UPDATED 11/17/23 All runes at the crime scene have been identified within this post.  I can only go by what has been revealed.  There may have been more at the actual scene.  THIS was definitely a Norse Styled Ritual.  AND it took some intense planning and execution.  They probably worked through the late night after the searchers had gone home.

Some of you may be familiar with the murder of the two young girls in 2017, in Delphi, Indiana.  For years nothing has developed and most of us presumed nothing would ever be resolved related to these tragic deaths.

Not the case.  The story is fresh in the news again.  I personally doubt very highly that it will ever be resolved.

From the beginning of the coverage on this case at the time of the murders, I have always had the feeling that there was a conspiracy to cover up the truth and protect the perpetrator(s).   It reminds me of the Sandy Hook event.  Where the entire area is allegedly known for their occult practices.

Though there were a couple of suspects in the town who greatly resembled the man in the photograph and in fact one of them owned the property close to the bridge, the cops just could not seem to figure it out.

Meanwhile, the guy who owned the property has died.  They new suspect they have in custody was identified on the bridge the day the girls were killed.

Here is a shot of the Bridge Guy taken from a video of a documentary where the family’s were interviewed.  It contained a still shot of the Bridge Guy.  It looks to me like he either had on a face mask that covered the lower half of his jaw and most of his nose… or he had his turtle neck sweater pulled up over his face.  

On a day that is said to have been unseasonably warm, he sure is wearing a lot of clothing.  It is quite apparent that he was covering his identity.  He was not on the bridge to site see, nor was he just passing through.  He was there with a nefarious purpose in mind.  

Again, not a random act of violence.  This person had targeted these two girls.  He knew they would be there.

Update Added 11/17/23

There are some very intriguing revelations in this video.  I do not agree with the creator when he states that Richard Allen was railroaded.  I am convinced he played a major role.  But this guy discovered some things that the public should know.

Update 11/13/23

Update 11/12/23

The more that I investigate this crime the more I am convinced that they are covering up from beginning to end.  There have been so many documents filled out incorrectly, buried/misfiled, statements from witnesses have been misquoted and/or changed, vital information has been kept from the public, crucial evidence has been dismissed (Runes, Posing of the boides).  From all the symbolism and numerology, along with the staging of the crime scene we should all recognize that these murders were ritualistic and carefully planned.  I believe that Ron Logan and Richard and Allen were certainly involved.  
The killers were obviously very familiar with the lay of the land.  They had access to cover if/when needed and access to a place to change clothes, clean up, store their vehicles, and access to any props required and/or tools.  Ron Logans property is fenced and surveilled so anyone planning to pull of that type of ritual would have to have no concern about being caught on the property.  
Richard Allen had the ability to observe the kids who attended the school as he was less than half a mile from it.  He was also a neighbor of the Patty family (Libby’s home).  
It would take at least two people, I would thing to accomplish all they did.  That is how I see it, and I am entitled to my opinion.

Update 11/12/23

UPDATE 11/11/23

The more I look into this heinous crime and listen to all the parties connected, the more I recognize that this was a very powerful ritual, carried out by a very POWERFUL, OCCULT ORGANIZATION that has very strong ties with the police and the other much higher political powers.  We will NEVER get the truth.   Just more of the same stuff that is going on globally.  Human beings have come to have no value.  The foxes are running the hen house and the world has gone mad.  Just another indication that we are living in the End of the End TIMES.

Just based on the names of all the parties and places in this case you can clearly see that there are demonic forces at work.  You can’t make this stuff up.

Pray for the children all over the world.  They have no one to protect them but GOD!

Wow… I totally missed the connection with Valentine’s Day.  Keep in mind that we have no idea when the girls were actually murdered/sacrificed.  They may very well have been hidden, say in Rick’s barn, until the 14th.  Perhaps at midnight?  Or just after sundown, if one recons the day as beginning at sundown.  That would place it on the traditional day of Lupercalia/Valentin’s Day.

