Several Years ago I was giving a special RUNE MAGIC class for my Viking Spirit Warriors. There were 4 vikings there plus my wife Lory, who is a Valkyrie.

She has very keen insight and can see and hear many more things than I can.

During the second class (of four) Lory looked up on the landing that led to our bedroom. We were in the living room with the fireplace blazing. It was a cold winter night.

We could tell by her stare that she saw something. We waited then I asked her what she was looking at.

She said that there were four warriors in full battle dress on the landing. They were listening to what we were talking about.

I asked her what kind of warriors they were? She said one was a Viking Warrior, A Cheyene Dog Soldier, A Samurai, and a Zulu Warrior.

We all looked at each other in amazement. None of us, the men, could see them. But we all knew that she could.

I finished the lesson with many peeks at the balcony. Still I could see nothing.

Then Lory said they had gone. We asked her what they wanted and she said they did not answer her, that they just stood and listened. There was no animousity between them. They seemed to respect and accept each other as if they all belonged to a special club.

I held two more lessons and Lory said that they showed up for each one.

I never found out the reasons for their coming or what they wanted.

Then, one day when I was writing my Rune Magic webpage about my visit with the HOPI Grandfather, at Four Corners, Arizona for my SBI site, it all came back to me.

It was something that he told me years ago that had stuck in my mind and fascinated me.

I only stayed with the Hopi Grandfather for one day, but we talked of many things. It was amazing how many things we Vikings had in common with the Indians.

We talked about the importance of blood lines and ancestors. I told him that many of the Northern European young people in the country were flocking to the Indian culture.

He shook his head in understanding and said that it did not matter they could never be Indians no matter how much they played at it.

Then he told me some very profound things about ancestors. I will share a little with you.

He said, "Ragnar, you are a viking warrior. You could go and live in the woods and paint your face and wear feathers in your hair. Even eat dogs as a sacred ritual, but you could never be a Cheyene Dog Soldier.

"You coudl look like one, act like one, smell like one and eat like one but you could never be one.

"To be a Chyene Dog Soldier you must have the blood of a Cheyene Indian running through your veins. It is the blood that makes the connection with the ancestors, with the Ancestral Soul of the Cheyene nation.

"All the memories, skills, protection and courage that a Cheyene Dog Soldier experiences flows through his blood from the Ancestral Soul to him. Without the connection to the Cheyene Ancestral Soul, you cannot be a Cheyene Dog Soldier.

"Even the Great Spirit would not recognize you.

"If you wore the clothes of a Samurai Warrior, painted your face, wore two sacred swords, was an expert at shooitng arrows from a horse and a swordmaster in arms, you could not be a Samurai Warrior. YOU DO NOT HAVE THE BLOOD.

"Therefore you do not have a connection to the Japanese Ancestral Soul. No connection, no warrior.

"If you dyed your skin black, went to the jungle and killed a lion with only a spear, you would not have the blood of a Zulu Warrior. No blood, no Ancestral Soul connection, no warrior.

"You are a Northern European. The blood of your ancestors flows through your veins. Some of your ancestors were Viking Warriors. Therefor you can be a Viking Warrior.

"You have the blood and the connecton to the Viking Ancestral Soul.

"You can communicate with your ancestors, You can commune with the gods/goddesses of your ancestors. You can ask for and recieve guidance and help. You have their memories. You can use their magick.

"If you tried to be a Cheyene Dog Soldier, A ZulauWarrior or a Japanese Samurai you would not succed. You would always remain a wanna-be.

"No blood, no connection, no communing with their ancestors, no communing with their gods/goddesses, no help or guidance, no memories, no magick.

"The Great Spirit is very exact in his creations. Only man tries to foul the workings of Natural Law up by mixing and matching everything. Things that are not supposed to be mixed.

"Watch out for these men who preach this mixing. They are up to no good!"

It was my interest in the comaradary of these four different warriors that peaked my interest. I wanted to be part of that speical club. This is what attracted them to my lessons.

You do not have to believe anything I say. All I ask you is what magic have you practiced. What strong belief systems do you have?

(Make sure that you read the article i wrote about what the Hopi Grandfather said about racial mixing.)
