Throwing away a legacy does not create 'individuality'. The manipulators of the 'collective' gain their desired control but individuals are impoverished. Somehow the baby boomer generation was influenced by a socialist agenda rampant in approimately 1966 - 1972. I believe this occured because we had seen what doesn't work but looked to the wrong cultural solution for what would work. We fell victim to a compulsion to 'hipness' that required us to throw away what The Greatest Generation had fought so valiantly to create. We will overcome our mistake and take the right action to win our rightful place in prosperity and advance with our own skills.

We are not meant to reinvent the wheel. Rather, we are from a continuum of consciousness that is meant to drive toward greater gains. Our story does not end with Jarl and Erna. Their youngest son, Kon, grows in frith and weal and Mystical knowledge then advances on his own using what he has learned from Rig. Heimdall has taught him well. The children of Jarl and Erna learned sports, chess style board games, warrior skills, and travelled on swift horses. Kon learned specialized skills.

"But Kon only + + + + could carve runes,

runes lasting ay, + + + + life-keeping runes;

to bring forth babes + + + + birth runes he knew,

to dull sword edge + + + + and calm the sea."



"Fowl's speech he knew + + + + and quenched fires,

could soothe sorrows + + + + and the sick mind heal;

in his arms the strength + + + + of eight men had."



"In runes he rivaled + + + + Rig the Jarl;

with wiles he warred + + + + outwitting him;

thus got for himself + + + + and gained to have,

the name of Rig + + + + and runic lore."



"Rode Kon the young + + + + through copse and woods,

birds he snared + + + + used bow and arrow."



"Then quoth a crow + + + + croaking on branch.

'Why snarest thou birds, + + + + scion of kings?

Rather shoulds't thou + + + + ride swift horse,

(brandish swords) + + + + slaying foemen."



"'Have Dan and Danp + + + + a dwelling richer,

and lands larger, + + + + than are left to thee;

are they skilled in steering + + + + the stormy seas,

in trying swords + + + + and slaying heroes.'"

(stanzas 44 - 49)

This translation of the Rigsthula is from The Poetic Edda translation by Lee M. Hollander. I have slightly modified it in places with my own interpretation.

A few things to note here. Those skilled in runes can listen to nature. They have shamanic skills but are also familiar with wealth and prosperity. It is said that Konungr went on to prove himself by victory in Denmark. He wed Dana the daughter of Danpr. Their son was said to have united Denmark. So even the achievements of Konungr were advanced in deed by the next generation.

There is no place in Teutonic Magical skill for throwing aside a legacy to prove oneself. Rather, the proof is in making gains from what Orlog has been given to the person through his lineage. Once this is understood, Spiritual economics and social progress of Teutonic tribes will arise again. This knowledge can be applied to skillful adventures in wealth.