Richard masc. proper name, Middle English Rycharde, from Old French Richard, from Old High German Ricohard “strong in rule,” from Proto-Germanic *rik- “ruler” (see rich) + *harthu “hard,” from PIE *kar-o- (from PIE root *kar- “hard”). “One of the most popular names introduced by the Normans. Usually Latinized as Ricardus, the common form was Ricard, whence the pet form Rick, etc.” [“Dictionary of English Surnames”]

Allen (surname) Allen is a Celtic surname, originating in Ireland, and common in Scotland, Wales and England. It is a variation of the surname MacAllen and may be derived from two separate sources: Ailin, in Irish and Scottish Gaelic, means both “little rock” and “harmony”, or it may also be derived from the Celtic Aluinn, which means “handsome”. Variant spellings include Alan, Allan, etc. The noble family of this surname, from which a branch went to Portugal, is descended of one Alanus de Buckenhall.

Allen  masc. proper name and surname, variant of Alan (q.v.). In reference to a wrench, key, screw, etc. with a hexagonal socket or head, 1913, from the Allen Manufacturing Company of Hartford, Connecticut, U.S.

So, the name Richard Allen means strong ruler/little rock.  Precisely the kind of name you would want to work on a very important and occult/secret/hidden mission for the BROTHERHOOD/ELITE WHY RON LOGAN?

RONALD LOGAN Is the man who owns the property where the girls’ bodies were found A  search warrant was filed three days later, March 17, and an FBI agent wrote, “I believe there is probable cause to believe that RONALD LOGAN has committed the crime of murder and evidence of that can be found on RONALD LOGAN’S property. Authorities served a search warrant at the Logan Property Logan was arrested March 11, picked up on an arrest warrant for a probation violation At least 15 tips came in after that, claiming that the unidentified man was Ron Logan  Source The FBI said Logan lied to investigators about what he was doing on the day the girls disappeared.  According to Fox59, the warrant indicated data from Logan’s cell phone showed it was in Delphi near the murder scene that afternoon and was likely outside and “in the proximity” of the scene.   Source According to the warrant, Logan said that he had an alibi– he was driven to a Lafayette aquariam store on February 13, around the time the girls vanished. But agents wrote that “these statements were found to be factually false and intentionally designed to deceive (law enforcement officers).”  Source Logan asked his cousin to lie and tell police he drove Logan to an aquarium store in Lafayette on the afternoon of Feb. 13, 2017.  He asked a cousin to tell that false story before the bodies were discovered, the warrant says, according to WISH-TV Source According to Fox59, Logan “asked the family member to say they’d returned home between 5 p.m. and 5:30 p.m.” but a receipt showed he checked out at 5:21 p.m., about 30 minutes from his home.  Source “Based on investigators experience it is reasonable to believe that the creation of an alibi prior to the discovery of a crime indicates culpability or knowledge of the crime.” an FBI agent stated in the warrant that Logan’s voice “is not inconsistent with that of the person in the video,” the WISH-TV article states. The full video has never been released to the public. The warrant says it is 43 seconds long. Fox59 also obtained the search warrant and wrote that it says an FBI agent believed Logan’s physical build “appeared to be consistent with that of the man seen on the video.”  Source Women told authorities that Logan had “been violent with them in the past,” and they believed he was the suspect.

He possessed handguns and knives, the station reported.  Source Logan died Jan. 24, 2022, stated to be  secondary to a battle with COVID-19 Omicron   Source    How convenient New Details Emerge in Unsolved Delphi Murder Case

Someone did a great job of blending the photos.  One of the Bridge Guy and the other of Ron Logan walking his dog.  All they was over lay them so that you can see that the bodies are identical.  

Cops received 15 tips that claimed the killer was Ron Logan, who died in 2020
In the photo on the right Ron was walking the investigators through his property, fully aware he was going to be photographed.  Wearing looser jeans you can still determine his narrower thighs within them.  He obviously has no trouble making his way through the terrain.  On the left photographed walking his dog.  His obvious go to jacket is the same jacket the Bridgeman was wearing.

