The Gift of Odin

No one knows exactly how old the Runes are. Rune-like symbols have been discovered in caves with inscriptions being traced back as early as the late Bronze Age (circa 1300 BC), Runes and their symbols have been painted on the shields of warriors bent on conquest, and references of Runes have been mentioned in earlier testaments of the Bible. Eminent scientific Runologist, Dr R.I. Page of Cambridge University, acknowledges that the Runic symbols were well established forms of communication, and suggests that they had been used for some centuries before the time or need of written language. Page implies that the Runes, found wide-spread across Northern Europe and Britain, were used in both ritual and as an Oracle for consultation (An Introduction to English Runes 1973 & 1999, and Reading the Past - Runes 1987).

According to the perspective of the Germanic peoples themselves, the Runes came from no such source as mundane as the Old Italic Alphabet. Oh no! And what’s more, they command that the Runes were not thought up nor invented. Instead, the tale goes on to spin the story of Odin - a widely revered Nordic God, father of Thor, and seeker of great knowledge - hanging upside down from the Yggdrasil, or World Tree, peering into the wise waters of the Well of Urd. For nine long nights, Odin hung on this tree with no food or drink. And in this state of sacrifice he withered, until he peered into the depths below and spied the Runes! With this, he seized them up and then overcome with dizziness, he fainted and fell. Once he awoke, he spoke of a renowned wisdom which brought him joy and sustenance for self growing.

Journey & Manifestation Painting

With the client’s consent, Maya journeys to gather information from her guides on what needs to be shared. She uses paint as the medium to deliver this information to the client, providing a reading afterwards on what she understands has been revealed. In subsequent years the symbolic insight behind this work of art often unfolds. This type of divination differs from other types of readings, in that the client receives a living breathing artwork which becomes a part of their spiritual routine as they are exposed to it daily, relaying relevant information on their journey. The client’s interpretation of their life’s unfoldment may run deeper than the initial reading Maya offers, making it a visceral addition to their path and an inspirational piece to meditate on throughout the years.

Shamanic Journey

​

Offering readings through Shamanic Journeying to help others gain clarity to questions they may be struggling with.

A reading involves the practitioner to journey and ask for guidance from her spirit guides, and bring back the wisdom that was offered.

Divination, or “to be inspired by a god”, is the practice of seeking knowledge and insight about an unknown question or situation by way of a ritual and spiritual channel.

This “sacred seeking” comes in many forms - tarot, symbols, psychic messages, tea leaves, or omens - all of which are designed to offer spiritual direction and connection to Self.
