a guy on X that likes to speak sounds of the gods. I will share as today, he writes about how you must grip your axe and stand strong, knowing you’re protected by the ruler of Thursday and this realm! Reverant:

The Gods do not weave fates for those who lay their weapons down and wait for pity.

Drag the illusion of helplessness to the altar and sacrifice it upon the fire. To weep as a victim is sweet poison as it absolves you of your agency. Pointing outward to a bad roll of fate or the malice of others keeps the spirit chained in learned helplessness.

The strong do not wait for a merciful judgment from the assembly of sheep. From this hour, you must carry the whole weight of your fate upon your own shoulders, as the Allfather bore his trials upon the tree.

If the line breaks beside you, look first to your own grip of axe and spear… if an oath has been broken and caused you harm or loss… measure instead where your own vigilance failed and find what allowed it happen.

From this day forward, everything that happens is your fault. You will find agency there but you will never find it if you lie to yourself.

You don’t pray to Thor because you thought he loved you. No, you gave an offering to acknowledge his power and in hopes that it would tilt the scales… passing by your home bringing a gentle rain instead of a flash flood. Protecting your home and bringing ruin to your enemies. It is a relationship built on profound respect for a dangerous equal, wrapped in the language of hospitality. This worldview doesn’t demand that people change their fundamental nature to please some far off distant flawless deity. Instead, it offered a mirror to a higher being, a higher self. If you felt consumed by grief, battle-lust, passionate desire, or creative madness, you weren’t “sinning” but instead you were simply being touched by or intentionally tapping into a specific current of the universe. Become worthy of this for a new Age of Heroes is upon us – do let yourself lay broken on the shore. Get up, you aren’t dead yet. Find your brothers.

BE AUTHENTIC – BE BOLD – BE HONOURABLE – PROTECT OTHERS – OFFER SHELTER – WORK HARD – PLAY HARD – FEAST WELL

LET THE GAMES BEGIN!

OWN YOUR MIND – CHANGE THE WORLD

“A harmless man is not a good man. A very good man is a dangerous man who has it under voluntary control”

I work with diplomats. The objective towards achieving diplomacy is the ability to see things from points of view other than your own and finding reason, common interest, perspectives, clarity and truth in things that you would otherwise disagree with, perhaps couldn’t ever see and to learn from them, implement their values into wider truths and be able to communicate the all seeing, all knowing with precise accuracy, transparency and valour.

We all have different views, beliefs, opinions. We cannot ever say ‘I am right, you are wrong,‘ although its temping, for the grander picture is not only based on your own limited points of view.

Many men believe that as long as they’re good, they will win. The books have taught us this. Good, honest men kneel and submit and they will be rewarded. This could not be further from the truth. Sometimes, you have to go against the good and see, feel and understand the evil in order to become complete, whole. Everything is contrast.

The number 9 is the portal of completion. The most sacred of all numbers representing the completeness of cosmic order and the passing of time. You can only understand the complete cycle if you are willing to see the good, the bad AND the ugly.

THE HANGED MAN AND THE FOOL – THE END IS THE BEGINNING IS THE END

The fool is known is the opener – It embodies pure potential, innocence, spontaneity, wanderlust. No-one wants to be a fool though in order to seek and obtain knowledge, this is the only way. Epictetus once said ‘If you want to improve, be content to be considered foolish and stupid’.

Most people on earth have an absolute block to wisdom. They only perceive truths based on what they are told is truth and they never go out to seek it for themselves, therefore they lack sight, vision and connection. They limit themselves and their potential. So when they see or hear a wandering fool on their quest for knowledge and wisdom they laugh, for the fool is nothing more than a fool.

But the fool that wanders and opens himself up to the all seeing all knowing, outside of books, laws, concepts and doctrines explores a world outside of the box and therefore gains power and wisdom in ways that cannot be understood by others. They find it hard to put into works what they have sought and seen for often, the truth lays in visions, codes, sounds, insights and the wyrd that cannot be delivered in a textbook or assessed by a classroom teacher

The hanged man is the fool that takes all that the world has taught him and sacrificed himself for knowledge higher and further from these distorted truths. He opens himself up to the deeper magic. The vast, expansive possibilities and opportunities that exist outside of the boundaries of this realm. These insights and wisdom will only be granted to those that dare to look with eyes that possess a clarity for vision of things that others cannot see. The obscure, hidden, undiscovered, untold truths and secrets that change the world and the way we live in it.

