From across lush green valleys and deeply bosomed hills came
the sounds of harps and flutes and bells joining together in a cacophony of
glorious music. Deep down into the
chasms of Valhalla they penetrated bringing forth the dead warriors who abode
there shaking their heads as if not believing in the music they were hearing
for they had given up earthly delights and now lived in the dark underworld
from which there was no return.
Far above the darkness of that terrible place, the pure
light of day sparkled on latticed buildings covered with gold. Trellises of
gleaming basalt topped rose coloured stone columns, and temples with spiral
columns and rounded bronzed cupolas marched across the plains. Granite walls surrounded multi-faceted tiled
floors and above all the copper domes bulged upwards and outwards forcing the
eye to ascend and traverse immense spaces.
In the days of yore, beings without physical form lived in
this magical land. Long before the Sun
and Moon and Earth separated, the mission of Hu-man was set forth. Many rounds of time would cover millions of
years before the mission would be completed, one of bringing Loving to the
earth planet.
The Great Spirit Lord instructed the Seven Lords of the Sun
of the work that was to be done and thus, in time, the Nine Worlds were formed
for each part of the planet belonged to particular Gods who could order the
waves, the winds, the earth, the moon and the stars and have them move and
change, and yet there was order within all.
On the Sun however the Seven Lords’ mission was still set
and their Logos was the Word that was with the Great Spirit Lord and was the
Great Spirit God, Odin the Great Father.
The Nine Worlds consisted of glaciers and mountains, silent
valleys where trees and forest grew lush and dense and bodies of water flecked
the land with spume when the winds blew across their surfaces. Each World brought forth its own quality impressed
upon it by the Seven Lords.
The World of the Salamondo, the Ents whose job was taking
care of trees and foliage.
Muspel Heim, World of the Fire people empowered to contain
the fires started by firebolts from the heavens when the Gods battled in the
heavens.
Darkalf Heim, World of the Dwarves who dug deep under the
earth looking for treasures.
Midgard, the World of Humans who populated the earth as it
was known at that time.
Jotun Heim, the World of Giants and Giantesses constantly
vying for power in the mountains and chasms.
Alfheim, World of the Elves who practiced white magic, rode
on Unicorns and were known for their great beauty.
The Valkyrie, Women Warriors who carried the dead to their
resting place in Valhalla.
Asgard, home of the Aesir Gods and Goddesses.
Vanaheim, home of the Vanir Gods who ruled over mist and
soft rain and were peaceful Gods.
The great Ash Yggdrasil grew through all these lands and was
worshipped by those who gazed upon its silvery green leaves and golden trunk
and long twining branches that reached up into the heavens. They placed their
prayers in tiny, bronzed cases and buried them deep in the soil around
Yggdrasil.
Out of one side of this world tree, a multi-coloured bow
traced its way across the sky in a huge arc. Colours of red, a vibrant energy
full of power and force, orange a continuing flow of energy, yellow bringing
forth understanding, brilliant emerald green eschewing healing, azure blue for
higher knowing and purple transmuting and changing and all who gazed upon this
bow and prayed for the colours to work their magical qualities, knew their
prayers would be answered.
