This is my book of Redefining Words. Stafir is Icelandic for Letters. Combined they become Symbols holding a Meaning and/or a hidden Spell. This is a Quest of Realizing and Releasing it. #redefining #introspection #design #runereadings #scandinavian

The frozen water on the grass being an accumulation of droplets carried with the wind from the waterfall Seljalandsfoss in Iceland. Sometimes I can feel so frozen up, stiff and cold. I have been looking at the word ice and the rune Isa. Sometimes, especially during winter in the north you tend to slow down and want to rest or 'gå i ide' as we call it in Swedish, take the winter rest like the Bears do. It is like a time to gather your strength, go inside and reassess self, a time for processing on a deeper level. It is also in this space where I can become creative on other levels of myself. I also like it to the night. Since it is dark in wintertime in Scandinavia it is like a very long night. During the night I relax and open up to myself. I cozy up in warmth supporting myself from the frost outside. But if I do not relax and I fight the cold I become rigid and harsh, I tense up and have a difficulty moving. When I fight it, it is because I desire to not be constricted I am coming at it within a force of resistance, reaction to it and an inner anger and frustration. In this resistance I fail to see that I am one with the winter, the dark and the cold and I can actually embrace it as me and go deep within to open up to me, investigate and see. More on this in next post.. _______________________ #seljalandsfoss #nature #winter #spring #sunny #frost #ice #iceland #cold #stuck #rigid #intense #calm #stand #scandinavia #north #icequeen #introspection #insights #lookingin #winterrest #ide #gåiide #sleep #rest #harsh #swedish #forceful #agressive #embrace

Looking at the word START I realize that I start every day. That every moment is a new start. And to remember that when I start something I will have to start again and again until what it is I started is done. And that some things I start might not actually have a particular clear future outcome as an end product, it might morph and change as I go so I won't necessarily know when it is going to be done. But to not let this hold me back in starting again and again for each moment that needs to move. Moving through the resistances and let me start as the star coming into existence, bringing out that fire in me. Now to practice this word day by day bringing out the Star in me with the Start in each moment, breath by breath. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 _______________________________________ #start #star #beginning #end #words #change #stepbystep #newstart #everydayisanewday #everydayisanewstart #livinglearning #livingandlearning #livingandlife #change #stafir #spelling #spellofwords #spell #magic #magicofwords #meaningofwords #defining #wordkey #keywords #life

S T A F I R is Icelandic and means letters. The old runes of Scandinavia were also called stafir. Each staf represent a sound. So we can call it a symbol to represent a sound. Each sound carries its own expression. You can combine stafir and with that create a word that stands for something, that has a meaning or a 'spell'. Now, throughout time we have attached more to a word/sound/staf than only its sound and pure meaning. They have become tainted with an energy. Meaning, when you learned a word, often there was a particular energy charge within that moment. Now that moment with the charge is in a way encrypted within this word as you grow up. This has a tremendous effect on who we are in relation to words and the definitions we have of them on a conceptual level as well as an energetic level. In a way we are under a spell of words you can say, through the language we speak and the charge we put under each word. I am very interested in the investigation of this and would like to share my journey of redefining and living words for myself. Understanding the spell in the spelling, realizing and releasing it. This is my Book of Words that I combine with my interest in the runes, my heritage as being Icelandic and my joy for designing. This is also a journey that I am going to be walking along side @schoolofultimateliving and @eqafe support which is also were I got my idea initially to start this journey, definitely check out their videos. Please follow if you are interested in walking with me, my design journey and uncovering and discovering what lays behind the symbol of runes and words plus some pictures of Iceland and more!! 💎❄️💙❄️💎 ______________________________________ #stafir #bookofwords #scandinavia #scandinavianculture #runes #spell #unspelling #newway #redefining #introspection #investigation #words #rune #youarethewordsyouspeak #life #journey

Realize the spell and release yourself. Stafir design is based on the understanding that words is what make up our world. Meaning, who we have become is determined by who we are through the words we think and speak and what definition and intention is behind them. Therefore realizing how self change can happen on the level of words.
