  Welcome
to my little piece of the web.
Hello all who read
this; I am Volundr Lars Agnarsson.
This page -written in 1999- was
designed to be a brief summary of my works. Bibliography
follows lastly. (Unless otherwise stated, the links on
this page are my works)
I am a member of
the Houston
Area Hópr which is a Skergard group. I
co-founded Skergard in 1992 with Ingrón Vanirsson. For
more information about Skergard please see our Bylaws
(rev. April 1998) as well as What is Skergard. I am also a member of the
Rune Gild.
Eirik
the Red and the First North American Colony is a historical account
thereof based on all known references including papal
documents.
Yule at
KveldulfR H. Gundarsson's is a relation of the event
held in Dallas, hosted by KveldulfR. Personally I will
not soon forget the sound of his mothers voice screaming
"STEPHAN!" as someone's head went through a
wall... as well as the marvelous talents of Alice
Karlsdottir. (this relation was co-written by RigR who was also present).
The
Goddess Thrudh is my research on the subject of
Thorr's daughter.
The Gods
Skadhi & UllR is my research on Skadhi and UllR,
though my opinion of UllR is not personally set in stone.
Prose to
Odhinn
is prose that I wrote as a dedicant of Odin, I currently
emulate him.
Seidhr
Divination System is a divination system that is
purely Vanic in nature that uses influence, colors, and
intuition skills as opposed to symbols with a more or
less constant basic meaning.
Norse
Concept of the Soul is my work related to soul lore.
For more extended notes, explanatory animated graphics
and illustrations please see The Soul.
The Dead
in the Mountains is some research on the belief that
the dead dwell in mountains.
Draugr
-The Living Dead is my research on the draugr.
Since there is a
severe lack of children's stories from an Asatru
perspective, I retold the following Fairy Tales under the
label "The Patented Tru Norse Fairy Tale
Collection". Jack and
the Troll Have an Eating Match | Thorri
& His Brothers | The Lad
Who Made the Princess Say "That's a Story!" | Billy
Goats Gruff | Buttercup | The
Cat... Dovrefell | The Bear
of Dalby | Shortshanks | Shortshanks
II
| Shortshanks
III
| Shortshanks IV |ICommentary
for Shortshanks.
In November 1997 I
created the concept of Skertru, which is a facet of
general Asatru that creates a common belief system based
on balancing ourselves equally with Aesism
and Vanism and Asatru with Vanatru. It is the
goal of Skertruar to balance themselves and not to lean
to far to one side of the spectrum, as this would be both
unhealthy and unwise. The writings of what is now Skertru
bagan composition in 1992. See also the FAQ.
The Holy Days are the major blessings,
as opposed the festivals of which there are approx.
twenty one.
The The Lay of Creation is basically the creation
story of our universe, Yggdrasil and the nine worlds put
into prose. Although this creation story is based on all
known sources, what sets this creation story apart is
that from Borr and Bestla are produced Odin, Hoenir, and
Holde as their children as opposed to Odin, Vili, and Ve
or Odin, Hoenir, and Loki, etc. For more extensive notes
on this subject please refer to The Lay
of Creation w/notes.
The Lay of Holde, Words of
the Sister, is inspired writing of Holde. It
was composed on a stone in the face of a 560 million year
old cliff <yes it has been dated> carved from a
glacial tide on Mount La Grange, Red Wing, MN.
The Catalog of Dwarves is my translation of the
Old Norse lay by the same same.
The Prophecy of Nanna is the story of Ragnarok,
the destruction of our universe, and the plans laid for
the creation of the next. It was composed near the
continental divide outside Nederland, CO, next to a tree
that a spring used for its source to come to the surface.
It is a very strikingly similar lay to the rare
Hrafngaldr <sp>; this is pure coincidence and
totally unintentional on my part. I believe that all
intuition comes from the same well, and therefore is
similar if indeed authentic. Of course this lay is
different from Hrafngaldr in that Holde kidnaps, kills
and resurrects Idunna as its main theme. This work is
based on all known lore regarding Ragnarok as well as
Skergard writings.
The
Aesirsogur is the original verse prose story
of the Aesir (as opposed to the Vanir Saga which is the
story of the Vanir). For the line prose (latest version)
please see Aesir
Saga.
What is
Fjallaheim is simply an article about a sacred
site known as Fjallaheim. The members of Skergard erected
this horg in the Franklin Mountains. This article
includes a picture of the site, as well as a picture of
me. [;^)
Here is a collection of some of
my art.
This is my stylized Runic
Alphabet (mostly complete).
This is my vision of a Hópr in
structure.
In March, 1999, I
finally completed my book, Skerbók.
I have been
working on a series of charts which explain pretty much
everything from the creation of the Worlds, the Elements,
and a map of the Yggdrasil. What sets these charts appart
from others is that they are all fully colorised and the
colors correspond with the rest of my research to date.
The Elemental charts go to the subatomic level, and the
research goes to the extent as to have atomic wieghts for
the inner 4 elements. The charts are unfortunately
scattered throughout this domain but a few of them are here.
After finding a
little bit of time I created a lineage chart for the gods
and goddesses available here.