How many will chose that path? It is a path that asks to us surrender all we think we know. Lay ourselves bare and tear away the pieces of imagined selves until we reach the a primal underneath, hang ourselves and view the world from upside down so that we may understand that not all is what we perceive it to be and only one that is brave enough to accept this challenge will be granted access to what otherwise exists beyond the superficial layer of mundane existence that good, clever men perceive to be the all seeing all knowing truth

If you want to be a diplomat, an all seeing, all knowing able communicator that has permission and access to status beyond that of the gentile man and stand higher and above others so to speak in their honour, you yourself must be honourable. That does not mean, you must be good or you must be virtuous. It means you must have laid yourself bare and stripped away your beliefs, blocks, concepts, false limiting ideals and ego driven intellect and that you are willing to accept that YOU KNOW NOTHING, for only when you know nothing can you see into the all

WEDNESDAY – WODENSDAY

THE ALL- SEEING FATHER GOD OF ALL GODS

THE MASTERMIND, who obtained all knowledge and wisdom of all 9 realms in their past, present and future times. He is known to have used magic but in fact, he broke reality. He faced the storm and gave his eye so that he may have the vision of the complete.

For 9 nights he hung upside down on the Yggdrasil tree. The The Poetic Edda explicitly calls the tree Askr Yggdrasils, which translates directly to “the ash of Yggdrasil.” The world tree that anchors the cosmos and connects the nine realms.

You may think, ‘What a load of shit while you are reading this on your commute to your 9-5 where you will complete your mundane tasks for your corporate empire that to you is the pinnacle of all that is powerful’ but, outside of you exists so much more power that you can only access if you dare to TAP IN

Wednesdays are not for mundane tasks and fair weather routines. They are for learning, development, for creative communication and mind mastery. Wednesday asks you to extend and expand and do things bigger and better but not with puff and ego, rather with precision and purpose and a whole lot of poetry and spirit.

To add into your day words that create higher magic. Intention that delivers dynamite. Awareness and strategy that transmutes the mundane into absolute power.

It’s the most potent and powerful day of the week!

HUMP DAY – Where you channel the divine and powerful into your very being and from within you express out! The mind is the most powerful zone for attraction. The usual mid-week routines and slumps around this time are asking you to lift yourself up rather than exhaust yourself down. Tap into total, uninhibited passion, for yourself, your work, your body but so much for your mind!

For if you can break away the barriers of what constrains you, you are able to see in ways you might never have thought possible! For thought and memory are 2 ravens that sit aside your shoulders and let them guide you should you so desire!

Ragnarök is the human representation of extinction! Primordial God’s would not be affected by our wars. Welcome to the nuclear winter of this world.

To all the future dipomats I will be working with over this next year, I urge you to think bigger, to aim higher and to seek truths that are outside and beyond your textbooks and law decrees for these are only fragments of what we are here to see and conquer.

Can you walk away from the compromise that violates your soul? And can you build a pyre to burn away your old identity without searing your palms on its flames? Can you break yourself open and see the divine madness come spilling out and in that fury, which is really just LOVE can you hold yourself enough to repair your spirit when it ends? 

Can you face the winds of infinity with tears of blood in your eyes and have no resentment for life? In this day and age for some of us, this is what it takes to become whole 

SAVE THE CHILD

BECOME THE KING 

SAVE THE WORLD

As today is 9/92026, please use this day wisely as it is the day you are on the final page. What happens today is a complete cycle of something you started that is about to close. Whatever that may be, fear, doubt, dread, old identities, beliefs, projects, relationships etc, TODAY is the day to call it out, draw a line under it and let it be gone because tomorrow, we have a new moon that will start a brand new cycle all over again!
