DION FORTUNE PSYCHIC SELF DEFENSE

jury from someone who, at considerable cost to myself, i had disinterestedly helped, and i was sorely tempted to retaliate. lying on my bed resting one afternoon, i was brooding over my resentment, and while so brooding, drifted towards the borders of sleep. there came to my mind the thought of casting off all restraints and going berserk. the ancient nordic myths rose before me, and i thought of fenris, the wolf-horror of the north. immediately i felt a curious drawing-out sensation from my solar plexus, and there materialised beside me on the bed a large wolf. it was a well-materialised ectoplasmic form. like z, it was grey and colourless, and like him, it had weight. i could distinctly feel its back pressing against me as it lay beside me on the bed as a large dog might. i knew nothing

en entirely disappeared. thereafter the world was enveloped in hideous winter. snow-storms descended from all points of the horizon. war broke out all over the earth. brother slew brother, children no longer respected the ties of blood. it was a time when men were no better than wolves, eager to destroy each other. soon the world was going to sink into the abyss of nothingness. meanwhile the wolf fenrir, whom the gods had long ago so carefully chained up, broke his bonds at last and escaped. he shook himself and the world trembled. the ash tree yggdrasil [envisaged as the axis of the earth] was shaken from its roots to its topmost branches. mountains crumbled or split from top to bottom, and the dwarfs who had their subterranean dwellings in them sought desperately and in vain for entrance

tent transmission of a precessional message in a wide range of ancient myths. and, strangely enough, many of the key images and symbols that crop up in these myths notably those that concern a derangement of the heavens are also to be found embedded in the ancient traditions of worldwide cataclysm reviewed in chapters twentyfour and twenty-five. in norse mythology for example, we saw how the wolf fenrir, whom the gods had so carefully chained up, broke his bonds at last and escaped: he shook himself and the world trembled. the ash-tree yggdrasil was shaken from its roots to its topmost branches. mountains crumbled or split from top to bottom. the earth began to lose its shape. already the stars were coming adrift in the sky. in the opinion of de santillana and von dechend, this myth mixes

avens and that the stars, which have come adrift in the sky, are dropping into the void. 3 such celestial imagery, repeated again and again with only relatively minor variations in myths from many different parts of the world, belongs to a category earmarked in hamlet s mill as not mere storytelling of the kind that comes naturally .4 moreover the norse traditions that speak of the monstrous wolf fenrir, and of the shaking of yggdrasil, go on to report the final apocalypse in which the forces of valhalla issue forth on the side of order to participate in the terrible last battle of the gods a battle that will end in apocalyptic destruction: 500 doors and 40 there are i ween, in valhalla s walls; 800 fighters through each door fare, when to war with the wolf they go.5 with a lightness of to

ldskaparmal implies the existence of the wall (the gods put the kettles for it in the enclosure, but the incorporation of the asir and vanir, which is the precondition for the mead, occurred in the near past. another story of the early mythological present would be odin fs sending of hel to the underworld and the midgard serpent to the outer waters of the ocean, as well as the binding of the wolf fenrir, when ty lr lost his hand. in the mythological present hel presides over the underworld, thor fishes up the midgard serpent in offshore waters, and ty lr is without his hand, while fenrir awaits the end of the world. odin fs myths tend toward the early part of the mythic present: already mentioned are the mead of poetry, war and peace with the vanir, oath of bloodbrotherhood with loki, and

the terms of the game. even if it did not make ragnarok inevitable, it made it possible, for now the death of any and therefore of all the gods is a possibility. if we follow the baldr story in snorri fs gylfaginning, we see that odin fs strategy of swearing blood-brotherhood with loki has failed, for it was loki who brought about baldr fs death. the gods now bind loki, and like his sons the wolf fenrir and the midgard serpent, he awaits ragnarok, the end of the world and the final period in the mythology. many of the events in the mythic present look forward to ragnarok: the failed oath of blood-brotherhood, the binding of evil creatures, and the gathering of einherjar, the chosen warriors of odin, at valholl. the mythic future also has two stages. in the near future is ragnarok, when the

arok and according to voluspa will steer a ship full of the forces of evil against the gods. snorri also grants him a mutually fatal single combat with heimdall. since the early twentieth century, and especially through the influential study of ragnarok by axel olrik, loki as bound monster has been associated with similar figures from traditions of people living in the caucasus. however, at least fenrir and garm are also clearly bound monsters, and the notion of bound forces of evil who will break free at ragnarok could be extended to nearly all the forces who will assail the gods at that time. if we are to take seriously the notion of a loan from the caucasus, it would affect nearly the entire mythology. and of course there was the analog within christian legend of the bound antichrist aw
