This galdr track was created for prayer, meditation, and ritual purposes.
Through the rhythm and words, one is encouraged to dissolve into space and time, traveling with the spirits of the Wild Hunt surrounded by a myriad of runes. Short prayers to Odin and the Norns are recited to gain favor, prosperity, and divine inspiration.
This poem was composed around the Winter Solstice of 2024.
May it be of use to practitioners.
Hailaz and good Yule to all!
We recorded another version of the popular mantra OM CHAM CHANDRAYA NAMAHA this Spring and are happy to share it with you.
This mantra is dedicated to the Moon god Chandra, also known as Soma, and can be translated many ways, such as “Homage! I Drink/Eat of the Moon!”.
The word cham comes from the Proto-Indo-European word kʷem which means “to swallow,” implying that one absorbs the energy of the Moon as one does when drinking water or eating food.
Chandra means “glittering/shining” and is a word used for the Moon personified. This light (or shine) is what we take in during meditation, transforming it into clarity of mind and peace in spirit.
Namaha comes from the Proto-Indo-Iranian word námas (respect, homage) which derives from the Proto-Indo-European word némos, meaning “to bend, sacrifice, worship.”
As this is chanted and visualized, one gives reverence with each repetition for the illuminating clarity that is given by the great Shining One, filling one’s consciousness with calm images of crystals, water, and moonlight.
Praise to the Shining One!
This is our last song for the Summer and a celebration of all the experiences of the year thus far.
We hope your Summer was full of great experiences and new lessons learned.
May all beings thrive under the Sun.
May all beings rise to new heights.
Hailaz / Namaste
