Chapter 7. At the Well of Urð 170
one individual whose quality of life is improved through immersion in the spiritual
philosophy/ worldview of the ancient Germanic peoples may very well be that single
butterfly whose flapping wings over the Andes precede the eventual storm of change
one often hears about in conjunction with the metaphysics of quantum mechanics.
Who knows? But, even if only the reader’s life changes for the better then the effort
of this writing has been of some worth.
Unlike the information in the preceding chapters which was presented as objectively
as possible, much of the information contained in this chapter is subjective
in its presentation. It is an introduction to how the Germanic worldview can be
synthesized and put into practice and is based, naturally, in the personal experience
of a growing number of people including the author himself. Readers are free to
interpret as they wish, creating approaches of their own, but this chapter comes
directly from the author’s personal experience and the experience of others on the
same or a similar journey, and, consequently, should be tried as it is presented before
changes or additions get made.
This system as it is presented is about experience as opposed totheory. Simply
reading the material that follows does nothing. The “armchair expert” is a modern
phenomenon, and, unfortunately, it has become the standard mode of action for
many people. Although there is much material here for the armchair expert, it is
advisable that once a reader has finished with the armchair part of the experience of
this worldview, the exercises in the next several chapters be attempted in physical,
consensus reality. The collective experience of this author and others have shown
this method to be of greatest benefit. The reader should, at least, give it a chance
before making alterations for changes made based on real experience are truly the
best method. Reading about farming is a far cry from actually having farmed, and
having a flower garden is not the same as making a living from the soil!
This chapter is also about choices both voluntary and forced. Some may simply
choose to add to their already existent worldview, broadening their knowledge base
of the cultures and practices of the world, ancient and modern; some may feel
compelled or driven to find and accept a suitable worldview because theirs is either
failing or is not broad enough in scope; and some, as was the case with this author,
may feel that there is no longer a viable set of choices and are, consequently, left
with only one if they are to continue as part of this world. Whatever the case may
be, choices are available, and they are always personal ones.
According to the Germanic worldview, one lives by accessing power/ luck from
the Flow of the Waters of Life, and knowledge, wisdom, or cunning is based on an
internalized understanding of the World Tree (space) and its currents (time). As
explained in Chapter 2, intelligence is not the same as knowledge: intelligence is
a technical skill, i.e., the ability to manipulate bits of information to a particular
