Within Thursatru Tradition sorcery is referred to by its Old Norse name fj\lkyngi, (t'1a\_,much; kyng as in kun_ na, "to know", as in understanding), a word saved in the Old Icelandic language . FjijltEngi is an art which em_ bodies the practice of pre_Christian Norse and contemporary sorcery which enlinks your workings to the Thurs_ ian Powers, and thus strengthen your spiritual and magi_

cal enlinkments. Fjt;llcyngt is eclectic sorcery which

strives progressively towards evolution; adaption and development is the key to its progress. There are many OId Norse words for sorcery, e.g. trolld6mr, seidr, fordaduskapr, gerningar, galdr, etc.,but they all have spe_ cific purposes while fii;rkyngi courd be seen as a term which encloses them all. Fji)l_, compared to the OId Norse word ]trrid-, is a typical adjective associated with giants in Old Norse terminology, as well as powerful weapons: itdenotes the powerfulness in the powers and their craft - its primordial descent _ as in the giant_ names Fjcilvarr, Fjcilverkr, Fjcilvor, and Frudgelmir.; and

Worship is called by its Old Norse name bl6t (which is a name for many different things, see Bl|tskaparb6k), this

Old form of worshipping was especially connected to sacrifice and most often craved it; and this is a tradition that stays with the Thursatru Tradition, as it is a very important aspect in the practice of worshipping the sinister and primordial powers.

bjazi is called very mighty:

"Dryrmheimr is it called, where Djazi the very mighty giant dwells", and in Helgakuida Hj\rvardssonar (med Hrimgerdarmdlum) 25 "in bolley lives a purs, avery wise

it that the giants have an inborn all-wisdom and the mantic ability to prophesy about the future, but the gods have not?

It

creation. The ice melted as the tranquil Power and wisdom got activated by the radiation of Mrispellsheimr and

But

we see it within the Thursatru Tradition, this poisonous water is only poisonous if you are an ally to the as

gods and their domain, because the poison is killing the world tree from inside, as its roots are drinking from its

water in the underworld (Gr{mnismdl 3t). The poison also wakes up the slumbering anti_cosmic spirits inside the universe and reminds them of the true and hidden Ginnungagap-Chaos. So the ones who drink of this poisonous water will wake up from the cosmic slumber and remember the true god and world. So why would the gods want to drink of this poisonous water? Because

they are ignorantly looking for limitless wisdom of the past, present and future, and they all hunger for divine immortality (Gylfaginning 4, 15,39), so they can domi_ nate all, even what lies beyond their worlds.
