Opinion: The World Tree and the State of Affairs

By Karl E. H. Seigfried | July 23, 2022

We, the people, are down here under the massive roots of the World Tree. In this vision, we are not at the center of creation. We are not even at the center of attention.

Opinion: Thor, Odin, and the High Cost of Fundamentalism

By Karl E. H. Seigfried | June 25, 2022

Karl E.H. Seigfried delves into the ways we interpret and misinterpret the texts that shape our lives – whether those texts are Old Icelandic poems or the Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.

Column: The World Tree, Heimdall, and All of Us

By Karl E. H. Seigfried | January 29, 2022

“The earth rotates around an axis drawn from the south pole, through the planet, out the north pole, and up to the pole star. With a bit of imagination, diagrams of this world axis show a trunk with roots in the earth and the pole star at the top of the leader. Old Icelandic poetry tells us of the mighty measuring tree. The growth and life of this tree parallel the growth and life of this world, and none know where to find the beginning point of its roots.”

Tarot of the Week

Tarot of the Week

Deck: Tarot of The Golden Wheel, by Mila Losenko, published by U.S. Games Systems, Inc.

Card: Knight of Wands

This week has the potential to be littered with acts that are the result of impatience and impulsiveness if not kept in check. While there is nothing wrong with getting psyched about an upcoming event or being very passionate about a project, it will be important to know when to rein oneself in. The energy of the week itself can be useful for inspiring others and reminding us all of why any mission banner was taken up to begin with.

In contrast, unbridled enthusiasm coupled with impulsive and restlessness is liable to be a toxic combination. The risk of making terrible choices and decisions is likely to be high, and may even result in long-term issues that will be burdensome. Best advice for the week: Check yourself before you wreck yourself.
