Feather-skin 03:28
A thousand stitches weave yourself back home within your body, blood and bones A thousand stitches weave your soul back home within your body, blood and bones A thousand prayers in remembrance of your power

Eg eier min skygge Eg eier mitt lys Eg står i min kraft Eg snakker min sannhet Det som dør Føder nytt liv Skyggen beskytter Lyset heler De virvler og vever runenes dans

Ravnegaldr 03:28
Ravnen kaller meg heim I mitt hjarte, i min sjel Jeg blir ett med deg Med dine vinger flyr jeg fri Høyt og djupt i livets tre Imellom verdener, inn i drøm Runene viser vei Den hvite ravnen holder meg Lokkar meg i djupna Puster liv i arr og sår Danser med skyggen, vever lys Føder magi, føder skjebnen Følgjer meg hvor enn jeg fer

Sacred Dark 06:31
Carry your magic Under your wings Into my skin Awaken the spirits Haunting the shadows As you fly to the underworld The ice thaws beneath me Swallowed by the dark I surrender to my emotions My tears guide the way Underneath the pain And you hold me as I descend Sheltered by the mist Fragments of my soul That I retrieve as I breathe life within

Eg eier min skygge Eg eier mitt lys Eg står i min kraft Eg snakker min sannhet Det som dør Føder nytt liv Skyggen beskytter Lyset heler De virvler og vever runenes dans

Human Soul 04:24
As the world withers Taken by the dark To face our demons Deep wounds that have been lingering all along Don’t look away from the pain It’s a cry for help from the human soul When voices come together In the name of freedom When we stand side by side In remembrance of our power When we no longer allow Abuse and oppression When we unite our dreams Of a world where all are free Don’t stay silent when the world is bleeding Pain becomes a guide showing what needs healing Whether we simply show kindness and compassion Whether we tend to the wounds shared by many Whether we sing and we dance in defiance Whether we stand and protest in resistance When voices come together In the name of freedom When we stand side by side In remembrance of our power When we no longer allow Abuse and oppression When we unite our dreams Of a world where all are free The power is within to heal the world we live in

Ur 05:57
Within the womb, within the sacred You are held and loved

about

The writing of Sacred Dark was initiated by a rune ceremony during a full moon eclipse and the birth of a personal bindrune that later got marked into my skin. The bindrune symbolises my intention of stitching myself back together all while shedding the parts of me that have died along the way, to breathe myself back to life and be reborn.
Sacred Dark refers to the magic of the womb. It is a journey within the cave to meet both the light and the dark.

However, when witnessing the darkness that is taking hold of the world, I realise that the intention of this release is far more than personal. It isn’t solely about my own experience as if I would be disconnected from everything else happening around me. It is a journey I share with many. Ultimately healing isn’t just personal, it is something we do as a part of a community.
Trauma dissociates and disconnects, it is like a fragmentation from within. That is a response from our nervous system trying to keep us safe. Healing is about reconnecting, to ourselves and to the world, as we come home to ourselves and integrate our place within the web of life, remembering that we belong, that we matter and that we are all making a difference by simply existing.

What we are witnessing in times of collective chaos is unhealed traumas coming to the light.
It is when the shadows are being revealed and when the wounds are being opened that the medicine can be received and that the healing journey may begin.
When we understand that it isn’t just about stitching ourselves back together as individuals, but as a part of a whole. In my mind this is when shadow work becomes a collective act of healing.
