Erdology Month of Sowillo

Erdology Month of Sowillo

T Shawn Welling

This is an every fortnight column, it is updated info I write and rewrite every 15 to 16 days depending on the month and the Sabbat’s involved. Although some of the information contained within repeats exactly, most of the information contained with this column changes dramatically. I add, change, and rewrite some parts of the intro each column before I sent it out each Futhark month because as I gain a deeper understanding of the Erdology and how it works, I need to update the column. Every time I get feedback on the content, I make subtle changes which improve the way the column is written.

Allow me to tell you what Erdology means. Erd is a German word meaning earth. Ology is a Latin word meaning the study of. So I put the 2 together study of the earth. Since this concept the earth is exactly what is being studied.

Definition of Sabbat, this is a term I found in the dictionary that is the only word that I can find that truly gets close to that of the original origins of the 8 equinoxes and or solstices of a year. In celebration of that time. This is also called witches night.

Definition of fortnight: this is from the Ancient 14 day calendar of 14 consecutive nights. Which could have easily been changed from the origins of 15 and 16 days of this calendar. Too much from ancient European history has been changed, altered, subverted, and out right spun to be something else that we have to rebuild the history from clues left from the spin of time and conquest.

I do have this information copy written. If you wish to down load this and print it out, or post it on another list that if fine as long as you give me the credit for it. And remember that this research is a full time thing for me, so just keep the fact that these 10 15 pages over 15 to 16 days is written for you, but I still have to pay the rent.

The information listed below is the information I have gathered through more than 10 years of private independent study into the runic Futhark. Trying to figure out its secrets. Trying to find out what was behind the vault door of the name runa itself. What I found was a set of counts, set at very specific points where the earth moves in its orbit around the sun. These points, are as follows; the seasons there the earth is on its rotation around the sun, the months there are 24 based starting at Litha one of the 8 Sabbat’s a year putting Fehu the first symbol of the 24 with Litha being mid summer in the middle of the month of 15 days and then counting 23 months more, which leaves 5.4 days unaccounted for. Take the most important Sabbat’s the ones that affect this world the most and add the 5.4 days to those months of 15 days making them 16 days long. Now there is a great deal more to this map than just the brief description I have written in this paragraph as well as in the extremely brief information I have written in the document that follows this paragraph, but the point is, you get a starting place, and for this Erdology which is instead of studying the effects of the heavenly bodies that are outside this planets atmosphere, this is all about studying the effects this planet has on this planet.

A note on the concept of what the Electro-Magnetic fields we live in are about. This planet has an Electro-Magnetic field, or else this computer would not work, the solar radiation and winds from the sun and solar system are deflected by this Electro-Magnetic field around this planet. All Electro-Magnetic fields on a vibrational level effect all other Electro-Magnetic fields on this planet. The Electro-Magnetic fields I refer to are the fields of this planet, the plants, animals, water, regions, and everything else that carries or has an Electro-Magnetic field. Each and every one has effects on each and every other thing here. This Erdology is an exploration of what these interactions are, and what they mean. Based on very specific criteria of birth, solar bodies alignment, tilt of this planet on its axsis, formulation of tribes and communities just to name a few of the Electro-Magnetic cycles this Erdology tracks. The fields that the earth goes through I have attempted to chart out their meanings as well as how they work together.

The future is what ever you make it. You choose the decisions that make your future. Even not deciding is still a decision. So even though these Electro-Magnetic field maps are generally set, you still have to make your own decisions about what you want, need, and desire to do with your life. You still have to do all the hard work of walking this life. As you walk through the various stages of life, various stages of development of personal talent, all the stages of personal interactions with everyone else around you, you still have to do all the hard work yourself. This is a guide to help you navigate through your life easier.

There is another set of information about choice that you need to understand that goes with this Erdology. Most times when you are at a decision cross roads in your life, you have already made that decision the cross roads are not to make the decision but to understand the decision you have already made. So this map is a way to give you an additional guild book, additional information, additional knowdgle, wisdom, conscienseness about the decisions you have already made but need to be fully or partially aware of the decisions you have already made but need to have that knowledge on the for front of your mind.

What the calendar is: this calendar is my attempt to understand the creation of the Nordic Germanic runic/Elder Futhark. See I knew that the items involved with the runic half month calendar were just flat out wrong, not out of being designed to be wrong, they were translated to be wrong. When the calendar was translated into Julian, the Julian calendar was off by a few days, so the runic half month calendar was off by a few days. When it was translated into Gregorian, our western world current calendar those off days stayed put.