New video and audio from Delphi Murders

MY TAKE:  I believe at least two people were involved in this heinous crime.  There may have been more, but the more people that KNOW the more opportunity there is for discovery. I believe that Logan’s property is somehow to their group hallowed ground and was selected for this important ritual.  I believe that either one of these two men could have been the man on the bridge.  But, both are involved.  I believe the girls were selected.  Allen lived right by the high school and had opportunity to familiarize himself with the victims.  The girls were broadcasting on the internet.  Not hard at all for the perpetrators to gather the information about where they were.  This was not a crime of convenience or a crime of passion, or of domination, or even thrill seeking.  This was a very deliberate ritual, well thought our and arranged by the ELITE/BROTHERHOOD for a very specific purpose/designed outcome.   Remember, that when possessed by any demon but especially  when Odin’s Men are demonically empowered they become strong men, the ultimate warrior.  No matter their age.  If executing a ritual these men, either one or both could have super human strength, endurance, fury and exuberance.  Remember the names of the girls.  Perfect for sacrificial offerings to ODIN/God.

DELPHI NAME

The name “Delphi” has Greek origins from the word “Delphus,” which means hollow, or womb. Most notably, though, the name has strong affiliations with the Delphic Oracle, the most important oracle in ancient Greece

The origins of the Oracle at Delphi hark back to 1400 B.C.; it was first under the control of the earth mother Gaia, until it was either seized by or given to Apollo. Apollo then appointed Pythia as the Oracle of Delphi, and that’s where our Delphi comes into play. Fittingly, the name Pythia shares its roots with “python” — they both derive from the Greek word pythein, “to rot,” which specifically refers “the sickly sweet smell of the decomposition of the body of the monstrous Python after he was slain by Apollo.”  Source

Python, sometimes written Pytho, presided at the Delphic oracle, which existed in the cult center for its mother, Gaia, “Earth”, Pytho being the place name that was substituted for the earlier Krisa.^[1] Greeks considered the site to be the center of the Earth, represented by a stone, the omphalos or navel, which Python guarded.

Python became the chthonic enemy of the later Olympian deity Apollo, who slew it and took over Python’s former home and oracle. These were the most famous and revered in the ancient Greek and Roman worlds.^[2] Like many monsters, Python was known as Gaia’s son and prophesied as Gaia’s son. Therefore, Apollo had to eliminate this opponent before establishing his temple in Delphi.^[3]   Source

INDIANA  

The Origin and Meaning of How Indiana Got Its Name

Back in 1768, the Six Nations of the Iroquois Confederacy made a boundary treaty with the English to settle an old debt. That boundary treaty included 5,000 miles lying south of the Ohio River and east of the Great Kanawha. The land was accepted as a complete payment of the debt and was now in need of a name. Following previous Old World examples of naming states and countries, the new owners decided to call it the land of the Indians, or Indiana. Naming land after the people from whom it was received was common, with similar examples being Georgia, Virginia, Louisiana, and Carolina.

The State’s motto is “The Crossroads of America”.  Source

Discover the Origin and Meaning of “Indiana Hoosier”

Indiana is known as the “Hoosier State”, with its residents referred to as “Hoosiers”. While there are many suggested origins for the nickname, one theory generally stands out as being the most logical. Backed by the Indiana Historical Bureau and the Indiana Historical Society, the theory suggests that the term “Hoosier” originated from the uplands south region of the US as a common way to describe a backwoodsman, a rough-appearing countryman, or a simple country bumpkin. That uplands south region included Virginia, the Carolinas, and Tennessee.

