+Ulthberh+t viking sword- use bone of ancestor or bear to infuse material with strength


  • made 8-1000 ad
  • 171 swords have been named/decided were Uthberts
  • Secret of it's creation lost for 1000 years
  • How swords have been made and of what materials
    • 9:30 steel, made from crushed iron ore
    • melt to separate rock from iron
    • add carbon from coal or charcoal to harden metal into steel 
  • Impurities such as slag make steel brittle
    • a nonmetalic part of the ore, making it bristle
    • the fires weren't hot enough to melt fully the iron
    • 11:00 metals are melted at temps over 3000 degrees
    • gets rid of slag and allows carbon to be mixed in more evenly
  • 11:15 carbon could only be mixed in incidentally, mainly from the coal of the fire
  • Slag was hammered out (not effective enough)
  • Uthbert had 3x as much carbon and little slag to none
  • Crucible steel
  • 16:40 blackstmiths held at good esteem because of their skill
  • 18:20 bone, burnt bone can be used (even from ancestors or from a bear), add together with charcoal to create an excellent carbon
    • Using bone from ancestor or bear will infuse it with the power of them into the blade or material
  • You seal the crucible so it does not allow more charcoal in
  • 2130 mans the bellows, at times a whole villiage might have been needed to keep the heat going
  • May have learned crucible steel from iranians
  • 2520, 5 hours to check to see if there is an ingot inside crucible
  • 2720, 8 hours of pounding to break down iron bar
  • 3200, change of rounded tip sword to more pointed to attack armored or chain mailed opponents
  • 3500, inlaid name, unsure why he did that.
    • making a statement?
    • signing his work?
    • making his work known that it is high quality?
    • Seems possible frankish or germanic or french
    • There was the cross on it, which signified that they were maybe a bishop, monastery, or possibly made by a viking who wished to make good amounts of money
    • Could have been a magic symbol KENNING
  • You may put the letters in and have it not set up well and then it will fail, which would really suck and make the smith very frustrated.
  • 4040 Fuller, the groove down the middle of the blade to allow longer and wider blades with the same amount of steel
    • acts as an I beam
  • 2 lbs finished sword, similar to a baseball bat
  • 4330, if you bent a sword you took away the power of the sword of your enemy, and you bury it together with the person who owned it so that there was no curse upon you 
  • If you take a sword from an enemy, you took a part of them with you
  • 4425. the quench part of making the sword to heat and cool to harden the sword, which affects the atomic structure of the sword
    • you could use anything from water to DRAGONS BLOOD
      • He uses oil
  • Quench when blade glows a consistent dull orange
  • Some swords will shatter and break in the quench process
    • you don't want to hear a tink or  a ping, that is the audible sound of it cracking
    • will happen in first 10 seconds
    • 4634, awesome flaming sword when removed
  • 4800 Ulfberh+t were high quality steel, while Ulfberht+ did not
  • 4900 increasingly finer sanding or grinding stones used to bring out the luster which people lusted after at the time of dirt and mud. 
  • 5000 after polishing an acid will be added which makes the contrast between the 2 different metals to bring out the name

Well of Urd - Fate - Norns

 Fate= Wyrd/Urd Fate/Destiny is very close to the word WORD. Well of URD might as well be the Word. Each day supposedly the Gods go down and meet in council around the Well of Urd. It is the well next to a root from the Tree of Life Yggdrasil. Even the Gods themselves were subject to fate. Norns, beings who shaped fate, a group, some sources say a Trio of very Wise Women whose magical abilities were unmatched by those of any other being. Lived at the Base of Yggdrasil the great tree in the center of the Cosmos, where they carved the fate of all inhabitants of cosmos into the tree, or in another image, wove them with thread, cutting the last strand at the end of the persons life. Struggling against ones fate is as pointless as rowing a boat against a fierce wind. After Ragnarok it was fated that Nothing would remain but Nothing itself.  Odin fought to defeat the Norns and defeat Fate itself. The paradigmatic model for this attitude was the way the gods were to approach their ow...

Crystals and EMF

https://hibiscusmooncrystalacademy.com/crystals-lower-emf-risks/ In my  Certified Crystal Healer Courses  we discuss specific crystals & protocols for counteracting EMF pollution. Crystals you don’t want to use are any sort of silicate crystals:  quartz, lepidolite, opal, etc. Why?  Well, for the simple reason that they  easily  slide into resonance with electronics & microwave radiation. That property is why silicon ( what silicates & quartz [silicon dioxide] are made of ) is so widely used in technology! It’s an excellent semi-conductor of energy. Some ask me what sort of stones they can place around their computers and laptops to help protect them from any radiation coming from there. I feel the best stones to use for this sort of EMF protection are  ferromagnetic (iron containing) stones  such as: lodestone/ magnetite  (these are essentially the same mineral, but lodestone is found naturally magnetized while magnetit...
