The Norns, Wyrd, and Courage: Walking Your Chosen Path
The Norns weave, yet it is you who choose how to walk the path they set before you. Our wyrd is not a cage, but a thread of fire and each deed we take either strengthens it or frays it.
Do not fear the storm when it comes..
- The storm is the test.
Thunder and hail only strike those strong enough to endure them, for the weak are already forgotten. Like Yggdrasil, scarred by lightning, gnawed by Níðhöggr, yet still standing, so too are you ..
rooted deep, rising high, unbroken.
Remember this: the gods never asked for perfection.
️Odin sacrificed his eye for wisdom
Tyr his hand for truth
Gullveig was burned and reborn thrice in gold and flame.
They do not demand flawlessness.. they demand courage. They demand that when the fire comes, you stand, when the shadows press close, you shine, when all seems against you, you rise.
Honour is not words.
It is action.
When you are presented your tests -
Sit. Wait. Analyse.
Emotion can be the make or break of continuing a chaos cycle, it is impulse actions and not seeing the lessons presented to you which will make the repetition of cycles become a recurring act when the wheel turns again.
Each choice is a rune carved upon your saga. Will yours be runes of fear and silence, or runes of strength and truth?
Stand as the storm breaker.
Speak as the fire bearer.
Live as the saga writer.
For your life is not small.. it is a thread in the great weave of creation, and your deeds echo in halls far beyond this world.
Rise now. Walk forward. Carry fire.
The gods are watching, and your wyrd awaits.