In the Anglo-Saxon rune poem it is called thorn  SOURCE: Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Thurisaz: Background And Description The Germanic tribes used the Elder Futhark, the oldest form of the runic alphabets, for the earliest Nordic inscriptions. Thurisaz, the third rune in this sequence, follows Fehu and Uruz, and precedes Ansuz. The name “Thurisaz” hails from Old Norse, translating roughly to “giant” or “monster.” The etymology of “Thurisaz” is fascinating. Rooted in the Proto-Germanic “*þurisaz,” it’s associated with the giants of Norse mythology, the Jotnar. These beings were often in conflict with the gods, embodying the chaotic forces of nature that stood against the divine order. Thurisaz, a striking rune, visually consists of a vertical line with a single branch, angled to the right, resembling a sideways V. Imagine a lightning bolt, frozen in time, and you’re close to its form. Historically, variations of its design have been found. Some inscriptions show the rune with a more curved branch or with the branch angled to the left. However, the traditional form remains the most recognized and used. The rune is also linked to Thor, the thunder god known for his battles against the giants. In this context, it can symbolize not only conflict but also protection and defense. After all, Thor was a protector of humanity, using his mighty hammer Mjölnir to keep the chaotic forces at bay. The Thunder God Thor is a central figure in Norse mythology, embodying strength, courage, and protection. Thurisaz, with its associations with Thor and the giants, reflects these themes, offering a glimpse into the values and beliefs of the ancient Germanic peoples. In runic divination, interpreters often see Thurisaz as a sign of conflict or hardship. It could indicate a challenge that requires confrontation or a difficulty demanding resolution. Historically, practitioners likely used it in magical practices such as seidr magic,  carving it onto artifacts. Although we lack concrete evidence of specific spells or rituals, it seems plausible that practitioners invoked the rune’s associations with protection and opposition in magical contexts. In modern times, some practitioners of runic magic use Thurisaz in protective talismans or spells, drawing upon its ancient associations with Thor and the giants. Seidr and Galdr, both forms of magic in Norse tradition, differ in techniques, purposes, and associations. Seidr involves shamanistic practices like altered states of consciousness, fate manipulation, divination, and healing. It is often associated with female practitioners known as völvas or seiðkonur and is closely linked to the god Odin and goddess Freyja. In contrast, Galdr focuses more on using runes, incantations, and chants to achieve desired effects. It is commonly associated with male practitioners, although women could also practice Galdr. Seidr seems to have been a collective term for a whole complex of practices, each serving a different function within the larger system of sorcery. There were seidr rituals for divination and clairvoyance; for seeking out the hidden, both in the secrets of the mind and in physical locations; for healing the sick; for bringing good luck; for controlling the weather; for calling game animals and fish. Importantly, it could also be used for the opposite of these things – to curse an individual or an enterprise; to blight the land and make it barren; to induce illness; to tell false futures and thus to set their recipients on a road to disaster; to injure, maim and kill, in domestic disputes and especially in battle. More than anything else, seidr seems to have been an extension of the mind and its faculties. Even in its battlefield context, rather than outright violence it mostly involved the clouding of judgement, the freezing of the will, the fatal hesitation. It was also closely linked to the summoning of spirits and other beings of various kinds, who could be bound to the sorcerer’s will and then sent off to do her or his bidding. In line with the ‘invisible population’, an important category of these beings were also extensions of the individual in its manifestations of a multiple soul – the Jylgjur, hamingjur and so on. The link to cultic practice comes primarily through the god OSinn (Odin), who as we shall see is named in several sources as the supreme master of seidr, along with Freyja from whom he learnt its power. The Vanir provide a clue to another important aspect of this sorcery, in their role as divinities of fertility and sexual potency. Not only do many seidr rituals seem to have been sexual in their objectives, but they may also have been so in the nature of their performance. Beyond the practices with specific carnal intentions, this emphasis on sexuality is also often found in a surprising number of seidr’s other functions reviewed above. By extension, the enactment of these rites seems to have placed so great a demand on their performers as to mark them with a different form of gender identity, outside the conventional norms of Viking Age society Source: Yale Learning Seidr centers on accessing and manipulating hidden realms and the threads of fate, while Galdr primarily concerns with harnessing the power of runes and their associated symbolism. Galdr involves reciting runic formulas or verses, often as poetic stanzas or songs, to invoke specific effects or outcomes. These effects might include protection, healing, personal power increase, or weather control. The use of runes and incantations in Galdr reflects the importance of language, sound, and symbolism in Norse magical practice. In comparison, Seidr emphasizes altered states of consciousness, trance, and communication with various beings. Despite their differences, they share some common ground. Both practices were integral to the spiritual beliefs of the Vikings and played significant roles in their society. Additionally, they each relied on a deep understanding of Norse cosmology, mythology, and symbolism. Both Seidr and Galdr practitioners were respected, and possibly feared, for their knowledge and abilities.  SOURCE