So I looked to the past to reverse engineer how the calendar could have been made, knowing that it could date back to the end of the last ice age. More likely it dates back farther but that is not something up for debate that is just speculation on my part. I looked at the year and divided that up into the runic 24 characters, numbering 15 days, and 5 months of 16 days. This is all fine and good but the problem is none of the symbols matched what was happening at that time of the year. So I took it upon myself to think, well if this is a calendar based on the Sabbat’s of a year, there are 8 at the equinoxes and the equinoxes are where the calendar was created from in the first place. Then Litha would be in the first month. Knowing also a bit about the ancient northern European religions, they do not start their festivals as the first day, they have their festivals where the Sabbat’s are in the middle of the festival. So I took this as a engineering key, and put Litha directly in the middle of Fehu, I did a bit of counting and putting each of the months into place, paying attention to the months who were already at the 16 day mark and noticed immediately that the months that had 16 days corresponded to that major sabot. I knew immediately that I was on to something, that the ancients did in fact bury their secrets in plain sight, waiting for the children of Heimdall to climb out of the tree after Ragnarok. This is our time to shine.

So here is how this information applies to you. This section is about how the Futhark calendar will help aid and assist you in your everyday life. Astrology is based on the movements of bodies of influence outside this planet. But this Erdology is not about outside this planet this map is about tracking the Electro-Magnetic fields of this planet and how they affect you. This is not divination this is, Electro-Magnetic facts.

By telling you what to expect from this world around you; you can then make decisions on and about what you want to be doing with your life.

Archaeology, antiquity, anthropology, history. I begin this paragraph with the understanding that the runes if you look at them logically with just a bit of archaeological evidence could not possibly come from 200 c. e. . For one there is too much evidence to suggest they did not exist before hand, for two something this complex and machine like takes longer than the Europeans had to invent it, for three its really hard to invent something at all when you are under constant attack, researchers need quiet time to think and contemplate that which they want to think about with out the need to concentrate on if they are going to be killed soon or not. Fourth all the books I have read all the papers I have read all say this sentence translated into a form of Latin at a given date. Sometimes the date is a day in a month in a year by some priest sent to convert the heathen. Fifth what did the inquisition and Vatican burn if there was no language, no written information, and no education? What was so threatening they had to burn it? Sixth who was killed as being a witch or heretic and why if they had no religion, no formula of communication why did those priests and priestesses need to be executed to keep them silent if they did not have some form of pre-Latin language. Seventh, why do the Edda’s state suddenly Odin hung on the tree, the runes suddenly appeared. But Freya knew them? Freya was a Vanier, the Vanier were there long before the Æsir got to Europe. And the Vanier culture looks a lot like the archaeological evidence of the Vinca culture which was in existence at 6000 b. c. e.. Eighth point the Celts the artifacts left by the Celts and the Vinca artifacts are remarkably similar, and we know from archaeology that the Celts were slowly driven from all of Europe into the British isles by invaders. All these points add up to the runes are much older then the 200 c. e. we have been told my catholic historians. As well as there are direct ties to the runes and the Celts being much closer than previously thought about.

Season Tri masculine last month of tri

As you come out of the grip of winter, instead of going into the grip of spring, the Futhark I found had a balance problem the counts just did not add up correctly. So I did some math, and found that the time before and after winter there was a missing seasons. To check my results in math, always go back to observations of what the planet and the things on the planet are doing for confirmation. Indian summer and ground hogs day, was all the confirmation I needed. That floating time that brackets winter. Then it was even more obvious, instead of just going straight from action of spring summer autumn, a transition time of a small amount of time bracketing winter is needed, in the Indian summer time it’s a progression into the self. But this time is a progression out of the self. Out into the world again. Out of the head and mental exercises of the winter and the lessons of the internal and out into applying that which was learned during the internal time.

This tri masculine is about the transition out of the winter internal and seeing how to apply that knowledge of the self to the world over the course of the next year.

During this time is important for you to reorganize yourself toward the goals you have set for yourself, paying attention so you can integrate your new self into the world in a beneficial way.

So you can improve your position over the course of your path till the next 16 day month.

*** important note***

for southern hemisphere, peoples line up your calendar according to the Sabbat’s, apply meanings accordingly, the calendar starts at Litha, then around to Beltain. So that would be Litha in Dec your longest day and Yule in June your shortest day.

F Fehu June 13-28 1 Litha 1 16 Tower

This begins the first month you are born during a time of establishing boundaries for yourself. Your life will be about establishing personal boundaries and personal understanding of what your path is, what your life is, and what is important to you. Your life will be about getting to know what your priorities are, what are your ethics your responsibilities, where do your loyalties lie.
