Beast's Viking Oracle Cards

Fehu The skills and gifts you have within are your greatest treasure. They will never be stolen. Pay attention tot he way you view the links between personal power and wealth. Prosperity needs to be developed over time - and then shared.  I am the way to wealth, The power of having and moving, The freedom of having enough, With more to come. I carry my treasure. Within me is all. I am Fehu. Fehu (pronounced FAYwho) is one of the runes of the Elder Futhark. It literally means "cattle", and the symbol itself resembles the horns on cattle.  The vikings, who traveled quite a bit, had to carry portable forms of wealth with them as they traded or explored. Their wealth, therefore, wasn't measured just in gold. Cattle and other livestock, for instance, represented a type of mobile wealth - wealth that was literally "on the hoof", so this rune is an apt symbol for the idea of prosperity within the viking paradigm.  The vikings al...

Valkyries You can win the battle you face. Let go of your inner restrictions and others' expectations. Explore your wild self. Redemption is always available. Be the hero in your own life.

The Valkyries were known variously as "choosers of the slain", "battlefield maidens", "mead maidens" and "shield maidens". They selected the bravest, most wor...

Yggdrasil You are part of the tree of life. You belong. You are part of something bigger than you realize. You deserve a wonderful life. Your destiny is both fated and shaped by your will. Be present. Be grounded. I am Now, Holding up Sending through, Being with, Sending forth, Connected to Everything. I am Life. Yggdrasil, the tree of life, is the center of the cosmos. It grows in Asgard, the realm of the gods. It is also known as askr Yggdrasils, which means “the ash tree to which Odin's (Yggr's) eight-legged horse, Sleipnir, is tied.” A mighty ash, Yggdrasil supports within it's branches and roots the nine worlds of the Norse cosmos. There, in the various realms, live all beings, including humans and gods. Yggdrasil grows up from the Well of Wyrd, which is the flow and living force of destiny that nourishes both the world tree and life itself. The magic and power that flow through the very heart of the tree travels along it...