Freyr  (Old Norse: ‘Lord’), sometimes anglicized as Frey, is a widely attested god in Norse mythology, associated with kingship, fertility, peace, prosperity, fair weather, and good harvest. Freyr, sometimes referred to as Yngvi-Freyr, was especially associated with Sweden and seen as an ancestor of the Swedish royal house. According to Adam of Bremen, Freyr was associated with peace and pleasure, and was represented with a phallic statue in the Temple at Uppsala. According to Snorri Sturluson, Freyr was “the most renowned of the æsir“, and was venerated for good harvest and peace.

NORSE GODS – FREYR Freyr Basics Freyr is one of the most important and widely worshiped gods of the Norse pantheon. He is widely considered equal to Óðin and Thor, the latter with whom he shares many overlapping domains. This makes sense when you consider the reach of the ancient Norse, and the varying regional belief systems that were later consolidated to create a single (more or less) mythology. “Freyr” – meaning “Lord” – is more a title than a name. We find the name Yngvi associated with Freyr in an Anglo-Saxon rune poem. There are several other connections made, including a mention by Tacitus in Germania, a passage in Beowulf, and in ancestral documents of the Swedish Royal Family (the Ynglings) who are in legend descended from the god Yngvi-Freyr. Claiming descent from divinity was common throughout various pagan cultures… Freyr is attested to in the Poetic Edda, Prose Edda, Tacitus’s late first century work Germania, in Adam of Bremen’s Gesta Hammaburgensis Ecclesiae Pontificum in the 11th century, in Skaldic poetry, in the 12th Century Danish Gesta Danorum, in the 14th century Icelandic Ögmundar þáttr dytts, and in the Icelandic sagas. Many archaeological artifacts have been found depicting Freyr, and there are numerous place-names honouring him spanning throughout Norway, the Netherlands, and Sweden, further attesting to his widespread importance. Freyr is described as remarkably handsome and is considered alongside his sister, Freya a deity of love, sexuality and fertility, representing masculine potency in particular. He is one of the Vanir, traded to the Æsir along with his sister and father, Njörðr in the exchange of hostages that cemented peace between the two warring tribes of gods. Freyr is associated with agriculture, and with enjoying the fruits of the harvest. He is the god of all hard work, and the enjoyment that follows. Snorri Sturlson describes Freyr in his Prose Edda: “Freyr is the most renowned of the Æsir; he rules over the rain and the shining of the sun, and therewithal the fruit of the earth; and it is good to call on him for fruitful seasons and peace. He governs also the prosperity of men.” He owns two of the six magical treasures of the gods, made by Dwarf master smiths. The first is Gullinbursti, a sun-like golden boar that serves as his mount, and which can run through the sky and over land. The second is Skíðblaðnir, a ship made of gold that could sail without wind and which folded up to fit in his pocket. Freyr also possessed a magical sword which wielded itself. He gave it to his manservant Skirnir, to hold onto in exchange for braving the harrowing trip to Jötunheimr to propose to Freyr’s future wife, Gerð. Even without his sword, Freyr is a fierce warrior who famously slew the giant Beli with just an antler! Freyr is the penetrating sun, the god of Summer, while Gerð is the frozen earth goddess of Winter. The aggressiveness in the tale as recounted in the Eddas is thought to be a metaphor for the thawing of the Winter frosts and the slow warming of the earth. Freyr is the ruler of Álfheimr, one of the Nine Worlds, the realm of the Alfar. The Alfar eventually became the elves and fairies of later legend, but before that, they were human ancestors – the exalted dead of the pagan peoples. Along with the spirits of the land, they were given tribute and veneration. Many scholars consider the ancestors to have been more important than the gods to the daily lives of the ancients.  