How much do we really remember about the process of initiation in our contemporary culture… Does anyone still know how to create a connection with the elemental forces…
This information used to be communicated, thru myths, sagas, stories of magic & noble deeds. We need new myths, new sagas, new stories to guide us on our path.
The Saga of Blue Wolf - Synopsis
The Blue Wolf Saga tells the story of an initiation: that of an ordinary man who lost his soul in the spritual void of the 21st cenury. Several encounters with mythological figures of the Norse pantheon (Freyja the Goddess of Initiation, Loki the Joker - or the troublemaker, Yggdrasil the Cosmic Tree...), will force him to overcome his apathy and his indifference.
Under the influence of Goddess Freyja, the Blue Wolf will go through a series of challenges that will lead to deep transformations: he will successively become a Úlfheðinn (a Berserker, or Wolf Warrior), then a telepathic Cyborg, and then finally a Seiðmann (Shaman, or wizard)... During his initiation quest, he will gradually discover his own gifts, which are connected to oral poetic traditions: the Power of the Word... The Blue Wolf will thus be turned into an enchanter.

Themes
Throughout the whole Saga, two intertwined themes will emerge. During the Golden Age, animals, plants, minerals and human beings used to share a common language. Human beings were then able to communicate with everything that surrounded them. At every step of his quest and of his spirtual evolution, the Blue Wolf is going to gradually rediscover that language.
The Logos, the Sacred Word, brings harmony to a Universe which tends naturally towards entropy. The Blue Wolf regains the creative power of Poetry, of the Word, which echoes into space and transforms the chaos into harmony.
Incantations, mantras, magic words, invocations: the Blue Wolf Saga is a quest which seeks to reconnect with the primordial Tradition, to explore the power of the Word...

The story unfolds

I am Yggdrasil
the World Tree
Axis Mundi
I was here
millions of years
before your race
came to be
There was a time
when we lived in harmony
the deep forest was your shelter
you spoke the language
of the feathered folk
nut and berry
fed your substance
… above all
was the grace
which lifted you
to dance
in a round
with the spirits
of the wood
There was a time
when you had a soul
there came an age
of Poetry and Song
the air was vibrant
from the power of incantation
wand witches
roamed the land
casting spells
magic and healing
learned from speaking
with the eldest trees
There was a time
when courage filled
the heart of the hero…
