RAN Initiation - Nordic Viking Ritual for abundance, protection and the mystic

Ran, a goddess associated with the sea's profound mysteries, embodies a spirit as dynamic as the ocean itself. Her presence feels refreshing and full of life, much like a brisk sea breeze. Ran symbolizes resilience and determination.
The name "Ran" is derived from Old Norse, meaning "robbery" or "plunder." It perfectly encapsulates her role as a Norse goddess associated with the sea, where she is known for capturing and collecting the souls of sailors who meet their fate in the ocean. The name reflects her aspect as a powerful force that takes what is due, emphasizing the sometimes treacherous nature of the sea.
Her underwater domain is both alluring and mysterious, holding secrets for those brave enough to explore. Mythologically wise, Ran is someone who understands the delicate balance of nature. She encourages reverence for the earth and all its inhabitants, teaching us to find harmony with the natural world.

Ran's character is complex, reflecting the beauty and power of the ocean. Seeking initiation from her is like delving into the strength, beauty, and grace found in the vast underwater realm she represents. Her influence is felt in the rhythmic waves that touch the shores of spiritual seekers. Those intrigued by her mysteries may discover solace and inspiration as they explore the boundless depths she unveils, offering initiation into the heart of the vast and mysterious oceanic realm.

One notable myth involving Ran is the story of her underwater abode and her relationship with the sea god Aegir. According to the myth, Aegir and Ran are a married couple, and their dwelling is a magnificent hall beneath the ocean waves. Aegir is often depicted as a benevolent deity, hosting grand feasts for the gods, where the brewing of divine ale takes place.
Despite Aegir's more hospitable nature, Ran is known for her darker tendencies. She is said to cast a vast net into the ocean to capture the souls of drowned sailors. In this aspect, Ran represents the unforgiving and relentless aspects of the sea, taking those who fall victim to its treacherous depths. Those drawn to Ran may find her stories resonating with the ebb and flow of life's unpredictable currents.

Initiation into the energies of Ran, the Norse goddess of the sea, can bring about a range of benefits, including:

- Connection with Elemental Forces: This initiation establishes a profound connection with the elemental forces of the sea, allowing you to attune to the primal and ancient energies associated with water.
- Wisdom and Intuition: Ran is often linked with wisdom and intuition. Initiation may enhance your intuitive abilities.
- Understanding Fate and Destiny: Ran's myth involves capturing the souls of sailors, symbolizing the inevitability of fate. Initiation may provide a deeper understanding of destiny.
- Navigating Emotional Depths: The sea is often seen as a metaphor for the vastness of emotions. Initiation into Ran's energies may assist in navigating emotional depths, fostering emotional resilience and balance.
- Protection during Journeys: As a sea goddess, Ran is invoked for protection during journeys, particularly those involving travel over water. Initiation may serve as a protective charm for those embarking on physical or metaphorical journeys.
- Facing Challenges Head-On: The sea is both beautiful and formidable. Initiation into Ran's energies may instill courage and resilience.
- Mystical Experiences: Some initiates report having mystical or transcendent experiences during rituals associated with Ran, providing glimpses into the profound and mysterious nature of the sea.
- Abundance from the Sea: Those initiated to Ran may find increased abundance in their lives, especially in areas related to the sea, such as fishing, maritime endeavors, or simply a general increase in prosperity.
- Gifts from the Ocean: Ran is known for her underwater hall, where treasures are said to be stored. Initiates may receive symbolic or metaphorical gifts from the depths, such as newfound creativity, hidden talents, or unexpected opportunities.

FAQ:
I’m a lifelong practitioner of the craft. My witchcraft draws upon ancient traditions from Scandinavia. I have a degree in prehistoric archaeology and therefore I use many of these ancient traditions that have been passed through generations. I’m combining this with the knowledge from the women from my mother’s site of the family, that have been “wise women” for as long as we have been able to trace back –to the 15th century.

Also, I work with the ancient, Nordic gods and goddesses. Depending on the ritual, I will call upon different entities to assist in the work being done.

I carry out most of my work in nature at sites known to have been used for rituals for thousands of years leading back to the Stone Age through the Bronze Age, Iron Age, Viking age and beyond. These places are known archaeologically because of findings of sacrifices and remains from spell work, and I use the same places so I can draw upon all the magic that is loaded in the air, the water and the earth. When I then do my spells, I can draw upon my own powers, the ancient powers and the spirits that have gathered there for thousands of years. I am blessed to be living in a place where these ancient sites are in our landscapes and people have been using them since the beginning of when humans first came here. These places represent the liminal space between our world and the other world and doing my magic in the old ways have been very powerful for myself and my clients.

That I work in this way also means, that I’m not performing your spell right after you purchase. (If someone else claims to perform your spell within an hour and just write you it's done, please consider the legitimacy of what they do). I always prepare all my spells careful, and I take information you provide me with into consideration. I ALWAYS SEND A PHOTO TO YOUR ETSY ACCOUNT WITH PROOF OF COMPLETETION.

My Magic works two ways. Firstly: I will clear all the block in your way. I then let the desired energy flow towards you and I call upon ancient powers to assist me, when I do my spells. Secondly: I need you to work with my magic and to keep an open mind. This means, that you will keep a positive attitude, that you will be patient and that you will trust in mine and the higher powers. Keep your intentions clear on what you desire. For a love spell for example, this means that my spell will start to work on the subject the minute the spell is cast. It is like when you set water in motion. At first, it runs slowly, but as time goes the water runs faster and faster. The person might start with thinking about you, and you start to show up in their dreams. Then the feelings start to grow and from here, it can still take a little while before they reach out and contact you. Don’t lust for immediate results, live your life and be confident that there are powers working in your favor.

So how long before the spells start to work? Some of my clients have had extremely fast results. Other times, results take longer to manifest.

But I also want you to remember, that just because a spell does not work right away, it does not mean that it's not WORKING: It is. Results can take days, weeks and sometimes even months to manifest. When you then suddenly get your heart’s desire, you realize that it was all working towards this all along.

I use sacrifices in my work. This is not done as in the old ways, but for prosperity spells for example, I will use coins and sacrifice them on your behalf into the holy water at the sites where I perform my spells. Give and you shall receive. In other spells, I will bury something into the ground, as this enhances the spell and makes it more powerful over time. When you offer something to the Universe, the earth, the water and the ancient gods, it will make the spells stronger. This has been done for thousands of years as the magic workers have always known the ways of sacrifice.

What you can expect to feel: You can feel lighter and more calm. Some of my clients have reported they could feel a tingling in their whole body the minute I started their spell. Others have felt a warm and positive energy as a blanket around them. When I do your spell, a dramatic amount of energy is sent towards you and because I only work with safe and good forces, there is nothing to be afraid of. My spells are all safe and will never bring harm to you.

It’s easy to set up a candle and say a few words, and sometimes this also can have a little effect. But I’m not into easy, I’m into things that work and therefore, before you order a spell from me, I want you to be completely sure that you want the outcome. It’s easier to set the Universe and all it’s powers into motion than it is to stop it when it’s already running. My magic is extremely powerful, and the results can also be extremely potent. This is also why I don’t offer spells for $5, as the energy put into these spells are most likely to reflect this price if they’re even performed at all.