There are many connections to be made between burial mounds throughout Europe, the elves, ancestor worship, and Freyr. He was worshiped at a huge temple-mound complex at Uppsala in Sweden, and was venerated with pilgrimages made to this site, as well as processions throughout the lands in which he was worshiped. He is recorded to have been worshiped by effeminate men who danced wearing bells. This is reminiscent of modern Morris dancers – who dance with bells, and poke the earth with phallic staves as part of an old courtship ritual to wake up the frozen earth goddess. Dating as far back as the bronze-age, phallic idols identified with Freyr have been found throughout Denmark and Sweden, thrown into bogs, lakes, and rivers. Thoughts on Freyr Freyr was such an important deity that it was common to find his likeness beside Óðin and Thor on altars in the Viking Age. He is a king in his own right, and is considered to be a god of kingship and sovereignty… As a Vanir, Freyr reigns over earthly, bodily concerns, agriculture and husbandry of livestock and of men. The story of his defeat at the hand of Surtr is a metaphor for the decimation of fertile growing things, under the rampaging fires of Ragnarök – mirroring the cyclical death and birth of seasons through the year. Freyr appears as a jolly, warm archetype, and modern heathens describe his energy as comforting, friendly and paternal. He is described as easy-going and he promotes enjoyment, peace and merriment. Many modern pagans associate him with festivity. Freyr is associated with all seasons, and significantly with Spring and Summer, and many pagans consider him to be a god of the sun. He manifests as all fair and enjoyable weather, as well as the gentle rains which help crops grow.  Hand-in-hand with abundance comes fertility, and the sexual metaphors never end in his stories – from a sword with a mind of its own to plowing the fields. Indeed, modern Heathens see Freyr as a god of sex, virility and vitality. We think that Freyr has a striking and rather obvious resemblance to other European deities including Priapus (Roman god of the phallus and gardening) and the Irish Dagda (jovial phallic god of plenty and joy). Since both Rome and the Celts strongly interacted with the Germanic tribes, and descend from a common Indo-European origin, we take the stance that there are more connections to be found here than not. Many modern pagans make connections between Freyr and Celtic Cernunnos. Cernunnos is an intriguing deity who we know very little about. He is associated with male animals and wild nature. As the Vanir are the older order of nature gods, this connection seems to make sense. Celtic Dagda is also associated with Cernunnos. ydalir.ca Suggested Signs & Symbols Boars, pigs, farms, fields, harvest crops. Sickles, scythes, and harvest symbols. Summer. Seeds, pollen and semen.

Algiz: The 15th Rune

The algiz rune (ᛉ) is one of the most powerful protection runes in Norse mythology. Sometimes written as “Elhaz” or “Elhiz” instead, Its meaning is “elk”, but it also represents protection, defense, and prosperity. The elk was a sacred animal to the Norse people, and its antlers were said to have the power to ward off evil spirits. In runic form, the algiz rune looks like two crossed antlers, which symbolize the strength of the elk. The algiz rune can be used for protection against physical and spiritual danger. It can also be used to promote success, abundance, and good luck.

it was frequently used as a potent protection symbol, painted or carved in stone or wood, particularly near areas regarded as pure and capable of healing, like freshwater springs.  In modern times it is frequently presented as a luck or protection charm, either by itself or in conjunction with other Norse protection symbols such as the Vegvisir, or merged into other runes to combine the meaning, in an anachronistic form of “galdrastafir” or Icelandic stave writing. Whilst this merging of old and new nordic customs is fairly modern, to the true believer, there’s no reason to suggest combining runes with stave magic wouldn’t work…!   Source

ALGIZ (also called Elhaz) is a powerful rune, because it represents the divine might of the universe. The white elk was a symbol to the Norse of divine blessing and protection to those it graced with sight of itself.

