Traditional lore – Fehu is attributed to balance–a state ofbeing fulfilled, having exactly what’s needed–not too much, not too little. Such a moment is joy and the experience of the quality of life being improved.

Animistic lore – Wunjo is the ability to experience the collective of Self as held by sacred forces. Through the bonds of Gebo, we experience those bonds as their own agency, moving out into the world. It is the first point in the Futhark that we see the results of our own agency, and that agency moving in the world as its own life force.

Wunjo isn't just joy,

but roll around in it, get it all over you kind of joy.

Reveling with Wunjo Introspections

How comfortable are you with joy?
When you think of bliss, where do you feel it in your body?
What are your best memories of manifestation?
Who helped you achieve those memories?

I’m an animist, author, deathwalker and death doula. For the last 25+ years, through Soul Intent Arts I’ve helped others to ethically build thriving spiritual paths as fit, embodied elders, who upon death become wise, capable Ancestors.
