For those of you not familiar, The Skaldic Project is the online arm of the Skaldic Poetry of the Scandinavian Middle Ages book series, which publishes very extensive and well-edited collections of skaldic poetry which are very good but also very expensive, even for the volumes that are actually still in print. Luckily for the rest of us, their website does make these available later, and despite their recent renovations changing around a lot of my bookmarks, the upside is that all of the currently published/edited volumes are now up on the site for free, including previously unavailable poems such as Ragnarsdrápa, Thórsdrápa and Haustlöng.
Due to the sheer amount of information figuring your way around the website may require a bit of poking and exploring, but if you’re at all interested in Norse poetry, literature, or anything related (kennings especially), this is an excellent resource worth taking advantage of.

How to Predict Timing with Tarot
When performing the Celtic Cross, there are three positions that can reveal when the event will happen: The Advice, The Ultimate Outcome, and The Underworld. Acknowledge all these possibilities. But your intuition will tell you which is most likely.
THE MAJOR ARCANA
The Fool – Whenever you are ready
The Magician – It has already begun
The High Priestess – You know exactly when
The Empress – During harvest season
The Emperor – It is almost done
The Hierophant – It is finished
The Lovers – As soon as you make the choice
The Chariot – In just a few moments
Strength – The minute you accept it
The Hermit – Only after you meditate on it
The Wheel of Fortune – During your first or next Saturn Return
Justice – When you least expect it
The Hanged Man – When the circumstances change
Death – Whenever it is ready
Temperance – After the storm
The Devil – It is happening right now
The Tower – Soon, unexpectedly and suddenly
The Star – The more you believe, the sooner it will happen
The Moon – It cannot be determined at the moment
The Sun – In the summer or by sunrise
Judgement – Soon and inevitably
The World – In divine timing

To Help You Remember:
Wands are days, because they are fire, and fire moves fast.
Swords are weeks, because while a sword is quick to cut, it first requires some thinking on the warrior’s part.
Cups are months, because they are water, and water flows with the moon, which completes a cycle in roughly a month.
Pentacles are seasons to years, because they are seeds, and some seeds only require a season to grow while others need a year.
The timings for the Major Arcana and the Pages are related to the cards’ meanings. Once you know the meanings, you know the timings.
The Kings, Queens and Knights are the Zodiac signs’ birthdays:
King of Wands – Leo (Fixed Fire)
Queen of Wands – Aries (Cardinal Fire)
Knight of Wands – Sagittarius (Mutable Fire)
King of Cups – Scorpio (Fixed Water)
Queen of Cups – Cancer (Cardinal Water)
Knight of Cups – Pisces (Mutable Water)
King of Swords – Aquarius (Fixed Air)
Queen of Swords – Libra (Cardinal Air)
Knight of Swords – Gemini (Mutable Air)
King of Pentacles – Taurus (Fixed Earth)
Queen of Pentacles – Capricorn (Cardinal Earth)
Knight of Pentacles – Virgo (Mutable Earth)
As a broke uni student I really can't afford to buy a nice collection of crystal rune stones, so after a couple trips to the beach I've collected these stones and am in the process of painting them!
I think i much prefer creating my own tools. They feel so much more mine.
People: "The runes are powerful, magical symbols and should never be used lightly."
Medieval Scandinavian people:
"Thorni fucked. Helgi carved these."
"Ingigerð is the most beautiful of women."
"Thorgeir owns this."
"Halfdan was here." (carved on the Hagia Sophia)