 The energy of Algiz is what makes something feel sacred as opposed to mundane. It represents the worlds of Asgard (gods of the Aesir), Ljusalfheim (The Light Elves) and Vanaheim (gods of the Vanir), all connecting and sharing energies with our world, Midgard.   Source

 Nauthiz  

The nauthiz rune is associated with the sound of “ng” and has a meaning of “need”. This rune can represent both physical and spiritual needs. It can be a need for food, shelter, or love. It can also represent a need for knowledge or understanding. This rune is often used as a reminder that all things come at a cost. We must sacrifice something in order to gain what we desire. The nauthiz rune can also remind us to be patient. Good things come to those who wait.  Source

The Nauthiz rune is a powerful rune that can be useful and amazing to help us create more powerful energy around us.

The Nauthiz rune means need, repression, and pain. This rune represents the maturation of ideas and intentions or, of birth, expectation, and destiny, which bears fruit as long as you have patience.

The Nauthiz rune is the metaphor of one who carries an uncomfortable and heavy burden. It also evokes a sense of endurance—although it is known that it is wrong—and gives the strength to accept suffering willingly, making it productive as far as possible, even if the hope that better times will come is very low. Many times, we want to achieve a goal (to be strong, or to find our way in life) and yet have the wrong idea of this goal.

Nauthiz recommends experiencing weakness to learn what it means to be strong, or “getting lost” to find out what the real path is… the rune advises you to clarify your ideas and define your desires.

Nauthiz is pain, the affliction that distinguishes pain that is denied, not permitted, not expressed, not manifested. It is anguish, the bewilderment in front of one’s life to which there is no meaning. Pain is felt by everyone, this is dictated by a survival instinct, but there is a pain that arises internally that tells us what is right and what is wrong for ourselves. By not listening to this voice we betray our own destiny.

Sickness and suffering are an attempt by our spirit to tell us that something in our life is not working, something that we could and should change. Hagalaz is the inevitable force that bursts into life and destroys everything, Nauthiz is human resistance, understandable rebellion against death, destiny, and the gods.

The symbol of this rune contains its deepest meaning: if there is no sacrifice there can be no salvation.

You can escape from pain with denial, repression, displacement, and escape, but we must remember that what we deny possesses us. By avoiding evil, you also avoid good; by avoiding pain, you flee from joy and from everything that we do not want to recognize as ours, both the good and the bad side.

Nauthiz is associated with the unconscious, with the dark side, with shadows and so also with those figures such as ogres, witches, demons, fairies, and adversaries who, if not listened to, knock ever louder on the doors of our soul.

Nauthiz is affliction and thinks only to flee from pain and death, but if I live in mourning, the suffering of loss, the pain will gradually vanish and progressively be reborn to new life. Pain is the price we have to pay to love life more.

This rune is ruled by the goddess Nott, goddess of the night, and the Norn Skuld; like others, it represents destiny, the extreme test, what takes energy from the past, and will bear fruit in the future. After the night, however long, cold, and dark it may be, the day always comes.   Source

Norn Skuld is derived from the Old Norse verb skulu, “need/ought to be/shall be”; its meaning is “that which should become, or that needs to occur”.  Source

Nott/Vor is the raven-haired goddess of night, sleep, dreams, the underworld, and of course, death   Source

Pictured far right above is a combination of runes used to cast spells for specific purposes.  Link:  Hello guys, which one could serve as a bindrune for strength, protection and courage (Algiz ᛉ, Thurisaz ᚦ & Uruz ᚢ)?

