The Saga of Vanadís, Völva and Valkyrja

interpreted from a patriarchal point of view and much has, in my opinion, been
misunderstood by both men and women, in the many different translations and
interpretation on Islandic/Norse mythic history, that are around. On the other hand I
believe we have to be careful in our innovative viewing and weaving, especially when
new interpretations are created from old translations or without any direct knowledge of
the original texts. I believe it is of utmost importance to always stay open to what the
original texts inspire in me and mirror those inspirations and feelings in my dreams and
visions, in other people’s ideas and, from the creative space of my womb, weave them
into a pattern.
The language of the Goddess – awakening the völva
Broader than reform, deeper than revolution, this benign [Aquarian] conspiracy for a new human
agenda has triggered the most rapid cultural realignment in history. The great shuddering,
irrevocable shift overtaking us is not a new political, religious or philosophical system. It is a new
mind – the ascendance of a startling worldview that gathers into its framework breakthrough
science and insights from earliest recorded thought.
Marilyn Ferguson, The Aquarian Conspiracy, 1981, p.23
During the last century scientists and laypeople all over the world have been

creating a blurred image of a time long gone, yet still living in the blueprints of our
memory.
On a bright sunny morning in November 1952 James Mellaart catches the first
sight of a prehistoric settlement mound, rising 17 meters above the plain. He didn’t know
at the time, that in that mound was hidden the 9000 year old story of a civilization later to
be referred to as the Catal Hüyük culture (Mellaart, 1965).
