About Wolfstar The Druid |
The spiritual journey of Wolfstar the Druid:
Wolfstar the Druid
|
Firstly I will acknowledge that for some of you who are a bit more sceptical, some parts of my journey will be a little hard to believe, so I will make this statement: “that I swear on the Druid lore and the power of the runes, (that which I hold to be sacred to me) that this is the truth as it actually happened”.
My journey began, with birth, just like everyone else. In an English town called Hemel Hempsted, my Mother had tuberculosis during the pregnancy and I was not expected to survive. So I have been told by my parents, I was due to be born late February but didn’t arrive until late April. I was not affected by the tuberculosis and was born heathy. |
My spiritual journey began when I was just seven years old. My grandmother had a high brick wall at the back of her home in Brighton and I decided to climb up it and walk along the edge just like any other silly seven year old boy would, but I fell off. The fall may have been about 3 meters but I am not to sure of that, things seem larger when you are small. I did not hit the concrete at the walls base, however, I found myself hanging upside down like a bat with just the top edge of my feet over the top edge of the wall!
I was just hanging there with my nose up against the side of the wall a physically impossible position to just fall into, yet I was not afraid because I sensed that someone or something was with me supporting me If anything it seemed like fun! I also have no recollection of how I got down of the wall but I certainly did not fall off and I was completely unharmed by my experience.
That did however have a profound influence on my life, and felt somehow different from that point on like I was much older. As I grew, up I had a burning desire to know the meaning of that experience and just who or what was with me on that day. At around the age of 19, I became involved with a spiritual meditation group with a middle eastern Guru where I learned the art of meditation which has proved invaluable throughout my life, but that did not answer my questions and when I became aware they only wanted my car and money I got away from it.
About 6 years after that, pushed by my burning questions, I became involved with a Christian cult this occupied about the next 18 years of my life. The positive to this was I learned to be good public speaker and gained knowledge of the bible. I married and had two beautiful daughters who continue to enrich my life today. The negative to this cult was its mind control you are told what to think, how to live, what to do, that your life does not belong to you it must be given in service to god, this rubbish coupled with a loveless marriage almost drove me insane and my burning questions still went unanswered.
I finally broke free of that cult and also divorce to make a new start for myself but for a while I was pained by the loss of my two daughters who by then were almost grown up themselves and still involved in the cult, I just had to do what was right and true for myself, to continue living a lie was impossible and no real example to them.
After that chapter of my life, I realised I had much self-exploration to do after so many years of not being true to myself I needed to find out “Who am I”. I involved myself with groups some may consider to be darker energetically due to fear and lack of understanding. I explored what I now understand to be my shadow side, after so many years of ultra-conservatism, I now bounded the opposite way into sexual fanaticism and personal exploration of body, mind, emotion and deep spiritual connection. This provided a real short cut to finding myself as you don’t need to wait for real life experience to occur, it is possible to find real depth and meaning by acting out or playing out different roles and seeing yourself from different perspectives. I became a true master at this and I gained a great deal of knowledge and wisdom from this time period which still serves me well to this day!
During this time I also studied massage and became a therapist. Early in this, I was working on someone with bad back pain when I felt a shouting pain like electricity shoot up my arm, I immediately shook my arm, then much to my surprise the client lifted her head from the face hole and said “what have you done the pain has gone!”. That was when I really started to look into working not just on the physical but on metaphysical as well, which served to bring me back to the burning questions of my childhood experience on the wall.
I started with learning the art of Reiki then later saw a workshop advertised on Native American spirituality this really interested me and I joined the small group. Over the next few years I found several different Native American teachers both male and female each had something new to teach me I learned to practice shamanism and engage in rituals eventually running my own and teaching others. But my questions still remained unanswered and as much as I came to respect Native American spirituality (and still do) I could only bring myself to say this is what they believe, this is their way, I could not say this is my way. I was given a spirit name by one of my teachers which was originally Lightning Wood, however one day when doing a solo ritual, for some unexplained reason I mispronounced my spirit name and said Lightning Wolf, I then hesitated and was going to correct it, when I heard a voice I think it was just inside my head but it was loud and thundery it said “No you speak truth” a spirit of few words but from that point on I have adopted Lightningwolf as my spirit name which I use in ritual or ceremony in day to day life I came to use a shortened version spoken first by a friend which is Wolfstar.
Just as I thought this was looking like the path I was to follow and my questions would never be answered, I was hit by a stunning and profound new beginning. I had a massage client who I used to work on once a week who was a well renowned psychic reader herself, in the middle of her treatment she jump up and said shaking her head from side to side, “I just got a message for you, you are going to work with the runes”
I had never heard of runes but I was intrigued enough to search on the internet that night which lasted till sun rise the next day. Many of the sites I looked at introduced me to Norse mythology and in particular the god Odin and how Odin received the power and ability to use the runes. He performed a sacrificial ritual involving him spearing himself through his foot and hung upside down for nine days.
