Föstumorgininn varð sá atburðr á Katanesi, at maðr hét Dörruðr, er út gekk. Hann sá at menn riðu tólf saman til dyngju nökkurrar ok hurfu þar allir.

Vefr Darraðar – Translation

©Magnús Magnússon and Hermann Pálsson

(Njáls Saga, Penguin Books, 1960)

   On the morning of Good Friday, it happened in Caithness that a man called Dorrud went outside and saw twelve riders approach a woman’s bower and disappear inside. He walked over to the bower and peered through a window; inside, he could see women with a loom set up before them. Men’s heads were used in place of weights, and men’s intestines for the weft and warp; a sword served as the beater, and the shuttle was an arrow. And these were the verses they were chanting:

‘Blood rains

From the cloudy web

On the broad loom

Of slaughter.

The web of man,

Grey as armour,

Is now being woven:

The Valkyries

Will cross it

With a crimson weft.

‘The warp is made

Of human entrails;

Human heads

Are used as weights;

The heddle-rods

Are blood-wet spears;

The shafts are iron-bound,

And arrows are the shuttles,

With swords we will weave

This web of battle.

‘The Valkyries go weaving

With drawn swords,

Hild and Hjorthrimul,

Sanngrid and Svipul,

Spears will shatter,

Shields will splinter,

Swords will gnaw

Like wolves through armour.

‘Let us now wind

The web of war

Which the young king

Once waged.

Let us advance

And wade through the ranks,

Where friends of ours

Are exchanging blows.

‘Let us now wind

The web of war

And then follow

The king to battle.

Gunn and Gondul

Can see there

The blood-splattered shields

That guarded the king.

‘Let us now wind

The web of war,

Where the warrior banners

Are forging forward.

Let his life

Not be taken;

Only the Valkyries

Can choose the slain.

‘Lands will be ruled

By new peoples

Who once inhabited

Outlying headlands.

We pronounce a great king

Destined to die;

Now an earl

Is felled by spears.

‘The men of Ireland

Will suffer a grief

That will never grow old

In the minds of men.

The web is now woven

And the battlefield reddened;

The news of disaster

Will spread through the lands.

‘It is horrible now

To look around,

As a blood-red cloud

Darkens the sky.

The heavens are stained

With the blood of men,

As the Valkyries

Sing their song.

‘We sang well

Victory songs

For the young king;

Hail to our singing!

Let him who listens

To our Valkyrie song

Learn it well

And tell it to others.

‘Let us ride our horses

Hard on bare backs,

With swords unsheathed,

Away from here.’

Then they tore the woven cloth from the loom and ripped it to pieces, each keeping the shred she held in her hands. Dorrud left the window and went home. The women mounted their horses and rode away, six to the south and six to the north.

¹A New Breed of Men Sent Down from Heaven

Now the last age by Cumae’s Sibyl sung has come and gone, and the majestic roll of circling centuries begins anew: justice returns, returns old Saturn’s reign, with a new breed of men send down from heaven.  Only do thou, at the boy’s birth in whom the iron shall cease, the golden race arise, befriend him, chaste Lucina; ‘tis thine own Apollo reigns.  And in thy consulate, this glorious age, O Pollio, shall begin, and the months enter on their mighty march.  Under thy guidance, whatso tracks remain of our old wickedness, once done away, shall free the earth from never-ceasing fear.  He shall receive the life of gods, and see heroes with gods commingling, and himself be seen of them, and with his father’s worth reign o’er a world of peace.

²Abomination of Desolation

Message posted to friends on 26 February 2014:

While in Iceland last August, I met with Pétur Halldórsson at the Cafe Milano in Reykjavík. We discussed matters of mutual interest, including what my Saga Cipher work might “mean“.

I took a napkin and, for emphasis, wrote down the number 438097. This is the Cipher Sum of some three dozen names of persons, institutions, dates and events during the reference period, including two famous murder cases, a sex scandal in high places, and presumptive lies told in connection therewith.

I told Pétur (what I had long surmised) that I believed that this number was associated with a watershed event in human history whose final phase was upon our world.

An earth-shaking culmination of human and spiritual evolution.

³Ten Sefiroth of Kabbalah

Background

The most influential Kabbalistic text was The Zohar, which was probably written in about 1275 by the Spanish mystic Moses of Leon [who] believed that God gives each mystic a unique and personal revelation, so there is no limit to the way the Torah can be interpreted: as the Kabbalist progresses, layer upon layer of significance is revealed. The Zohar shows the mysterious emanation of the ten sefiroth as a process whereby the impersonal En Sof becomes a personality. In the three highest sefiroth – Kether, Hokhmah and Binah – when, as it were, En Sof has only just „decided“ to express himself, the divine reality is called „he.“ As „he“ descends through the middle sefiroth – Hesed, Din, Tifereth, Netsakh, Hod and Yesod – „he“ becomes „you.“ Finally, when God becomes present in the world in the Shekinah, „he“ calls himself „I.“ It is at this point, where God has, as it were, become an individual and his self-expression is complete, that man can begin his mystical journey. Once the mystic has acquired an understanding of his own deepest self, he becomes aware of the Presence of God within him and can then ascend to the more impersonal higher spheres, transcending the limits of personality and egotism. It is a return to the unimaginable Source of our being and the hidden world of sense impression is simply the last and outer-most shell of the divine reality. (Karen Armstrong, A History of God, Ballantine Books, New York, 1993, p. 247)
