A Message from Odin - 12th September 2025

“Listen now.

Not with your ears..

with your blood.”

You walk among ruins and call them temples.

You echo names you do not honour.

You light fires in the dark,

then curse the shadows they cast.

I am not the god of comfort.

I am not the god of safety.

I am the god of awakening and that is never painless.

You asked for wisdom?

I gave you silence.

You asked for signs?

I gave you disruption.

You asked for strength?

I gave you trials.

Now I ask you:

Will you rise,

or will you rot?

Will you face yourself,

or keep dressing your fear in ritual robes?

The runes were never meant to decorate.

They are scars carved into bone.

You say you want the old ways...

Then bleed for them.

Stand for them.

Become them.

The time of hollow titles and borrowed power is ending.

The mask is slipping.

The true are rising.

If you carry my name.. prove it.

Not in words.

In how you walk through fire.

— Óðinn
