THE Runes
Viking runes are characters from ancient alphabets used by the Norse people. They served for writing, communication, and inscriptions on stone, wood, metal, & bone.
Runes also held magical significance, used in rituals, amulets & divination. The symbols offered a glimpse into Viking life, culture & beliefs.
At 8:08 PM on March 10, 2024, I consulted the runes on the issue of the Viking Academy.
The response was the rune Teiwaz, (The Rune of the Spiritual Warrior) which gave me the following guidance:
1) Remember that the true battle is always with the self
2) Allow the will of the divine to flow through you
3) Resolve to align yourself with your higher "Self"
...and the Viking Academy was born.
THE RUNE OF THE VIKING ACADEMY
I created The Viking Academy Rune to act as a symbol & reminder for what it means to be a spiritual warrior.
This Rune tells us the following:
- Life created you for a purpose, to fulfill a role in its unfolding.
- Pick up your sword, explore yourself & cut away your past conditioning to discover who you are & why you're here.
- Actively engage your life with passion & purpose like the ancient Vikings did.
This rune has 3 Guiding Principles:
- Take responsibility for your own life.
- Proactively improve yourself & your tribe.
- Make your mark on the world.

So I went to university, got a degree in Psychology & Economics and became a Chartered Accountant.
Where most of you would be crying over this drastic change, I actually thought I was winning life
...then it all fell apart.
Alcoholism took me down.
But what was the worst day of my life, became the best day of my life.
I put the bottle down and started a journey of self discovery.
