Meet the Collectives- The Stani

***New Content Added Daily***


To me, this collective has a dark, gunmetal grey colour. The rune-drakes have dark, gunmetal grey scales.


Our resident stani is Soren. He has only ever presented in the rune-drake form. Soren represents the aspect of his collective that deals with core, foundational beliefs. He uses the initials Sr.


Sr- It is funny, isn’t it, how the smallest, seemingly most insignificant of things can have the biggest impact. Much of what any given person believes is built upon deeper beliefs that were forged when they were very young. In some cases, these core beliefs were imprinted when they were still in the womb. Yes, that’s perfectly possible. Everything is energy and energy can easily be imprinted. What a mother feels, so, too, does it get imparted to the child within. If the mother goes through the pregnancy resentful of the child she carries, that gets imprinted and forms a very deep foundational belief, likely of not being good enough, or being unlovable or unwanted. Likewise, a mother who goes through a pregnancy full of joy at the new life she carries will impart that joy to her child, forming a deep belief of being loved, cherished, of being good enough.


If you are lucky to have foundational beliefs that support your behaviours in a beneficial fashion, you’re doing good. My guess is, deep down, there are at least a few foundational beliefs that could do with some changing. Have you ever desired to make a behavioural change, yet seemed unable to get it to stick, no matter what you tried? You may have changed the beliefs closest to those behaviours, but if you don’t change the erroneous foundational belief, the undesired behaviour will inevitably return. Working with Stan energy can help you unearth your foundational beliefs. Once you find them, you can work on changing them, making use of Cweorth energy, of course! You’ll find, once you pull the support that these foundational beliefs provide, that a whole host of beliefs and behaviours go toppling down with them. Be sure to put a beneficial foundation back in place!


Questions to consider when working with Stan- What are the keystones in your life? What beliefs, likely deeply rooted, are the pillars that support all else in your life? Do you need to change these keystone beliefs? Have they become detrimental to your growth and well-being? Do you need additional support in your life at the moment, or to offer it to another? Are you respectful of the keystones in your life, be they people, places, etc.. and of the function they serve, or do you take them for granted, expecting they will always be there just because they always have?

Meet the Collectives- The Cweorthi

***New Content Added Daily***


To me, this collective has a vibrant fiery red-orange color. The rune-drakes have fiery red-orange scales.


Our resident Cweorthi is Calciferus, or simply Cal for short. He has only ever appeared in a rune-drake form. Calciferus represents the concept of alchemic calcination, and its function in humanity. He uses the intials Cal.


Cal- Like Ear, our collective is one of death and rebirth, of the more phoenix-flamboyant type. We are swift destruction, we are purifying flame. Sometimes… most of the time… people need a good, swift kick to get them out of a rut. If you ignore early warning signs that change is necessary, you invite greater and greater energetic imbalances. Sooner or later, the energy of our collective will work to set things back to rights.


Wait around for that to happen, and you might not like the results you get. Work actively with the energy of Cweorth and the results are that much greater. Think of it in terms of an accidental wildfire that, while beneficial for future plant growth by culling a dense forest, rages out of control, doing a large amount of collateral damage versus a controlled wildfire, set for the exact same purposes of cleansing and promotion of new growth. With the latter, there is far less unnecessary damage.  Learning the basics of spiritual alchemy, in any flavour, can help you begin to work with the energy of Cweorth in a most beneficial fashion. It won’t be easy, but it will be worth it.


Questions to consider when working with Cweorth- Do you have any bad habits that need to be ‘burned away’? Do you often feel as if you are in a rage all the time, or that nothing ever seems to go right for you? Are there any emotional or spiritual impurities that you need to release?

Meet the Collectives- The Osi

***New Content Added Daily***


To me, this collective has a pale blue energy, that is slightly darker than the colour of Ansuz. The rune-drakes have powdery-blue scales, also darker than the ansuzi.


Our resident osi is Selena. She pulled her form from my mind, choosing to look like Seven of Nine, from Star Trek: Voyager. She represents the aspect of her collective that deals with learning to effectively speak one’s own truth. She uses the intials Sl.


Sl- Contrary to the belief of many, wisdom and knowledge are not the same thing. You may have a wealth of knowledge, but if you do not know how to apply it efficiently, you lack wisdom. You may also possess little ‘knowledge’, yet be a very wise person. Wisdom comes from cultivating effective communication skills, learning to see the big picture and, above all else, realizing that each and every person is living their own truth, which may not be the same as your own. Truth is still simply a matter of perception and all living things function from different perceptions, which are shaped by beliefs. There is no such thing as a true belief. Realizing and embracing this fact is a true mark of wisdom. It frees you to not have to be ‘right’, nor to make others ‘wrong’, simply because they do not share your beliefs. A person’s beliefs are shaped by their experiences, most of which are subjective. This includes things that might, at first, seem quite external. Lady Cala has already given an excellent example regarding how different conditions can cause a human to perceive the sky quite differently. Absolutely everything in this world, and all others, is the same. Perceptions shape beliefs, beliefs shape a person’s reality, but your perceptions do not shape another person’s reality. Learn to be understanding of different ways of being.


Likewise, learn to speak your own truth without fear. It is yours. Own it. Embrace it. Sometimes, this can be very difficult to do, because of pressures to conform. Trust your instincts. Trust yourself. Refrain from buying into, or professing belief in, something you are not confident in. Never let another tell you that your beliefs are wrong, just because they do not share them and cannot fathom them. The most important thing, which should go without saying, is that your beliefs are ethically and morally based, yet even that can be seen as perception.


Questions to consider when working with Os- Do you understand the difference between knowledge and wisdom? Consider the quote by Socrates- “The only true wisdom is in knowing that you know nothing.” What does it mean to you?  How do you speak your own truth? Do you use your words wisely or carelessly? Do you use the knowledge you have gathered wisely or carelessly?
