Welcome

So. I started a blog. I knew I should for a long time, but I had no idea what I should write about, or why. I’m just some damn kid from South Carolina, brand new to my path. What the fuck do I know? And who the hell cares?

But, then, as should be obvious by the fact that I’m writing this, something changed. A fun experiment from a thing my teacher did very quickly turned into something much, MUCH bigger. And I knew I couldn’t keep it to myself. And since I had a blog half-built, this seemed pretty much the best way to get shit done.

I suppose I should introduce myself.

My name is Maleck Odinsson. I’m a Heathen, I’m a Spirit Worker, and most of the time I feel like I don’t know what I’m doing. And I’m writing this blog as a way to bring Pack Magic to the world.

Pack Magic is probably going to be the focus of this blog, interspersed with random bits of spiritual topic of the week. At some point I’ll write up a longer post introducing myself. Of course if you’ve found this blog then you’re probably already at least SLIGHTLY familiar with me.

More importantly, what the fuck is Pack Magic?

Pretty simple really: Pack Magic is a fledgling initiated magical tradition born out of an experiment. The idea was pretty straightforward. Put yourself into the mindset of a wolf and do magic from their perspective. How might that be done? And as the thought-experiment grew, I quickly found that not only did it WORK, but also that there was a spirit of Wolf and a spirit of Pack waiting for me, wanting to interact, wanting a relationship. And wanting to this to be shared.

Another thing that’s important to point out is some things that Pack Magic IS NOT.

It isn’t a religion. While I encourage devotional relationships, Pack Magic isn’t a religion in its own right. Most of the spirits in this tradition appreciate but don’t necessarily desire worship (at least in the traditional Western sense of the word).

It isn’t a mutually exclusive path. It’s completely possible to be initiated into Pack Magic while being a part of other traditions, etc. Polytheism is a religion/philosophy of AND, not OR. While I can definitely understand why some traditions might demand they be followed exclusively, that is not the case here.

I think that’s it for now.