I immediately related this to my childhood experience and pondered was that the sign of Odin which I received all those years ago? If so what does that mean for me? I know that the Christians have their stigmata or receiving the sign of Christ, Native Americans believe anyone struck by lightning and now survives is a chosen one of the thunderbird clan, in other old lore’s anyone saved by a god become an adopted son of the god. So for me was my experience a sign of Odin and if it was the spirit of Odin who saved me that day, am I an adopted son? This was very deep and mind blowing for me to ponder!
I had previously learned that it is possible to put out to the universe or Great Spirit as I prefer a request asking for something to be confirmed. It has to be confirmed in a way that leaves no doubt and also within a short time frame. This is what I did: I gave 7 days to confirm what I was pondering if nothing happens in that time I would forget it!
During that night of study on the internet I continued to read about Odin, another profound thing he did was to drink meed from a sacred caldron, I did not know what a caldron was so I left that site and searched caldron, when I found it I thought ok the witches pot and didn’t think any more about that, however it did stand out in my mind. By sunrise I was exhausted so went to bed and slept till about mid-day it was a lovely day so I thought I would work in my veggie garden, it took only minutes before the spade hit something metallic it was a caldron the very caldron I use to do rune readings with to this day!
From that point on the runes slowly became the focal point of my spiritual life and it continued to grow in me as I truly believe I have finally found my path. At first I thought my journey was now over, my questions have been answered, I know who I am. But I was so wrong, this was not the end just a new beginning. I started by buying books and searching the net for as much information as I could find, but I found much of it to be superficial, repetitious, almost fairy story like yet still very mysterious and powerful. Obviously so much has been lost over the last 2000 years of the age of Pisces and the new religions now viewed as old, have done a good job at covering up our ancient indigenous culture we the white people of the north, were once so proud of.
My first move was deciding to make my own set of runes, using a very special piece of apple tree wood I had kept without knowing what for, for some time. I carved the symbols into each of the 24 staves then it came time to blood them, siting at my desk with a sharp blade I thought this is not going to be pleasant! Just as I was about to make the first nick I experienced the worst nose bleed I have ever had, it lasted until I had finished marking all 24 runes, I have not experienced anything like it since. I truly believe I got some help that day!
Once I had my own set of runes I started to use them in shamanic rituals that I did regularly for myself. This is when I really started to experience the powers that I was working with, in this period I believe no in fact I am sure I re-discovered many of the lost mysteries of the runes, I found the ancient way of casting using all 24 runes cast randomly (you can download this information from this site and do readings yourself, available early 2016. Right from the start I was doing professional readings with amazing accuracy. No doubt I was well on my path.
I decided the next step was to do an initiation ritual in order to prove worthy of the powers I was now working with and to install my rite to be acknowledged by them as a son of Odin. I will not go into the details of this however it lasted nine hours, involved three others and my personal runic signature was branded on my shoulder using seven ions, it was a night of a full moon lunar eclipse, I had survived with a sense of re-birth and at the end of the nine hour test of strength and will, then I went out alone to a hill top and called in my rite. To say the least this was a very powerful time for me.
I had a restful lunar month after that and my physical body quickly healed and I started to wonder what’s next or is this it now? It proved to be just another new beginning. The next full moon I experienced what I can only describe as a powerful presents like an energy but without person visiting me, I soon came to realise it was the energy of the rune Fey-hu and for the full lunar month this energy stayed with me allowing me to full come to know its vibration, I was awe struck! I had no idea how long this would last until one night while out walking, I had the sense of it leave with a new energetic vibration replacing it, it was Ur-uz I looked up and saw it was another full moon, and so it continued for 24 lunar months, I experience all of the runic vibrational energies each had individual lessons and different things to show me.
Collectively, the runes put me on the path of walking this good Earth as a Druid and while still known commonly as Wolfstar the Druid, I use the full spirit name of Lightning Wolf son of Odin when in sacred space.
To be considered a full druid it takes just under 19 years divided into four periods, firstly Preparation, then ‘Urda’ the power to know, ‘Verdandi’ the power to dare and ‘Skuld’ the power to will. I called Skuld unto myself in 2012 while on a pilgrimage tour of 14 countries around Europe. I will complete this in June 2017 when I will harvest the staff I have been growing for the last 10 years and consider myself a full Druid.
Over these years I have been writing a book about what I have learned from the 24 rune vibrations. Primarily it is a book that I hope will do for its readers what it has done for me, a coming into personal power, I can see it has the potential to take us through the end of days of the Piscean age and the energies and organisations that are attached to it, connecting us to the new age of Aquarius that was birthed in the 1960s and will fully take over in 2036.
I am now completing my temple space which is based around Norse mythology and will soon be sharing some more things on You Tube in 2016. It is my hope that the rune reading workshop download from this site will support me financially in order to publish and promote the book in 2017 on.
I have been told, once I complete this Journey which has been more about my inner space so far, then will come the time for my work to really begin!