URUZ ᚢ

Aurochs were wild, bison-like cattle, later hunted to extinction. Uruz is linked to Audhumla, the primordial bovine of Norse mythology who licked the salty rime from rocks and revealed Buri, the grandfather of the gods. It is a rune of vitality, of physical health and strength, and of manifestation. It is a masculine rune, associated with the warrior spirit and endurance, (the aurochs could survive Nordic winters in the wild,) but also with insensitivity and violence.

Monon History

The Chicago, Indianapolis & Louisville Railroad, known affectionately as the MONON, is Indiana’s own. MONON derives from Potawatomi Indian words that sounded to the first settlers like metamonong or monong and seemingly meant “tote”, or “swift running”. In 1882, the railroad started printing “THE MONON ROUTE” on company maps, later naming itself “MONON – The Hoosier Line” on timetables, letterheads, and rolling stock. Most Midwestern railroads built after the 1830’s connected Eastern cities with the newly settled West. North-south lines stood as larger business risks. The MONON opened its 300-miles from Lake Michigan south to the Ohio River in 1853. As more railroads crossed Indiana, the MONON offered passengers and shippers links to the Southern at New Albany; the Baltimore & Ohio at Mitchell; the Milwaukee at Bedford; the Illinois Central at Bloomington; the Pennsylvania at Gosport; the New York Central at Greencastle; the Wabash and the Nickel Plate at Lafayette; the Nickel Plate at Linden; the Erie at Wilders, plus the Chicago & Eastern Illinois, the Chesapeake & Ohio, the Chicago, South Shore & South Bend, the Peoria & Eastern, the Grand Trunk Western, and the Louisville & Nashville at other points. The few north-south railroads, such as the MONON and Illinois Central, provided timely service to Union forces during the Civil War. The MONON carried volunteers to mustering centers free; hurried sick, wounded or discharged men home at half-price. It carried troops, ammunition, food, fuel and medicine on contract. In 1861 alone, the government paid the MONON $9,149 to deliver 9,105 men to war-related destinations. Of 17 Indiana railroads running in 1861-65, only two carried more military personnel. A clue to the MONON’s vital war role: Confederate John Morgan’s raiders from Kentucky in July, 1863, tore out MONON tracks, pulled over water tanks, burned trestles and a depot at Salem, Indiana. In April, 1865, a MONON engine pulled President Abraham Lincoln’s funeral train at 5 mph, per orders, over the 90 miles from Lafayette to Michigan City, one of twenty railroad lines honored to participate in the 20-day, 1,666-mile trail of sadness from Washington, D.C., to Springfield, Illinois.

A map of the MONON trackage would show it in the form of an “X”, laid out over the state of Indiana. One leg ran from Dearborn Station in Chicago, Illinois to Union Station in Indianapolis, Indiana, the first Union Station in the United States. The second leg ran from Michigan City, Indiana to Louisville, Kentucky. The “X” crosses at its namesake city of Monon, Indiana. The main line, runs from Chicago to Monon to Louisville, while the lines from Monon to Michigan City, and from Monon to Indianapolis, were operated as branch lines. Another branch line ran from Orleans, Indiana, Southwest, stopping at the West Baden Resort Hotel, and terminating on the grounds of the French Lick Springs Hotel, where it connects with the Southern Ry. The MONON served five major Universities in Indiana, Purdue University (West Lafayette), Wabash College (Crawfordsville), DePauw University (Greencastle), Indiana University (Bloomington), and Butler University (Indianapolis). The state’s decision to put Purdue University at Lafayette in 1869 had partly to do with MONON service, there since 1852. So important was the college traffic that the road painted its passenger rolling stock the red and gray of Indiana University, and painted its freight engines black and gold of Purdue University. In 1959, after the Indianapolis to Chicago trains were discontinued, it didn’t make sense to continue with two color schemes, and to economize, the red and gray passenger scheme was slowly converted to black and gold.
